This ones for my mother.

After telling my mother about this happening new blog of ours over the weekend she immediately pushed me to do a post about the tattoo on Kobe’s arm… “What is it?? “… “What’s the story behind it??”… So here we go! This has been covered all over the net throughout Kobe’s career…. Here’s an excerpt from a great synopsis about the tattoo’s appeared on his arm following the events of the 2003 rape allegations made and then later dropped (after receiving an undisclosed financial settlement) by a 19 yr old girl while in Eagle, Colorado. The tatt’s are related to his family and his spiritual faith:

The name Vanessa and a Crown to represent the primary importance of his wife, two angel wings and the inscription Psalm XVII to express his faith.
He also have his daughter’s name Natalia Diamante tattooed on his left arm.

So there you have it!
A tribute to his wife and family. GREAT TATTOOS.
