no KNG_OF_AKRN jordan does not have any ink…that omega is a brand, done with a branding iron. It signifies his membership in Omega Psi Phi Fraternity inc. he pledged while at North carolina. It is a predominantly black fraternity apart of the divine nine. It is not associated with any white greek organizations…Michael Jordan has no tattoos…Lebrons does have some very cool art work on his body tho!

To bad with all that money he still can’t buy any class. Such trashy tats he’s got, no depth or real meaning. I lost respect for KOBE with the first trashy tat but at least he has enough grace and class to realize tats are for insecure men who think some ink means something and then he stopped.

tattoos look ugly because unless you are up close, which you never, you can’t even tell what they are.
He’s going to regret it. 24 years old and already covered. His tastes will change, but his tats are for life.

nice job. i’ve been wondering what his tattoos were of. he’s got some nice work done and like how he’s modified his ink also. ither way ink or no ink Lebrons a beast. however it seems many NBA players are going overboard with their ink. like monta,birdman,josh smith, etc.

[...] In the first game of the 2010 NBA Playoffs, most of you were probably checking out LeBron James’ new kicks – the Nike LeBron VII P.S.. However, if you looked closely enough you might have had noticed something else. The King has got himself a new tattoo! One month ago we reported about his fresh “What we do in life echoes in eternity” ink, but in the last game he sported a new tattoo on his left leg. You may be familiar with his WITNESS “ad” on his right calf. The new one says HISTORY as LBJ has completed his message, which now reads WITNESS HISTORY. That’s a bold statement. Let’s hope we are about to become witnesses one more time. For more information on James’ tattoos click here. [...]
