shont Had this happen during a v boys game. While the teams were warming up the vis. coach calls me over and asks if a player from the home team should have to cover a tatoo on their arm. I told him that our Activities Association (Ks) says it is up to each individual team and school to cover them up or not. Personally, I don't like a tatoo, but that is just my personal opinion. Anyway, is this the same for other states? thank you shont
firedoc In my county (Nassau, NY) I don't believe that we have a blanket policy against tatoos. However, Fed rules say that any OBJECTIONABLE tatoo must be covered. The problem, of course, is what constitutes "objectionable." Some things that might be in a tatoo would certainly be considered to be objectionable by everyone, but other things might not be. Good luck!

rainmaker ... and just because I'm feeling puck-ish, I'll point out that 'tattoos' should be spelled with three 't's, not two. TaTToos. Furthermore, in case anyone cares, 'tabus' is spelled with one 'b' and a 'u' instead of an 'oo'. No clue why.
shont I most certainly am sorry for the incorrect spelling. You would expect better from an edudator of our youth. shont

brandan89 Louisiana, it is up the the school, if they dont want the players tatoo showing they make them cover it up or they do not play. But we dont have to do anything about it.
PS2Man Someone from Ohio correct me if I am wrong. Is it not true that in Ohio it was against the rules to have tattoos showing? Or was that just the school Lebron James went to?

bebanovich This post may make me seem much younger than I really am but I would rather see a tattoo than a giant patch on a player. My opinion would definitely change if it were a tattoo that might insight some kind of melee like a giant XIV on someone's neck or something. I have seen an official or 2 in our league with visible tats, but I always keep mine covered during games.
lrpalmer3 Visiting team last night had an American Flag patch on the back of their uniforms where names usually are. Is this legal? I'm in Ohio.

Louis XIV..."Let them eat cake".....storm the Bastille....off with their heads.....thwunk!!... Don't ya know nuthin'? Tsk, tsk, tsk..... I made that up. I don't have a freaking clue either.
rainmaker Originally posted by Jurassic Referee I made that up. I don't have a freaking clue either. Well, obviously. It was Louis XVI that brought on the French Revolution!

It was Louis XVI that brought on the French Revolution! Then why did the player have XIV on his neck instead of XVI? Did his tattoo artist have dyslexia? Lah me!

Maybe he wasn't a History major at Tattoo University.
