DeShawn Stevenson Is Only a Step Away from Being Mike Tyson

Or if you judge by the amount of ink on his face, he’s two steps ahead. What went from being a trend in sports has become somewhat of an epidemeic — tattoos are popping up on nearly every player in every sport and guys are running out of ways to out-do each other. Not DeShawn Stevenson, however. The Wizards guard elected to remain a step ahead of the curve getting some fresh ink in the offseason, Stephon Marbury style. Check out these pics of DeShawn Stevenson’s new face tattoos. He’s got three on his face and a giant one on the front of his neck. Thanks to Wizards Insider for the heads up on the story and the Washington Times for all the pictures.

It really looks like he and Gilbert Arenas are having a competition — Stevenson gets Abe Lincoln, Arenas gets the Black Mount Rushmore on his leg. I’ll just leave it as saying it’s not my cup of tea. Also, there’s been debate about Stevenson’s Pirates “P” logo which is considered to be a gang sign. Nice DeShawn. The other tats are his son’s name (Londyn), and a Frankenstein looking crack on his forward because he doesn’t crack. Yikes.
