Vikings TE Irv Smith Jr.: My tattoo artist stayed with me for like a month

Irv Smith Jr. has been working out preparing for the upcoming season, but he’s also been keeping busy with other parts of his life.

For instance, Smith Jr. routed Cardinals’ Byron Murphy Jr. in NBA 2K20, which was streamed live on Twitch.

He also has added some tattoos, a feat he was able to accomplish because his tattoo artist had been staying with him.

“He actually stayed with me for like a month,” Smith Jr. told Gabe Henderson of Vikings.com. “We were just getting to it. It was awesome having that opportunity, cause usually I wouldn’t have the time to do that.”

Asked about how he’s holding up amid the coronavirus pandemic, Smith Jr. said it’s been crazy, but you have to try and be positive.

“I get to work out more, just taking care of my body, little things like that,” Smith Jr. told Henderson. “It’s not as smooth, but it’s definitely something we’re all getting used to.”
