Zion Williamson got a brand new back tattoo that’s going viral on social media, but that wasn’t the only thing getting attention on his body.
On Friday, the 24-year-old New Orleans Pelicans star took to social media to share a few images of the massive tattoo on his back and a video of him getting it done.
While many focused on his tattoo, others couldn’t help but mention that he is still in his 20s and has the chest and stomach of someone in their 40s.
He now joins an exclusive group of players who have gotten large tattoos on their backs. Charlotte Hornets star LaMelo Ball and Cleveland Browns QB Deshaun Watson both got huge pieces on their backs.
These new images of Zion’s weight are quite shocking, as the 2019 No. 1 overall pick reportedly lost more than 25 pounds since December 2023.
Williamson was photographed posing with kids attending his basketball camp, looking noticeably thinner.
It makes you wonder if Zion Williamson has regained the pounds during the 2024-2025 NBA season.
