Vanessa Bryant shows off new 'Mambacita' tattoo in honor of Gianna Bryant

Vanessa Bryant paid homage to Gianna Bryant on Tuesday. Bryant showed off a new "Mambacita" tattoo, which she got in honor of Gianna.

Bryant appears to have gotten at least two tattoos, but the "Mambacita" one was the only one she showed off from Tuesday's session.

Bryant used the hashtags #Gianna and #Gigi in her post. She also used the hashtag #2, possibly referring to the number Gianna wore playing basketball. "Mambacita" was Kobe Bryant's nickname for Gianna.

Gianna Bryant — along with her father Kobe — was killed in a helicopter crash in 2020.

Vanessa Bryant appears to get multiple tattoos

Bryant posted multiple videos on Instagram showing tattoo artist Nikko Hurtado working on tattoos. The "Mambacita" tattoo sits on Bryant's right forearm, but another video shows Hurtado working on Bryant's left arm.

Bryant's daughter, Natalia, also got at least one tattoo. It looks as though she got the word "Muse" on one of her fingers, a nod to Kobe's "Showtime" documentary.

There's another video that shows Hurtado working on Natalia's left wrist, though it's unclear what Natalia got tattooed there.

Hurtado appears to have received some Nike Kobe 6 Proto shoes for his work.
