Butler men’s basketball players’ tattoos depict tigers, jaguars, and scriptures. Each work of art has its own story, tales which are packed with meaning.
Some members of the Butler University men’s basketball team have decided to use such tattoos to express themselves.
Freshman guard Cooper Neese has three tattoos on his arms and chest. Neese has his initials in Old English lettering on his triceps, while his chest tattoo shows the Bible passage John 3:16.
