Lonzo Ball showed off his new incredibly detailed tattoo sleeve

When it comes to New Orleans Pelicans point guard Lonzo Ball, his ink has easily evolved more than his basketball game.

He entered the league with a couple tattoos on his wrists that he got in solidarity with his younger brother, LiAngelo, after LaVar Ball’s total meltdown about tattoos.

But you know what they say about tattoos? It’s tough to get just one.

Heading into his third season in the NBA, Lonzo now has full tattoo sleeves on both arms. While his right arm (and the funky dice to cover up the Big Baller Brand logo) was widely mocked online, Lonzo’s tattoo sleeve on his left arm is a work of art.

Over the past couple months, California-based tattoo artist Steve Butcher had worked on an incredible sleeve for the Pelicans guard.

The tattoo featured portraits of Rosa Parks, Jackie Robinson, Malcolm X, Harriet Tubman, Barack Obama and Martin Luther King Jr. in unbelievable detail.

Butcher finished off the tattoo with “The Marathon Continues” written at the top of Lonzo’s arm.

The entire tattoo was just amazing work.
