While some tattoos are the result of a pact between teammates, others follow in the footsteps of seniors on their teams. Alumni bearing Harvard tattoos include Isaiah J. Kacyvenski ’00, a starting linebacker for the Seattle Seahawks, and David Schwartz ’00 who had the Delphic torches emblazoned on his thigh.
