Legends tributing legends

With Kobe’s original number eight turned on its side to look like an infinity symbol, the tattoo clearly reads as “Kobe forever.” It seems that The Game has been struggling to find peace with Bryant’s passing, as the rapper has been wearing Bryant’s iconic Lakers jerseys at every show since the crash. 

The tattoo was done by Sile Sanda, owner of Dark Ink Gallery in Glasgow. According to Sanda’s caption, the tattoo was done merely hours before The Game performed on stage. The rapper has been posting about Kobe regularly on his Instagram, including his first meeting with Kobe Bryant.
