Freshly completed this winter, Eric Hinske’s full-color and full-coverage tattoo that took two full offseasons to complete is finally done.

And he’s $5,000 poorer, but what a tattoo!

“It’s just traditional Japanese styling tattoo,” he said. “I got a tattoo of a cross on my left arm when my grandfather died and I liked it so then I got one of a dragon on my other arm. I just liked the way it looked. Then I got addicted to it and I couldn’t stop. I had my arms and chest plates done so I just wanted to tie it all together so it looked like 0ne big piece. So I just got this big Japanese warrior and this snake wrapped around with the snake’s mouth open, with wind and clouds and stuff. It’s pretty cool.”

The tattoo was done by Living Canvas in Tempe Arizona, and required 18 to 20 sittings that covered 45 hours.

Hinske is currently playing for the Atlanta Braves.
