tattoos

Are there any Division 1 officials with tattoos on their arms that are exposed? Would having a tattoo on your arm keep you from officiating higher-level basketball?

I have a buddy who is in multiple major D1 conferences and I have seen pictures of him in uniform with an exposed tattoo on his bicep.

My guess is it depends on a couple things.
1. How big is it?
2. What is it?
3. What your particular supervisor thinks.
4. Whether I can count to "a couple."

Lets just say it won't help you get into any D1 Conferences!


Unless the tat says:

• Rule 2.3 (In the style of John 3.16)

• My Savior: Joey Crawford

"We live by the rules of the games we play"

(Although the fans would just point out that we ARE blind!)

The following tattoos will probably not help your chances:

• Referees do it 'Fox'y Style

• Cheerleaders Love Me

• Coaches are Devils

If I were a coach I sure wouldn't yell at this guy!

....so it might help your chances because a supervisor might not mind having a guy like this on his staff

It depends: is he 6'4" or 5'4"?

Look 5'4" to me.

I have a tattoo of Ed Hightower on the back of my neck. Will that hold up my career?
