The Ball’s tattoo artist reveals LaMelo’s new chest piece.
LaMelo Ball is sporting some new ink these days – a massive chest tattoo that spans from shoulder-to-shoulder.
LaMelo, who previously had “Fear” and “God” tatted on his wrists, got his latest tattoo from Herschell Carrasco (@rockrollg), the same dude who covered up Lonzo’s BBB logo with a pair dice, and inked some tiger eyes on LiAngelo’s bicep.
As seen in the photo posted by @rockrollg, LaMelo’s latest tattoo includes his jersey number, 1, along with some wings, a halo and a few stars for good measure.
LaMelo, 17, will be heading to either Australia or China to play basketball next season because he definitely won’t be eligible to play in college.
At the “Big Baller Brand All-American Game” a few weeks back, LaVar Ball explained (H/T USA Today):
“I’m going to let you know the plan now, so everyone can just stop. In college, I already knew what they were about to do. ‘We’re going to investigate, we’re not going to let him play until we let him play, LaVar. We’re not going to let you do all that big-mouth talking and then we’re going to hold him back and a whole year go by.’ The G League: I’m not going to let no 28, 29-year-old dudes tee f on him. And try to make a name for himself, so he’s definitely going overseas … Either Australia or China. One the two.”
