Davis’ tattoo features a snake wrapping around the famous Kobe brand symbol. The snake is obviously a call-back to Bryant’s nickname, the “Blake Mamba.”
All kinds of different gestures, memorials, and tributes have surfaced since the passing of Kobe. While there are many differences in how people are expressing themselves about this tragedy, one thing remains the same: the impact Kobe had on their lives.
Bryant touched a lot of people and the overwhelming outcry of support only serves as evidence to that point.
