Last night it was a large piece of what looked to be tape. While you could still see the tattoo through the tape, we did give them credit for the effort.

Where do you officiate? I work in Allen Iverson's hometown so you can imagine what I see. We would have a bunch of mummies runnning around the court.

A tattoo is not equipment, nor is it apparel. This rule does not apply.

I "have" tatoos, and they are not "worn" - they are "displayed." (And not when officiating.)

Theoretically here (reaching - reach with me), could a vulgar tattoo not possibly be construed/judged to be an offense punishable by a flagrant technical foul? For instance, one that includes the bad word? (-I've seen one in university intramurals.) - Although, I suppose it would go directly against the previously mentioned repeal of the pertinent NFHS rule.

Not that I'm wanting to do this, just stirring things.

If a tatoo was vulgar or offensive I would require it to be covered up and would use the rule as being inappropriate

Didn't Lebron play for a catholic school? My guess is it's a school or conference thing.

Is a tatoo equipment or apparel which is dangerous or confusing to other players or is not appropriate?

Equipment and apparel are not tattoos. You cannot just put them on or take them off as you wish (at least the permanent kind). If that is the case then hairstyles would be subject to this rule.

Peace
