RICHMOND, Va. — A fan at Washington Redskins training camp is getting players’ autographs tattooed onto his arm.

Charlie White of Quinton, Virginia, is asking players to sign his arm with a Sharpie. He then heads to a tattoo parlor and has the signatures made permanent.

The 41-year-old White says his goal is to get all 22 starters.

He saved his wrist for franchise quarterback Robert Griffin III — who obliged after Sunday afternoon’s practice.
