Dak Prescott’s Tattoo took 11 Hours To Get Complete. QB Said, “I Did All This In One Sitting.” Take A Look What Other Celebs Have To Say About It.
Dak Prescott, the quarterback for the Dallas Cowboys, was sedated for nearly half a day at one point over the offseason, but it wasn’t for any sort of treatment. It was to get him through a lengthy tattoo session.
The Cowboys quarterback is under a lot of pressure to guide his club to a successful postseason run this year. It must be stressful to be under so much strain. Fortunately, he managed to get at least 11 hours of rather sound sleep while receiving the elaborate new ink this past spring.

Prescott’s life and personal journey are represented in the artwork, which spans nearly the full length of his leg. There is a black mamba for Kobe Bryant, Muhammad Ali appears, the Jordan Jumpman emblem is woven in, and there are references to the quarterback’s family.
I would have anticipated that this kind of behavior would be associated with frequent visits to the tattoo parlor. Dak used a Ramones song as inspiration and requested sedatives because he wanted to pull the band-aid off and finish the task all at once.

“I did all this in one sitting,” Fort Worth Star-Telegram was informed by Prescott. “10 plus one day and the next day I went for a like two more hours. They came over on a Friday, ran over all the ideas, worked on them and printed them and came back the next day and laid them on my leg.”
Prescott reportedly told Cowboys head coach Mike McCarthy about his tricks for acquiring ink.
”I was like ‘whoa, what the … happen to your leg’,” McCarthy said. “So he shows it to me. I’m like ‘Jesus Christ, how long did that take? You’ve been doing it all week. He said, no, I did it all at one time.’ He showed me a video of it and like ‘Oh, my God.’”
Jerry Jones was shocked by how long Prescott was under anesthesia.
He must have forgotten to tell Jerry Jones, the man who signs his salary.
Only when a reporter snitched on Prescott during training camp did Jones learn how long his franchise’s star player had been out.
“I certainly didn’t know he was under for 10 hours,” Jones commented after learning this piece of knowledge. “Just so you’re clear, I had no idea about tattoos. I better get up to date on it. I had no idea that required that kind of sedation of any tattoo. It further explains to me why I don’t have a tattoo.”

Jones, who — you might be shocked to hear this — is not a tattooed man, noted that what Prescott went through is yet another reason why he doesn’t have any tattoos of his own.
“I don’t have a comment,” Jones said. “My comment is it explains to me why I don’t do tattoos.”
It doesn’t seem optimal to have your quarterback, for whom you pay $40 million, be sedated for ten hours or more each time so that he can have a tattoo.

absolutely not “less than ideal.” Most likely not at all desirable.
Prescott already faces a lot of strain, and by choosing this path and without informing Jones beforehand, he may have unintentionally increased that pressure.
Ah well. All of this will be history if he has a strong enough season and finally pushes the Cowboys across the hump.
If not, it’s safe to say that none of us would like to be Dak Prescott in that scenario.
