American auto racing driver Danica Patrick has been creating loud buzz these days when her 'American flag' tattoo on her back was visibly erased (was airbrushed) in her photos for the latest swimsuit edition of Sports Illustrated.
A Sports Illustrated representative defended that the move was not offensive to Danica Patrick because she knew all along that her tattoo was airbrushed for the said feature.
They did not cited the reason though why they have to do it for Danica's tattoo, when in fact, there's nothing wrong with having a tattoo.
Eight years ago, NBA's Hoop Magazine did the same thing for American basketball player Allen Iverson. But unlike Danica Patrick, Iverson had no knowledge of the "airbrush" and considered it as big insult to him.
