Justin Rohrwasser has Three Percenters tattoo removed

New England Patriots kicker Justin Rohrwasser came under heavy scrutiny immediately after he was drafted by the team because of a tattoo he had on his forearm, and the rookie has now removed the ink.

Rohrwasser recently had the “III” symbol on his left forearm removed, according to TMZ. The symbol represented a groupe called the Three Percenters, which is a collection of who people support gun rights and have been categorized by some as a militia and anti-government, though they dispute those characterizations on their website.

Rohrwasser, who kicked for Marshall and was drafted by the Patriots in the fifth round, apologized for the tattoo and said he was ashamed of it. He said he got it when he was 18 and considered it a symbol of patriotism.
