Alright, folks, gather ’round, let me tell you about my latest deep dive into the world of athlete tattoos. I’ve been on this kick, you know? Just totally fascinated by the stories etched onto these guys’ skin. And this time, it was Marcus Stroman‘s ink that caught my eye. This dude’s a walking canvas, I swear. I wanted to know every single detail of his tattoos, and I spent a lot of time finding their stories.
So, I started digging. And man, oh man, this guy’s got more than 50 tattoos. Each one tells a story, a piece of who he is. I began to search for every picture of Marcus Stroman’s tattoos online and started writing down the details of each one, but it was tiring.
- I spent hours browsing social media. I remember seeing a post about him signing with the Yankees, a two-year deal, $37 million, I looked at this and thought, “Wow, that’s a lot of dough!” But then I was back to his tattoos.
- I noticed he’s got this “BElieve in YOUrself” across his chest. Kinda loud, you know? But hey, it’s his body. He’s all about that self-love, I guess. I think it’s a good thing. I jotted down the exact location, the font, the whole nine yards. I was determined to figure this out.
- Then there’s this heartbeat thing, and the word “sMILE.” I had to zoom in real close to see that one. It seems like he wants to be reminded about what’s important in life or something. I actually liked that one, it’s a good reminder for all of us. I made a note of that, too.
- He’s got some stuff dedicated to his kid, Kai Zen. I kept scrolling through pictures, trying to find a clear shot of it. Lots of pics of him and the little guy. I eventually found a good picture, got the details, and wrote them down. It’s clear he loves his son, that’s for sure. I think I spent at least an hour just on this one, cross-referencing different pictures.
I tried to find out about the meaning of each tattoo. I watched interviews, read articles, anything I could get my hands on. I was like a detective, piecing together the puzzle. I was obsessed, I’m telling ya. But that’s how I do things, I go all in. And it’s worth it. It took me days, but I finally did it. I’ve got a whole notebook filled with my findings. It’s not perfect, but it’s a start.
This whole thing was a wild ride, let me tell you. But hey, that’s what I love about this stuff. It’s like uncovering a secret world, right there on someone’s skin. It was quite a long time, but at least, I finally did it. I realized the meaning of those tattoos.
The Result
I finally cracked the code, so to speak. I figured out the story behind each of Marcus Stroman’s tattoos. Well, most of them, anyway. It was a lot of work, but totally worth it. Now, whenever I see him on the field, I see more than just a pitcher. I see a guy with a story to tell, a story written in ink.
