Someone said a player had his neck tattoo. So why doesn't Hamilton have his arm tattoos? Has Sony explained this?

I believe this is because every player uses one of a set number of models for their bodies where as their face (which includes their neck), MLB players use specific models.

It is well known that Josh Hamilton regrets having his tattoos and I believe has some sort of arrangement with the Players Association where if his image is being used, his tattoos are not to be depicted.

I do not think it matters if he regrets it or not with tats. I am not sure, but don't think so.

It has to do with what the person before said, where all arms are generic. Faces are individual, including necks, so they can add tats there.

The only reason players have neck tattoos is because they get picked up by the head scans. It has been stated multiple, multiple times that the MLB doesn't allow any other tattoos in the games because that isn't the lasting image they want for their product. Same reason there aren't tattoos in Madden or NCAA. We most likely won't ever see them in video games.

It does explain why he doesn't have tatoos on many of the products with his likeness.

I think specifically for the Show its what i said though, the models. Homer Bailey and Mat Latos of the Reds both have tattoos on their arms but they aren't in the game.

For some reason neck tattoos are in (ie Yadier Molina, Prince Fielder) yet arm tattoos are not (Josh Hamilton, Joel Zumaya, Mat Latos and most glaringly, Ryan Roberts)...

Tattoos also aren't an option in Create-A-Player.
