This Yanks tattoo would fall in the "Best" category. It would also fall in the "Oh My God, What Have You Done To Your Back?" category.

JR Smith Is A Yankees Fan

Notorious basketball player J.R. Smith is clearly a big Yankees fan. For a second, I also thought he was the world's biggest Nick Swisher fan. (But he's actually just a fan of swishing the ball.)

Back For More

Now that the back's full, does he put Jeter and Rivera on his ass or do they go on his stomach? This man has some big decisions ahead of him.

This would be ironic if Yankee Stadium burned down. Just sayin'.
