16YO Bryce James Follows Carlos Alcaraz, Bronny and His Father LeBron, as He Inks New History

Bryce James has followed in the footsteps of his father and elder brother in more ways than one. Like LeBron and Bronny, Bryce has decided to pursue basketball as a career. Moreover, Bryce has taken cues from LeBron and Bronny by getting inked. Bryce got his first tattoo after turning sixteen in June 2023. Both Bronny and LeBron have visited the same tattoo artist at the Ganga Tattoo shop in Los Angeles for their tattoos.

This might be considered a James family tradition, as LeBron accompanied Bronny to get tattooed after his 18th birthday. Bronny had “999” tattooed on his neck. Recently, Bryce revealed that he has got another tattoo, this time on his left arm, by posting a story on his Instagram handle. Although Bryce has not disclosed the exact appearance of the tattoo, he provided a fleeting glimpse of it during a TikTok stream. On the stream, Bryce can be observed with a tattoo resembling a stop-clock.

Bryce’s post about getting inked at the Ganga Tattoo shop has increased awareness around the niche artist, who has celebrity clients like Drake, Post Malone, Chris Brown and tennis sensation, Carlos Alcaraz. The artist inked Alcaraz’s first tattoo, which was a tribute to his grandfather. Alcaraz got “CCC” tattooed on his arm, which means “Cabeza, Corazón y Cojones” or “Head, Heart and B*lls.”

Apart from Alcaraz, LeBron James is also a regular customer at the Ganga Tattoo shop. However, Joaquin Ganga (owner of Ganga Tattoo shop) isn’t the only artist King James has acquired the services of. Over the years, LeBron has got his body inked on several occasions.

LeBron’s love for tattoos

LeBron James has viewed his body like a canvas, as he has a whole host of very meaningful tattoos. LeBron has got the faces of Bronny, Bryce and his mother, Gloria, permanently tattooed on his body. Furthermore, he has also honored Kobe Bryant with a tribute tattoo, featuring the words “Mamba 4 Life.” However, the most famous amongst LeBron’s vast gallery of tattoos is his “Chosen 1” tattoo.

During an interview with GQ Sports, celebrity tattoo artist Bang Bang explained the significance of LeBron’s famous tattoo. He said, “I think there’s something really poetic in embracing the pressure, and I think no one in the history of sports has had the pressure that LeBron James has. He was the chosen one when he was in eighth grade, everybody knew he’d be great, and that’s a really hard thing to live up to.”
