AceShowbiz - LeBron James has unveiled a new tattoo of the Olympic rings to honor his participation in the 2024 Paris Olympics. The 39-year-old basketball legend competed in the Games four times, winning a bronze medal in 2004 and gold medals in 2008, 2012, and 2024.
James captained Team USA Basketball to its 17th gold victory in Paris, making it an extra special experience in the twilight of his career. Following the team's triumph, tattoo artist Joaquin Ganga of Ganga Tattoo Studio in Los Angeles shared an Instagram video of James getting the new ink on his inner forearm.
Despite his numerous previous tattoos, James remained composed during the session. Among his other notable tattoos is a serpent honoring Kobe Bryant, who died in a helicopter crash in 2020.
Beyond his Olympic achievements, James is preparing for his 22nd NBA season with the Los Angeles Lakers. He will make history by playing alongside his 19-year-old son, Bronny James, becoming the first father-son duo in NBA history.
James' decision to commemorate his Olympic journey with a tattoo reflects the enduring impact the Games have had on his life. As he enters the later stages of his career, this permanent reminder will serve as a testament to his legacy as one of the greatest athletes of all time.
