The story says he used the tattoo to cover up skin cancer scars. Otherwise I''''d agree with you.
At least it wasn''''t big B!

golfing4, Thanks for the link.... But your opinion of the guy??? For covering an ugly scar which gave him the scare of his life??? Seriously? No thanks man.  You have no clue.

I''m not a "tatoo guy" either, but this is one instance where it is not a problem with me.... & I might have done the same thing only using a Storm Logo or Black Hawks Indian Head or something.

I think it's just a cool tattoo.

Most people wouldn't even know it was bowling related...and that's including those in the industry. If he got one that literally said a brand name, then that would be a lot more questionable.

I was just about to say the same thing.  It doesn't look like a bowling company logo.

I understand the gesture, but given that it was skin cancer, isn't placing the tattoo in the same exact location where the cancer had been recently excised kind of dangerous?

Being that skin cancer has a nasty habit or re-appearing, ink placed on the diseased area may cause a flareup of the nasty stuff--I hope not for his sake.

I've crossed paths with Jacob in tournaments and have talked to him some and used to bowl league with his uncle back in the 90's.

Jacob's a stand up guy. For you to imply otherwise is just plain wrong. Keep your judgmental attitude to yourself.

+1 to you Pike.

If your not a bowler you wouldn't know what it was.(many bowlers wouldn't know)

So 95% of the population would think it is a neat start design.

That is an awesome tattoo, I was actually thinking of getting that tattoo also. If you show it to someone who doesn't bowl it just looks like a cool star.

I think he was thinking that he is a grown man in a free country and can tattoo what every he wants where ever he wants. It clearly has personal meaning to him, so I'm not sure where you are finding a problem here. But if you are still against it, I have good news for you, its not on your skin and in all likelihood you will never have to meet him or see the tattoo again.

OK, I have to post on this subject.... because the subject is ME! I am that guy! I am not here to bad mouth anyone or go off on anyone. But I do believe since it is an article about me and what has happen in my life the last 18 months I am in-titled to an opinion!

Mr. Golf guy for me to brand my self with a star that represents loyalty to me and a company that is like family isn't any different then anyone else putting the favorite team one themselves, or have their girlfriends name tattooed on their arm or any other ink that people apply to themselves.... there is always a reason. If you would have read the article completely it explains how Roto Grip has stuck behind me and what I have gone through. I didn't do it to pay them back or to kiss some butt, I did it because I am proud to wear a symbol of a company that treats people like family with respect and always making sure we are doing alright!

Its funny how everyone in here said something about my skin cancer.... but didn't say one thing about the Cavernous Malformation Hemangioma in my brain, which is really the main reason I look at life differently today.

I pray to god that no one ever has to or has to see someone go through this, if so my prayers are with them.

Let me give you one bit of advise..... You should treat everyone you know and DON'T know as if they were family with one day to live...

If you don't well....I am sorry for the people that have to be connected with you!

Sincerely,

Jacob Bedard

al_G thanks for the kind words


Jacob, my prayers are with you and your family. I am so happy to see that you are keeping a good metal outlook through all of this it is really up lifting.

I am friends with the ppl at storm/ RG and if i was in jacobs position i would have done the samething. Without a doubt they are the most standup people you can meet in this industry.
