Steph Curry tattooed his autograph on someone's leg because why not
It looks like Steph Curry has run out of things to autograph.
On Tuesday, an Instagram video showed the Golden State Warriors star tattooing his autograph onto someone’s leg. And he did a pretty good job! Then again, what else would you expect from Steph Curry? He was a little tentative, but since he’s permanently needling ink into someone’s skin, that’s to be expected.

Obviously there’s more to the story than someone not being able to find a pen and deciding that a leg tattoo was an equivalent alternative to a traditional autograph. The video was posted by Nino Lapid, a tattoo artist at Zebra Piercing & Tattoo Parlour in Walnut Creek, California, and it’s his leg Curry was tattooing. According to TMZ, Lapid is Curry’s personal tattoo artist. Curry was inking his autograph on Lapid’s leg as a birthday present.

If this basketball thing doesn’t work out for Curry, he might be able to make it as a tattoo artist — Lapid himself gave Curry an open invitation. Presumably, Curry would have to learn to ink more than just his autograph. But then again, maybe not! If Curry offered autograph tattoos that he does himself, he might be busy for years.
