Our team at SBit has scoured the internet and social media to find sports’ worst tattoos. This 2022 list is what we think are the worst tattoos among athletes. If we have missed someone please let us know in the comments.
1. NFL Player A. J. McCarron

AJ McCaron is a 2/3rd string QB for the Houston Texans. I don’t know how wasted he was when he let someone do this tattoo to him. Honestly, there are just no words.
2. NBA Player Kevin Durant

Honestly, I had no idea Durant had so much ink. It looks like a hot mess puked ink all over his chest.
3. NBA Player D’Angelo Russel

I can’t tell if his tattoo says NOW or 11:00. That font seems to remind me of a tribute to the tv show 24. Maybe that is why he got it, I don’t know.
4. NFL Jets Player Josh Bellamy

Josh Bellamy of the Jets obviously has mo money. Significantly mo then me. But at least I don’t have an ugly neck tattoo.

Here at SBit we have major “kuzmania”. We love this guy. But his tattoos are legit the worst. Is that the monopoly man on his arm?
6. NBA player Carmelo Anthony

I am using the term NBA players loosely here. One day Carmelo is on the league one day he is bitch punching someone and the next he is out of the league. Either way, his tattoos are super awful. Maybe they are a reflection of his playstyle.
7. NBA player Kyrie Irving

Kyrie Irving is a fantastic basketball player. But he is also a flat earther… So to say we weren’t surprised he has some bad tattoos would be an understatement. His is his arm with a “Friends” tattoo. I never knew he was such a fan of the show.
8. NBA Player JR Smith

I am legit concerned about JR Smith’s mental state. This is his back… I don’t know if JR is terrified of clowns or just wants to be a killer clown or something else. Either way, check out this ink.
9. Former Baseball Player Scott Spiezio

This wouldn’t be Sports worst tattoos if we didn’t include Scott Spiezio. Honestly, I just want to know who the girl is…
10. Former NBA Player Jason “White Chocolate” Williams

Jason Williams was known for his flash street style that excited fans and made white people everywhere proud. However, there is one thing Williams should have not done, got that terrible “White Boy” tattoo. I know you are white, but what gives?
11. Former MMA Fighter Melvin Costa

Besides being a neo-nazi and proud to show it Kosta also has one of the most ridiculous tats you will ever see in your life on his stomach. Be sure to look at it closely, it says no joke “I Have a Small Penis”. This picture was in no way tampered with. How stupid is this guy
12. Former NBA Player Deron Williams

Deron Williams was one of my favorite players but his tats were so ridiculous that if he was not so good I would have been forced to give away my jersey. In case you cant tell the big orange blob is a basketball and above and below the tattoo says “Texas Made”. The other picture is off Deron’s “No Guts, No Glory” Tat. Deron has since covered his basketball tattoo with a much sicker tat. Thank goodness for that.
13. Former NBA Player Chris “Birdman” Anderson

You may not know but Chris Anderson recently returned to the NBA after being booted due to drug use. He is a great story on overcoming addiction and really making something out of yourself. However, he has some of the ugliest tattoos in the NBA that I am sure might have been inked when high. Anyways one of the silliest tattoos I have seen is the Spiderman tattoo on his arm. I know that Anderson is the “Birdman” but what does Spiderman have to do with anything. The next tattoo that I really dislike is the princess snowflake found on his elbow. Once again wtf.
14. Former MMA/WWE Brock Lesnar

Brock converted over from professional wrestling to MMA where he defeated Randy Couture for the heavyweight title ages ago. He then fought a real opponent and then went back to WWE because he is a bitch. Or he got popped for roids… Either way. Brock has a terrible brass knuckle wanus looking tattoo that goes up to his neck. Seriously what is that? Who tattoos a giant penis on his chest, I mean the guy has money why not try to change his wiener tat into a crappy normal tat?
15. Former NBA player Stephen Jackson

Stephen Jackson used to play for the Golden State Warriors and is notorious for his brawl in Detroit when he ran up into the stands to beat some guy down. Stephen has also been involved in shooting his gun off outside a strip club. Anyways his tat is of praying hands holding a gun. Great guy…
16. Former NBA player Kenyon Martin

Kenyon Martin has some of the most random and ugly tats I have seen in the NBA. His first noticeable tattoo is the Grim Reaper found on his shoulder. Martin said this about his tat “That’s how I see myself. The reaper, man. I go out and take what I want”. What a dummy. The next ugly wtf tat you will see on Kenyon Martin is the ugly lips found on his neck.
17. Skater Ryan Sheckler

Ryan Sheckler is a skater that is worth more then I will ever have in my life. Well maybe, he might have blown it all on hookers and blow. However, there is one thing I have on Sheckles. I don’t have a huge ugly az tattoo on my back for the rest of my life. What was this kid thinking, that tat is so big? Think about how stretched and gross that will look in 30 years.
18. Former NBA player Mike Bibby

Mike Bibby a long time veteran of the NBA has some of the worst tat’s. There is no real set up needed for his appalling basketball hoop tat. I have no idea what any of these guys are thinking when they get these tats. Seriously it is as if they let their little kid drew a picture and they tatted it.
19. Former NBA player Stephon Marbury

Steph most ridiculous tattoo is the logo of his “Starbury” brand shoes and clothing. You can see the actual logo there on his big head. Anyways the reason this tat made the worst tat list (besides how terrible his tat looks) is the fact that Stephen and Barry’s who carries his special brand of apparel just filed for chapter 11 bankruptcy. So the brand he tatted will soon be completely gone! What a waste. He is now suing Stephen and Barry’s but the terrible tat has been left.
20. NBA Basketball Player – Greg Ostertag (retired)

Greg Ostertag used to play for the Utah Jazz, he is now since retired and most likely gotten even fatter. However, I decided his tat needed to be included on this list. Seriously why did he get a tattoo of Fred Flintstone on his leg?
21. Former NBA player Luke Walton

Besides having some of the greasiest and grossest looking hair in the NBA (minus Fabricio Alberto) Luke has a tattoo that is equally crappy. The tattoo is a tribute to the grateful dead and his brothers. The tat depicts Luke and his brothers dancing around what looks like a fire, holding balls, balls folks, balls..
