What are some of LeBron's other tattoos?
Some of LeBron James' tattoos are visible to the fans who watch him play while others aren't quite as easy to spot.
One of his tattoos that isn't easily visible is the monicker "Chosen 1." The nickname that was given to him when he was still playing high school basketball. This particular tat is located on his upper back.
Aside from that tattoo, LeBron also has another one of his well-known nicknames, "King James," tattooed on his skin.
Aside from tattoos of his different monickers, LeBron also has tats for each of his children. He has one for Bronny James, who is now his teammate on the LA Lakers, one for his son Bryce who is still in high school, and one for his daughter Zhuri.
Aside from having tats for each of his children, LeBron also has one for his mother Gloria located on his right bicep.
He also pays tribute to his roots through his tats through the "330" tattoo on his arm which is the area code of his hometown, Akron, Ohio. He also has "Akron" inked on his right shoulder.
Another one of LeBron's interesting tats is the one he had made as a tribute to the late Kobe Bryant. He has a tat of the phrase 'Mamba 4 life' which is written below an illustration of a black mamba snake coiled around the numbers 24 and 8.
