LeBron James Makes New Tattoo in Honor Kobe Bryant

News24xx.com - LeBron James made a new tattoo in memory of the LA Lakers legend, Kobe Bryant. James visited tattoo artist Vanessa Aurelia on Wednesday night and was inked in the left quad with respect to the iconic NBA, who was killed in a helicopter crash with his 13-year-old daughter Gianna on Sunday.

His design is centered around Bryant's nickname 'Black Mamba' because he has a snake image with what appears to be a flower design underneath. The words below are currently unclear but seem to say 'Mamba 4 Life' or 'Kobe 4 Life' below the chart.
