Austin Rivers Breaks Down His Tattoos | GQ

In high school, Houston Rockets point guard Austin Rivers used to listen to Wiz Khalifa to get pumped up before getting a new tattoo. So really, all of his ink is Wiz Khalifa's fault. From the first tattoo he got in the ninth grade to the Jesus Christ tattoo (that may look a little like Johnny Depp in Pirates of the Caribbean) on his arm, the NBA star breaks down all of his ink.
