LaMelo Ball got inked up ahead of the 2023-24 NBA season … with the Charlotte Hornets star getting three new tattoos, including his LaFrancé clothing line logo, tatted on his neck!
TMZ Sports has learned the NBA All-Star went to his go-to guy RockRollG at Pachuco Tattoo shop in Orange, California around his birthday (August 22) to get some new ink … and we’re told Melo left with three new pieces.
The first one … an “LF” symbol on the left side of his neck, near his ear. LF stands for LaFrancé, Melo’s clothing line.
The 22-year-old launched LaFrancé back in 2020 … before he was drafted with the 3rd overall pick in the NBA Draft.
LaFrancé is also Melo’s middle name.
RockRollG — who also tatted Melo’s rare angel piece back in 2021 — did two more on Melo’s wrists … a “001” in reference to the Netflix show “Stranger Things” and his jersey number. He also got a “Heem” tat in black and red.
Melo — who dealt with an ankle injury that cut short his season in 2023 — recently signed a $260 million extension, and will be ready to roll for his 4th year in Charlotte when the season tips off in October, new tats and all!
