If LaMelo Ball wants to get another tattoo at some point in the future, it appears it will have to be on an area of his body other than his back.

Ball recently got a massive back tattoo. A photo of the ink, which covers his entire back and the back of his arms, went viral on social media Tuesday.

If Ball had all of that work done in one session, he had to have gone the Dak Prescott route.

Ball has appeared in just 58 games over the past two seasons with the Charlotte Hornets because of injuries. The 22-year-old suffered an ankle injury in November and returned in January but was eventually shut down for the season.

The Hornets drafted Ball with the third overall pick in 2020. He has been a productive player with averages of 20.0 points, 7.4 assists and 6.2 rebounds, but staying on the floor has been a major issue. If having the largest back tattoo were a stat, Ball would certainly be leading in that category.
