Vanessa Bryant and Natalia have unveiled tattoos to honour late husband and father, Kobe Bryant and late daughter and sister, Gianna.
The touching tributes by Vanessa Bryant and Natalia is coming a little over a year ago, since Kobe Bryant and Gianna Bryant tragically passed away, alongside seven others in a helicopter crash in Calabasas, California.
Since the January 26, tragedy, Vanessa Bryant has filed a lawsuit against LA County sheriff’s deputies over alleged gossip and redistributed pictures of the crash, even taking to Instagram to share documentation about the situation.
Bryant also continued Kobe’s philanthropic work, as well as other entertainment endeavours he had in the works. Now, Vanessa Bryant and Natalia Bryant, are honouring the NBA legend and daughter Gianna Bryant in a heartfelt way.
On Tuesday night, Vanessa and Natalia Bryant got an in-house tattoo from a talented artist, Nikko Hurtado, who gave them some heartwarming new pieces of ink to pay homage to Kobe and GiGi.
With a soft chuckle, and five minutes later, Vanessa proudly showed off her new “Mambacita” tattoo on her forearm in tribute to her 13-year-old daughter, Gianna, who coined the nickname after her father. Gianna was an incredible basketball protégée following in her father’s footsteps.
Her eldest daughter Natalia received a couple of tattoos throughout the night, including “Mamba Sheath” on her wrist and “Muse” on her finger, which is also the title of Kobe’s documentary. Vanessa highlighted the tattoo session in a string of videos on her social media.
