Ja Morant just ensured he’ll take the Mamba Mentality wherever he goes forever now … ’cause the NBA superstar just got a massive new back tattoo, featuring two Kobe Bryant tributes.
The Memphis Grizzlies point guard hit up Andres Ortega and his Onder Ink team to get the new tats … and on Saturday, the artist flew to Miami to put the work down.
Ortega tells TMZ Sports … Morant sat for 10 hours total — while he and his team placed artwork all over the basketball player’s back and torso.
The pieces came out great … and there’s now nods to the 23-year-old’s life and hoops career all over his body.
On his back, Morant got the logos of his high school, college and NBA teams … as well as his Nike logo and his jersey No. 12. He also got four aces, some dice, and the words “Life’s a gamble.”
In the Kobe portion of the ink, he got the Lakers legend’s famous logo — as well as his old No. 24 jersey number.
On his chest and stomach, Morant got his birth year, an eye, some doves, some crosses and a 100 emoji.
Ortega says Morant was chill and cool throughout the whole process … and afterward, Morant was so thrilled with the pieces — he signed some autographs while flashing a huge grin.
