New York Islander defenseman Brendan Witt has a few tattoos.Actually, it's probably more than a few.
Witt not only doesn't mind showing them off, but he's also more than willing to talk about them.
When people see his bare, heavily inked arm draped outside the window of his BMW, he says, "They're like, 'Oh, God! Is he a drug dealer?'" Airport inspections are also common. "I have Arabic writing on my arm and sometimes security guys don't know what to make of it," says Witt, 31, a Saskatchewan native who got the first of his 14 tats at 16. "I usually wear long sleeves when I fly -- it's easier getting through security."He also told a couple stories to E.J. Hradek for his ESPN.com blog.
In October, Witt did a shoot with Bruce Bennett of Getty Images, where he showed off some of his body art, including a very cool tattoo that covers almost his entire upper back.
