20 Challenging Questions

The NBA Tattoo Quiz consists of twenty image-based questions. The goal for you is to guess who the player is by looking at their inks. But to make things a bit more fun, we divided the questions into two categories. (See below).

• Guess the player

You are going to start with a classic game. We show you the pictures of athletes’ tattoos, and you pick the right names.

• Guess the meaning

For the last few questions, you need to identify the meaning behind famous NBA tattoos. This is where the real fans come into play and shine.

A Fun Scoring System

You are going to receive a score on a scale of 0 to 20. The more correct answers you have, the higher your score is (obviously). But the thing is that the results reveal what type of NBA fan you are. Read on for more info on that.

Fun Facts About NBA Tattoos

Players of the National Basketball Association have interesting stories behind some of their tattoos. So, we wanted to share some of them with you. Each question on the quiz includes a ‘Reveal Text,’ offering fun facts and trivia on that particular athlete’s inks.

What Do Your NBA Tattoo Quiz Points Mean?

This is not going to be a casual test. Your correct answers will prove if you are a real NBA fan—or expose you if you are a newbie. Here is what your results mean.

0-5 pints: Newbie

Scoring less than five in the NBA Tattoo Quiz is not a piece of good news. It indicates that you are not following the league avidly. Yes, you do not have to memorize players’ inks to become a real fan. But common, the first ten questions of the test are easy-peasy. So, having five or fewer correct answers is unforgivable.

The good news is that you can retake the quiz and try your luck as many times as you want.

6-10 points:

Guessing at least six NBA players by their tattoos is not that bad. But it does not make you a super-fan. The first few images are of ridiculously famous basketball players. So, such a score is not something to be proud of—unless you are a random dude taking the quiz for fun.

11-15 points:

Any score between eleven and fifteen is safe. It does not mean you are an avid fan. But it keeps you in the competition. TBH, most participants end up scoring as high as fifteen. So, you are going to be in the majority—which is somewhat relieving.

16-18 points:

You are an avid NBA fan. Although it is not the perfect score, having at least sixteen correct answers is a lot. Few people manage to see these numbers on their results. So, you can be proud of your knowledge—or perhaps luck. But we want to know that even such a high score does not make you the perfect national basketball league fan. (Sorry).

19-20 points:

That’s it. You ARE the perfect NBA fan. You would be surprised how rare it is for the participants to score as high as nineteen on the quiz. The fact that you can literarily guess any player by his tattoos is mind-blowing. And it is something you should be proud of. To us, you are an expert-level basketball fanatic.

What is the Point of Taking an NBA Tattoo Quiz?

It is both fun and challenging. The questions are designed to keep you entertained. But the results indicate some serious info about you as a basketball enthusiast. Many take the quiz to prove they are real fans and not a casual viewer. Others just want to enjoy the ride and try their luck.

If this is not your thing, head to our NBA Player Quiz. It is a personality test that matches you to one of the top players in the game. And the good thing is that it is stress-free because there are no right or wrong answers.
