Inked: Do you go to the same tattoo artist?

Roberts: When I first started getting tattooed I got tattooed by a couple of different people. I got one in my hometown of Texas, then after that I got a couple in college and there I had been tattooed by a couple of different people, I just randomly went into the shop. Then when I got back from college, when I had I would say maybe four or five tattoos, then I just solely went to one guy for pretty much both sleeves. Then in 2009 I met a guy that I go to now and have been going to him ever since.

Steph: What’s his name?

Roberts: Olmy Rosenstock

Inked: Your tattoos have pretty much made you an icon. What was the deal with giving away tattoo sleeve replicas of your tattoos at one of your games?

Roberts: Yeah they had a promotion that they gave away the tattoo sleeves that actually from a distance could actually pass as a sleeve of tattoos; it’s kind of crazy. They came to me and asked me to do it, and I never thought that it would make me a popular person. I started getting tattooed in high school and even in college, there was always kind of that negative vibe and I guess now the culture is starting to be more okay with it. So it was really cool for me to be able to experience it in a positive way.
