Davis’ tattoo was revealed just a day after his fellow Lakers superstar LeBron James also bared a tattoo as homage to Bryant.
James’ tattoo on his right thigh features a black mamba, roses, Bryant’s jersey numbers 8 and 24 and the words “Mamba 4 Life” underneath,
Both James and Davis had artist Vanessa Aurelia do the tattoos.
Bryant recently died along with his 13-year-old daughter Gianna and seven others in a helicopter crash near Calabasas, California.
