As one Ball brother tries his best to cover up his tattoos … another is proudly putting his ink on display — ’cause LaMelo Ball just got a MASSIVE chest piece done, and he seems to love it!!
Of course, Lonzo Ball famously covered his Triple Bs a couple weeks ago … but TMZ Sports has learned the same artist that did Zo’s cover-up put new ink on Melo last month too.
Tattoo artist Herchell Carrasco tells us the youngest Ball brother wanted wings and his jersey number on his chest … and says the whole piece took about 4 hours to complete.
We’re told there’s still about an hour of work left to be done … but seems Melo is stoked with the art — ’cause he made sure it was poking through his tank during his workout Thursday!!
Tattoos have been a huge topic in the Ball family — in addition to Zo covering up the BBBs with dice a couple weeks ago … ‘memba when LaVar Ball famously flipped out over LiAngelo Ball‘s ink on their Facebook reality show last year??
No word yet on how Papa Ball feels about Melo’s new tat … but one thing we know for sure — Melo’s got dibs on jersey #1 now for life!!!
