Kobe Bryant's sister gets tattoo to honor Lakers legend, daughter Gianna

Kobe Bryant's sister Sharia Washington paid tribute to the late basketball legend and his daughter Gianna with a new tattoo.

Sharia shared a photo of her freshly-inked shoulder on Instagram. The tattoo featured Kobe and Gigi's jersey numbers, 2 and 24, surrounded by a snake in the shape of an infinity symbol in reference to Kobe's "Black Mamba" nickname.

In her caption, Sharia thanked her tattoo artist Peter Barrios for the amazing ink.

Vanessa, Kobe's wife, also shared Sharia's photo and said. "My sister-in-law got this cool tattoo to honor #GigiBryant and #Kobe (heart emoji.) 2~24 forever. Love you @shariawash."

Earlier, NBA stars LeBron James and Anthony Davis also got inked in honor of Bryant, who won five championships and played 20 seasons for the Lakers.

On January 26, Kobe, one of NBA's greatest players, and his daughter Gigi were killed in a helicopter crash in California along with seven other victims on board. He was 41. —Kaela Malig/MGP, GMA News
