Jaguars Fan is Human Autograph Book: Jacksonville Jaguars fan Kim Nored, 29, has gotten the signatures of numerous players, coach Jack Del Rio and mascot Jaxson De Ville tattooed on her upper arms. Players forever memorialized in flesh include Tony Boselli, Maurice Jones-Drew, David Garrard, Josh Scobee, Tyson Alualu, Rashean Mathis, Marcedes Lewis, Reggie Nelson, Ernest Wilford, Atiyyah Ellison, Austen Lane and Thomas Williams. "It breaks my heart that they're not on the team anymore," she said of the final four players. "But it doesn't bother me that I got the tattoos."
So is the artist guilty of forgery? Or just of violating all laws of good taste and elegance.

Some folks are tattoo artists; others are muralists. It's just a question of scale.

I think it is great, and very original. I think the weird part is the players who reacted negatively to this. I'd react more like Lane.

I don't think it's much of a leap for a player to think, "Today, you're having my autograph tattooed on your arm. Tomorrow, you're outside my house going through my garbage."
Why open the door?

So will she be down with the Los Angeles Jaguars in 2012? Relocate with the team?

Gosh, what a mess that is. Different strokes for different folks.
