Shareef O'Neal is paying tribute to Kobe Bryant with some new ink.

O'Neal, the 20-year-old son of Bryant's former teammate, Shaquille O'Neal, unveiled several tattoos Tuesday on Instagram in honor of the Los Angeles Lakers legend and his daughter, Gianna.

The tattoos include Bryant's logo with the words "Mamba Mentality" written above and Gianna's No. 2 Mamba Academy jersey.

Bryant messaged O'Neal just hours before the tragic helicopter accident that resulted in the deaths of him, Gianna, and seven others on Jan. 26. O'Neal had announced a few days earlier that he was transferring from UCLA.
