Justin Miller loves tattoos. The Florida Marlins pitcher has so much ink on his body that the “only blank spots left are his right armpit and the space above his outer knees.”
INKED jabs up the story of how far Miller is willing to go with the needling, and how sometimes it can be a real pain in the ass - literally.
Among the artwork covering Miller’s skin is a tattoo proclaiming “I (heart) Billy Koch” - placed right on his posterior. Apparently Miller had lost a bet with his former teammate, so he had the tattoo put on his backside, no if’s, and’s or butt’s about it. But Justin did get something else beside a permanent reminder on his rear:
In exchange, Koch gave Miller $2,000 for his trouble and paid for the tattoo. As word of the bet spread, Koch felt so bad that he gave Miller’s wife $500 as compensation for her pain and humiliation.
Not a bad haul. But when it comes to his can, Miller is now putting the kibosh on adding additional ink to his ass - especially images of mug shots:
Marlins pitcher Scott Olsen, who had been pulled over by Florida police the previous summer and charged with DUI before allegedly being shocked with a taser, approached Miller with a proposition of his own. βHe wants me to get his mug shot tattooed on my ass. I don’t think that’s going to work,β says Miller. βI don’t think my wife wants to see Olsen’s picture there. So we’re not going to go with that.β
That’s probably for the best. It’s bad enough that Miller already has a Koch on his ass.
