Aaron Rodgers in a jockstrap?
Alisha Rice is a very talented tattoo artist from Denver, Colorado. Her expertise is in old-school traditional tattoos, and she’s been tattooing since 1992. Seeing her work, a football fan had an idea for a pretty unique Aaron Rodgers ink. The picture of the tattoo of Aaron Rodgers in a jockstrap was uploaded by her on Instagram, along with a short clip. Little did anybody know, this piece would soon gain a lot of attention and become the topic of discussion.
Rice told the Huffington Post, “The idea for the tattoo was a combination of the client wanting a traditional American style male pinup and a Packers tattoo.” Her canvas was a Packers fan. The artist also revealed that the piece was not supposed to be about Rodgers. She picked his jersey because he’s a Packers legend. “Particular jersey was selected because [he] is a football legend and the client admires him as a player and as a person,” said Rice. Maybe this is the reason why the tattoo is missing Rodgers’ iconic beard.
