Indianapolis Colts quarterback Anthony Richardson said he was sedated so that four artists could spend seven hours completing his back tattoo.
Tattoo artist No Pain By Ganga posted the tattoo on Instagram last week (h/t The Athletic's James Boyd):
Richardson talked about the experience of getting the tattoo Monday on the Pat McAfee Show.
"People aren't going to like the fact that I went to sleep, but I've been getting tattoos since was 13, so I did my time in going through pain," Richardson said (8:30 mark.)
The same tattoo artist has also done work on other NFL stars including Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson and Miami Dolphins wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr.
