Whats wrong with this tat? Its just his name in a jersey style.
Ah well, to each their own, but I think it's hella ugly. It's no big deal tho.
what, was 'comodification' the word of the day that gets sent to your e-mail inbox from dictionary.com?
Maybe he just wanted to express his love for being a pro athlete...
or even better, I've seen MANY people get their last names on they back. But considering his is Young, maybe he wanted the V in front to seperate himself.
Remember this? MLB made Justin Miller wear long sleeves when he was pitching because people were saying it was too distracting.

A Major League baseball star has been ordered to cover up his tattoos - after complaints they have been putting off the opposition.
Toronto Blue Jays pitcher Justin Miller will have to wear long sleeves from now on, following suggestions that rival hitters are miscuing their shots because of the distinctive artwork.
More than half of Miller's body is covered in tattoos, many of them in bright colours, although there are no visible designs on the right arm he uses to pitch with.
(Well, apart from the obligatory "love" and "hate" across his knuckles.)
Blue Jays manager Carlos Tosca said: "Umpire supervisor Jim McKean came in the other day and said that someone had complained about Justin's tattoos.
"All they have done is ask that he wear sleeves when he pitches."
Tosca said he was unaware who made the complaint, explaining: "I don't know if it was a team we played, I don't know if it was an MLB official or whatever, but it's no big deal with Justin."
Miller added: "Jim Mckean said it was his recommendation that I wear sleeves. He said it was brought to his attention that it was a distraction. But right now we are just trying to figure out the situation and get an answer."
