Of course he does… I don’t have any tattoos and even I can tell that’s fake. First of all, it’s too damn shiny, and on top of that, it looks like it was done in magic marker.  Plus, if it were real, and based on what little I know of A’s pitcher Dallas Braden, Rollie Fingers would be naked, and the tattoo would be 10 times as large and on Braden’s back. But the real proof that the ink isn’t legit is that, as Big League Stew points out, the pair were filming a commercial together this past Thursday, suggesting the temporary tattoo was part of the commercial’s guaranteed-to-be-hilarious storyline. And if you’re wondering, yes I am going to steal this design and have it inked on my inner thigh…right next to my tattoo of a bare-chested Gene Tenace battling a Siberian tiger to the death.

The photo was shared on the A’s Facebook page, and they say Braden got the tattoo after doing a commercial shoot with Rollie.

A's pitcher gets unique tattoo of Rollie Fingers

Yes, you are seeing that correctly. That is Hall of Fame pitcher Rollie Fingers in all of his mustachioed glory, riding a dolphin in front of a rainbow, engraved in ink on Oakland A’s pitcher Dallas Braden’s left upper arm. Okay, okay, I have serious doubts this is real. For one, its gleam in light reminds me of those temporary tattoos kids can get at Chuck E. Cheese...

Dallas Braden Tattoo Features Rollie Fingers Riding Dolphin, But Is It Real? (Photo)

Tattoos last a lifetime, but the permanence hasn't kept ink from going through its share of fads. In the 1990s it seemed like everybody got thorns or barbed wire inked on their upper arms. In the early 2000s, the tat du jour was a tribal design -- if you were a former heavyweight champ, maybe you even put one on your face. Fortunately, Dallas Braden isn't one to follow the...

oldtimefamilybaseball: Apparently the way you do it in the 209 is by tattooing Rollie Fingers riding a dolphin on a rainbow: Sadly, this looks like it’s has been done for an upcoming Athletics commercial and not ink that will mark Braden’s body for the rest of his life. If I had to choose, I’d have to go with Eddie Murray riding a unicorn over a gorgeous sunset. With Ken...
