Detailed drawings, however, are measured in hours and hundreds: it is a tattoo


Detailed drawings, however, are measured in hours and hundreds, sometimes thousands, of dollars. Andrew Capuano, a third-year transfer student and offensive lineman for the Red Raiders, can attest to that. Walking across campus, the six-two, 325-pound Andrew cuts a hulking and intimidating figure, especially when wearing a Carmelo Anthony basketball jersey that exposes many of his eleven tattoos. In all, he’s spent over $2,000 through the years beginning with the first one—his nickname, Cap— across his stomach. Others include a grim reaper figure holding a football, two tribal designs, and, in honor of his Catholic faith, religious symbols such as the Virgin Mary and a crucifix with praying hands.
