Steve Butcher
Lonzo Ball just got the COOLEST accessory to go along with his new Pelicans jersey this year … a sleeve of tattoos of some of America’s greatest heroes — and the ink is INSANELY real.
The New Orleans star hit up Steve Butcher — one of the best photo-realism tattooers in the world — and the guy didn’t disappoint.
Lonzo’s new ink is a tribute to legendary African-American figures — Barack Obama, Malcolm X, Jackie Robinson, Harriet Tubman, Rosa Parks and Martin Luther King Jr. — and all the ink looks like it’s PRINTED on.
The whole piece is capped off with Nipsey Hussle‘s famous motto, “The Marathon Continues,” at the top of his shoulder … and Butcher called it an “honor” to do the work on the point guard.
“Completed this sleeve this week on @zo !” Butcher wrote of the piece … “Was an honor to put these influential people on your arm brother.”
The new art has to be a refreshing feeling for the ex-Laker … remember, he hasn’t had the most success with tats in the past — he just got his famous Big Baller Brand ink covered up a few months ago.
Doesn’t seem that’ll be a problem with these new pieces … ’cause NBA fans all over are already LOVING the new look!!!
