Vanessa Bryant is keeping the memories of her late husband, Kobe and daughter, Gianna, alive by inking special messages she received from them on her skin.
On Wednesday, Vanessa shared two videos of her getting tribute tattoos from popular artist Nikko Hurtado on her now-private Instagram page. In the first video which captures Hurtado at work, Vanessa captioned: “I wanted my boo boo’s @kobebryant sweet message transferred on me.”
The famous tattoo artist re-posted the video, thanking Vanessa for the honor with the caption: “Truly honored to give you something to keep with you my friend.”
