In professional sports, especially in the N.B.A., tattoos often serve as more than just a decorative choice. They often tell stories, symbolize experiences, or honor special people. Recently, the legendary N.B.A. player LeBron James and his wife Savannah added a new chapter to their body art saga.
Celebrating their love for their three children, the couple got matching tattoos on their hands, each uniquely designed to honor Bronny, Bryce, and Zhuri James.
Marking Love with Ink
Joining the ranks of the heavily tattooed N.B.A. players, LeBron, and his partner, Savannah, sought the artistic services of renowned tattoo artist Ganga Tattoo. Known for his impressive body art creations, Ganga previously inked 17-year-old Bronny James, marking his initiation into the world of tattoos.
LeBron’s new addition to his body art collection features a crown placed over the initials of his children. On the other hand, Savannah tattooed the initials “B.B.Z.” onto her right hand, mirroring the deep bond she shares with her children. The finished artwork was proudly displayed on their social media accounts.
The Royal Couple and their Basketball Kingdom
Savannah and LeBron James, who got engaged on New Year’s Eve 2011, tied the knot in 2013. Their relationship is often perceived as a symbol of mutual respect and admiration. In an interview with Cleveland Magazine back in 2017, Savannah confessed her profound love for her husband, the Los Angeles Lakers superstar, saying,
“He is truly a king to his queen, if you will. He treats me with so much respect — it’s hard not to love him.”
More than Basketball: Family Time and Shared Joy
LeBron’s affection for his children is more than evident in his professional and personal life. At the Lakers practice facility, he often enjoys sharing the basketball court with his sons, Bronny and Bryce. Recently, LeBron’s emotional reaction while watching his sons play organized basketball in Europe was shared with his followers on social media.

LeBron’s Future with the Lakers
As the couple celebrated their love for their children through their new tattoos, LeBron is set to enter the final year of his contract with the Lakers. While discussions about a new contract are set to happen later in the summer, LeBron’s career in the N.B.A. remains as illustrious as ever.
Since joining the Lakers in 2018, he’s added significant accolades, including four N.B.A. Championships with three different teams, the N.B.A. Finals M.V.P. title four times, and the NBA MVP award four times.
As LeBron and Savannah James added fresh ink to their collection, it became a testament to their love and dedication as parents. Amid a challenging basketball career and inevitable contract negotiations, it’s clear that family is, indeed, over everything for them.
