Joba Chamberlain's life story is tattooed across his arms, over his shoulders, around his wrist and across his chest. Jeff Seidel investigates in the Free Press:
First, the Tigers reliever has a great sense of humor. Chamberlain took the scar on his right elbow from ligament-replacement surgery and turned it into a smiley face.
On his right arm, Chamberlain has a tattoo that says, "Chunk Pride." Chamberlain is a descendant of the Ho-Chunk tribe, the Buffalo Clan. "I'm half Native American," he said.
And he is a thinker — across his chest, he has a tattoo of his father and his son with a statement: "True pleasure takes sacrifice."
And he is religious — across his left arm, Chamberlain has a large tattoo of God's hand and a bible verse from Corinthians. "For we walk by faith," Chamberlain says, "not by sight."
