Nick Young's Right Arm Has New Tupac Tattoo, Is No Longer Strictly for Buckets

In late-breaking Swaggy news, the tattoo ban levied on Nick Young's shooting arm appears to have been lifted. 

He's been photographed at the Drew League and out with family this summer, and the pictures show his right arm sporting what appears to be a fresh tattoo of Tupac's face.

Now, if you're familiar with the general governance of Nick Young's bodily adornment, you'll know this is an abrupt about-face from stated policy. 

Maybe this means the right arm is for more than buckets now. Maybe it's for loving and video games and cutting pizzas. There are so many possibilities for the right arm now. 

It should be noted that this newly tattooed right arm has seen an upturn in buckets gotten over the last couple of weeks. Young dropped a patently Swaggy crossover-to-game-winner at the Drew League in late July, foreshadowing a possible return to swagginess in the season to come.

So maybe the arm isn't tainted. Maybe the left-to-right ink imbalance is what caused Young's field-goal percentage to drop to a career-low 36.6 percent last season.

Or maybe Nick Young ran out of room on his left and just really wanted another tat. That's the beauty of Swaggy P, though. You can never really know these things.
