What does it take to work security detail for the greatest basketball player of all time? A history in law enforcement, a good knowledge of the lay of the land in Chicago, and, apparently, a willingness to get the man's logo tattooed on your skin.

John Michael Wozniak, who worked security for Michael Jordan at the height of his fame, talks about the life-changing gig in a new interview with Complex. In the piece, he recalls Jordan requesting that members of his security team get the Jumpman permanently inked on their skin.

"We went with Michael to a tattoo place with him in Chicago," Wozniak remembers. "'He said, 'Put them on,' and we all ended up getting [the Jumpman logo] tattooed on our arms."

Jordan Brand will reference Jordan's security team by releasing replicas of the jackets worn by them on Oct. 22.
