Why Doesn't NBA 2K Have Tattoos Anymore?
Hey! The removal of tattoos from some versions of NBA 2K was due to licensing issues with tattoo artists and their artwork. They had to temporarily take them out to avoid legal complications. Hopefully, they bring them back soon!

It's all about legal stuff, man. They got into some trouble with tattoo artists claiming ownership rights, so 2K pulled the tats. Fingers crossed they'll figure it out!
No tattoos? Blame the lawyers!
As someone who's been playing since the early days, it's been a bummer to lose tattoos. But it's all about copyright issues and 2K covering their bases. Miss the ink, though!
