That someone happens to be JR Smith, a shooting guard for the Cleveland Cavaliers. Smith took to social media to show off his fresh tattoo, writing “#LONGLIVENIP” in the caption. Smith had this tattoo done at Ink Studio in New York City and since posting the tattoo, a number of professional basketball players have reacted to his fresh ink.
