LeBron James: Tattooed Mannequin

28 October 2009

Tags: lebron james

What's in a tattoo?

First off: it's indelible. That means it's pretty much on there for life.

Which is exactly why LeBron chose many of the ink spot scars - they're direct representations of the things that matter in his.

From family names to the Lion's head. The stars of a general to Akron's area code.

For a behind the scenes look at the body of work that’s, well, on LeBron's body, we sat down with James Hayden, the man behind the Akron Artist Series Air Max LeBron VII. Born, raised and educated in Cleveland, the 34-year-old tattoo artist knows a thing or two about where LeBron's from and why these things mean something to The King.

What’s LeBron's best tattoo?

I think LeBron's best tattoo is the Lion's head. It stands for strengh, power and confidence. Also i love the Glory tattoo on his shoulder.
Long live the King.

Hey LeBron James. Your aunt Mary send this to us. You are good!!! Well your aunt Maryhas no idea I have been researching tattoos and potential artist for the past 5 yrs now. By the way mary and I are sister in laws. So I have had an idea for my first tattoo for 4 yrs. now. But have yet to find who I wanted to tattoo me. I think I might have found my man. Are you ever in Calif.? Well I have never been to Cleveland. It would be so cool to have this whole long awaited for dream kept in the family.

My 15 yr. old nephew has drawn up an idea of what I would like. Paul(steve`s bro.) my husband,is a firefighter for L.A. city. I want something representing the dept. with a cross signifying my faith in Jesus. Like a cross with flames or something?? Are you interested in possibly being my tattoo artist? You can find me on facebook if interested. Knowing you are Mary`s nephew would be like the cherry on the ice cream for me. Thanks Baby xoxox Nancy Medina
