Bud Dupree: Behind the Ink
Bud Dupree got his first tattoo at 13 years old. While his mother wasn't happy about it at the time, it ignited a passion for the art form that continues through this day and illustrates what Dupree is passionate about and the community he's proud to represent. The Falcons edge rusher tells his story through his tattoos in the second installment of our "Behind the Ink" series.
