Justin Miller Will Tattoo His Bum for a Grand

Justin MillerI've always wanted a tattoo, but I've never gotten one because I couldn't make up my mind what it should be. It'd have to be cool, something I'd be proud to show my grandchildren some day.

Apparently that's where Justin Miller (this one, not this one) and I differ. Miller, who has so many tattoos on his arms that Major League Baseball makes him wear long sleeves so he doesn't distract batters, subscribes to a quantity over quality approach:
Tattooed on the newest Marlin's buttocks is the phrase: "I (heart) Billy Koch." Koch, a former reliever who spent time with the Marlins, paid Miller $1,000 plus picked up the $80 tab from Mom's Tattoos in Dunedin before the 2004 season for the advertisement. Koch felt so bad for Miller's wife, Jessica, for "having to see it every day," that he gave Jessica an additional $500.

"It gets some funny remarks, like, 'What is wrong with you?' '' Miller said.
Actually, that's not a funny remark, Justin. That's a very serious question: What is wrong with you? The silver lining, though, is that he only has to explain that one to a select few people -- and I'm guessing his grandkids won't be on that list.
