Portland Trail Blazers, 2012-13

Tattoo percentage: 73% (11 players with tattoos, 4 without)

The Trail Blazers showed one of the largest leaps in tattoo percentage this year, with four more tattooed players than last year.

Players with tattoos:

LaMarcus Aldridge Every one of Aldridge's tattoos carries religious significance: praying hands, crosses, the text “KEEP GOD FIRST.” When asked about his collection, Aldridge simply replied, “Because I’m a man of strong faith. Strong beliefs.”

Will Barton The website High School Hopefuls interviewed Barton in his hometown of Baltimore. In the video, he discusses his tattoos, including the text "Where There's a Will There's a Way" on his back. As he explains: "My favorite tattoo right there. It's a clever joint, you know, it's biblical, it's got my name in it... I live by that, in the biblical sense, and I live by it, in my name sense. You got me, you're going to get it done!"

Joel Freeland Freeland has a tattoo on his right arm.

J.J. Hickson Hickson’s tattoos run up both arms and across his chest.

Jared Jeffries Jeffries has a crowned basketball tattooed on his left arm.

Meyers Leonard Blazers blogger Sarah Hecht shared a great anecdote from the 2012 media day about Leonard's "Forever Blessed" tattoo:

When the cameraman asked him about the meaning behind the word "Forever" tattooed on his inner arm he leaned back a bit more and showed the word "Blessed" on his right arm. He chuckled a bit then responded, "It means blessed forever."

Damian Lillard Lillard has Psalm 37 tattooed on his left arm. He described the personal significance of the text to Sam Amick in a 2012 Sports Illustrated profile: "It's about not letting anything sway you from what you believe; keep your faith strong."

Wes Matthews The recent article in the Oregonian, "Trail Blazers tattoos reveal players' values" includes an interesting quote from Matthews about his most recent tattoos, the text "Much is earned through God's blessing" on his right forearm and "Life comes and goes but legacies remain" on his left bicep: "Until I got these, if I wore a shirt, you would never know I had one. But these, they're not gaudy and they mean something. They're not an expression of ignorance."

Eric Maynor Maynor took advantage of the lockout in 2011 to add a lot of tattoos to his story. When asked by Candace Buckner of the Columbian for the reason behind this burst of new work, Maynor responded with one word: "bored."

Aleksander (Sasha) Pavlovic Pavlovic has a tattoo on his right arm.

Nolan Smith Nolan Smith was nine years old when his father, NBA champion Derek Smith passed away at the age of 34 from a previously undetected heart defect. A 2008 profile published by ESPN during Nolan’s freshman year at Duke described the tattoo tribute the son has for his father:

Years later, when Nolan was 16, he asked Monica if he could get a tattoo. She first refused, then changed her mind when he said he wanted one of his father.

“I said, ‘You can get that, but you have to wear it with honor and integrity,’ ” Monica said. “That’s the only tattoo he’ll ever have.”

The green ink on Nolan Smith’s right biceps reads “Forever watching”. Below that is 4RIP3, and a sketch of his father’s face, followed with “Derek Smith 1961-1996”.

“I have this tattoo on my arm,” Nolan said, “and I remember him at all times.”

Players without tattoos:

Luke Babbitt Nicholas Batum Victor Claver Elliot Williams

Trail Blazers tattoos reveal players' values (Oregonian)

Great article this week in the Oregonian featuring photos and quotes from Trail Blazers players about their tattoos. I've noticed the cherubs peeking out of Jared Jeffries' jersey before, but had no idea how elaborate his back piece is. Also includes coverage of Wes Matthews, Will Barton, LaMarcus Aldridge, JJ Hickson, Nolan Smith, and Damian Lillard. Hickson definitely has the best quote of the bunch: "Right before college, I got this whole arm blasted and I was like, 'Oops.'" Click the photo or link above for the full story.

Episode #56 - Jared Jeffries

Sun tan lotion packaging is a little too provocative for Jared Jeffries, and that gets he and Jorin back to talking about the traumatic moment yet again.
