Colin Kaepernick’s chest tattoo updated with tribal design

Found February 07, 2013 on Larry Brown Sports: Yardbarker Blogger Network
PLAYERS: Colin Kaepernick
TEAMS: San Francisco 49ers

Via Larry Brown Sports:

Colin Kaepernick just started his offseason, and he is not wasting any time adding to his tattoos.

Kaepernick tweeted the photo you see above on Thursday. The San Francisco QB added a tribal design around his pectorals and trapezius. The photo below via tattoo artist Orly Locquiao shows what designs were added:

According to a post by Locquiao on Humble Beginnings Tattoo, Kaepernick was tattooed until 2:30 in the morning. Locquiao says the tattoo represents Kaepernick’s “family, inner strength, spiritual growth, and humility.”

Kaepernick’s tattoos became a source of controversy last season after a Sporting News columnist questioned the quarterback’s ink. Kaepernick’s parents were upset with the writer, and Kaepernick says he started the “Kaepernicking” trend in response because he is proud of his tattoos.

Locquiao also owns Cukui boutique in San Francisco. The clothing store sells designs inspired by Pacific Islander and Chicano cultures. They worked a deal with Kaepernick to sell shirts and sweatshirts inspired by the quarterback’s tattoos. Needless to say, business has been booming ever since.

  • "Proud of his tatoos??????" What-the-hell is there to be proud of? sitting on a couch and letting someone pierce your skin? He is a very good quarterback and took his team to the Superbowl - now THAT is something of which to be very proud. Tatoos, to me, on the other hand, represent immature showmanship and bad judgement. They're simply stupid.

  • Shame on you for being so judgemental! I have tattoos, my husband has tattoos and they symbolize us! If you don't like them that's fine. Don't be so quick to put ppl down for having them. It's not stupid and ppl like you make me ill. I love his tattoos and they represent his heritage, and he does not need your approval what so ever and neither does anyone else that has tattoos. So if I have them, it makes me stupid then so be it. They are for me to enjoy not you or anyone else!!!

  • You're calling Kaepernick ignorant because he has tattoos??? Props to you for teaching your grand kids to respect their bodies, but maybe you should teach them to respect other people and their bodies as well. He is embracing who he is, an excellent example if you ask me. It is, however, a terrible example to be so judgmental of other people based solely on how they look.

  • All this neg. vibe is uncalled for. There are plenty professionals out there that have tatoos and are proud of them. Now he has more than most but it doesn't brand him as an outcast or a bad role model. I attended a class this summer for ed. psy. and it was at the master/phd level and every one of the practing teachers had at least one visible tatoo. Get a grip people. As for respecting their bodies it causes no harm to a body. Booze and drugs are a different story focus you engery there and at risk sex, not a professional with tattos

Alex Smith shoulda been put in 1/2 way through the 1st period....Matter of fact, Harbaugh shoulda been rotating QB's throughout the season....they do it with a majority of other positions...Why not QB??

  • Smith hadn't played for 9 weeks, he couldn't have done as well as Kaepernick did. There are a lot of professionals with tattos. To each his own on the tattos. Just because he likes them doesn't mean you can talk bad of him. Give him a break, its his money and body!

  • You can't argue with the results of Kap during the regular season, but his immaturity and inexperience showed in the SB. Too big of a stage for a punk. Alex would have been a much better choice to start, get them out of the box, & (I agree) THEN rotate. But Jim knows best, right. That's why he has all of the off-season to mourn...

I would never date a woman who smokes and who has multiple piercings and tatoos. Peace and love to all.

  • I like the way you think and that you are not afraid to speak your mind. I also have tattoos (2) and plan to get one more to commemorate something I hold very dear to me - sobriety. One of my tattoos is for a medical condition so that if I am unable to communicate, EMTs will be able to idenfify what is wrong. I see nothing wrong with tattoos. It is a matter of personal choice, and if others want to judge me because I chose to get a tattoo, then I don't think that I want to know them.

Im sure you all have plenty of things you people can find to pick you a part with esp. considering that most of your comments are bashing tatoos. The word is a crazy and ugly place. We are to love one another like God loves us. It always amazes me to hear how we juge people but how upset we get when we get treated that way. As i teach my children. Treat others how you want to be treated. Dont call people names that you dont want to be called. and never bully someone because one day some one could bully you and then you will know how much it hurts to be un wanted.

  • Regardless of the Tattoos, 49ers fans have one hell of a quarterback and he should only be judged by his character and his play on the field. Both seem to be outstanding, he has a bright future. I was very impressed with his performance in the Superbowl when I expected him to crumble. I am a die hard Ravens fan and that kid played his heart out.

  • Tattoos are nothing more than self mutilation and demonstrate a complete lack of self respect. Why does it matter to me? Because I have to look at that crap if I have to look in that person's direction. That's why it's offensive. The attitudes and behavior of professional athletes and the college punks that take up the lust for tattoos are dumbing down common decency and social mores for the kids who are taking all of this in. It is hard to believe that the commissioners of these privately owned sports leagues are allowing this because it is not helping their image. In fact, it just makes all of them look like prison thugs and gang bangers. They don't respect themselves so why should anyone else show respect to them? They would never make it in the corporate world with such blatant disregard for their own bodies.

  • People who try their best to look different especially through mutilating their bodies through tattoos and piercings are really very insecure. It's not just a cry for help...it's a top of the lungs scream, "Help me. I'm insecure with myself and I don't know how to handle it." Think about it...there has to be something really wrong with this guy to want to screw his body up and force anyone who wants to watch the game he happens to be in to look at the garbage on his body. I don't care if his tattoos say that Mary had a little lamb, they are hideous to look at as are ALL tattoos no matter how little or how large. The cute little butterfly makes a woman look like a slut of the first order. Same with a guy who wants some idiotic "ink" on his body even if it is the size of a dime. It makes them look like trash.

He's the one who is paying for it and has to live with it. Whatever he choses to do with his body is HIS business. Do you think it matters to him what your opinions are?! OBVIOUSLY NOT! YOUR ARE OPINIONS AND COMMENTS ARE IRRELEVANT TO HIM. No matter what, he is who he is. He's has the right to express himself in anyway he likes, if you don't like it.. WELL THEN DON'T LOOK. People are so quick to judge others who have tattoos. YOU PEOPLE ******* STUPID. You don't know the story behind them, or what they mean.. or they can simply just have a tattoo JUST BECAUSE THEY CAN! So ******* get over it. Whether they regret it in the future or not. THATS THEiR PROBLEM! NOT YOURS. KAEPERNICK is successful. He's jus not some bum/ low life scum off the streets. His dream was to play for the SF 49ERS since he was a kid, AND HE MADE THAT DREAM COME TRUE. HE WORKED HARD TO BE WHERE HE IS TODAY. SO just because he's tatted he's some kind of loser?! LMFAO . yeah right.. stop hating and let the guy be.

“Colin Kaepernick was shirtless” sounds like a good start to any story. This one ends with the words “…getting a new tattoo.” Apparently while some 49ers fans were drowning their sorrows (and setting trees on fire) after the team’s Super Bowl loss, “Kaep the cutie” was drowning his chest in fresh body ink. Whether you care what the final product looks like or...
