Worst Sports Tattoos — Kobe Bryant Face Tattoo

Los Angeles Lakers' star Kobe Bryant seems like a ponderous guy. Like many NBA players, he is probably constantly thinking of different ways to take it to the hole (rim shot).

What he's probably thinking about in this bad Kobe Bryant tattoo: 'What's up with making me look like Gollum, bro?'

Bryant's likeness has been shaded just fine, but something about the nose, cheekbones and eyes make it look like he's been using Gary Busey's line of cosmetics.

This is a teachable moment in tattoo placement. Never trust an artist to do a quality ink job when the tattoo's location is someplace you can't see directly. It's pretty tough to look at your calf head-on, which can make that head on your calf pretty tough to look at.
