Vanessa Bryant recently revealed new tattoos in honor of her late husband and daughter, Kobe and Gianna Bryant.

In two Instagram posts Wednesday, the former NBA star's widow said the tattoos are messages her loved ones previously shared with her.

"I wanted my boo boo’s @kobebryant sweet message transferred on me," she captioned a video of tattoo artist Nikko Hurtado giving her the ink. She didn't disclose what the message says.
