Los Angeles Lakers superstar LeBron James has nearly his entire body covered in ink. His tattoo artist, Gangatattoo on Instagram, has certainly had his work cut out for him over these years. Now, The King decided to return the favor and and try his hand at giving Gangatattoo a royal design of his own.

Watch the clip of James channeling his artistic side below, via Bleacher Report:

Gangatattoo revealed that LeBron James just got a new tattoo on his right leg and the 4-time NBA champ decided to get in on the action himself and ink a simple one for his tattoo artist.

James has a ton of time on his hands, as he continues to recover from a high ankle sprain that he suffered over a week ago. The 17-time NBA All-Star is still expected to be out for 3 to 5 weeks. His injury comes at an inopportune time for the defending NBA champs, as his partner-in-Lakers-crime Anthony Davis is also out with a calf injury.

The Lakers are exercising caution with Davis' injury, given the uncertainty surrounding calf strains. Los Angeles would certainly want to make sure that their two superstars are fully healthy as they get ready for their title defense come playoff time.

In the meantime, Dennis Schroder, Montrezl Harrell, and Kyle Kuzma will need to carry the load for the Purple and Gold as their two leaders recover from their respective injuries. The Lakers also recently reloaded with the signing of former All-Star big man Andre Drummond, who was bought out of his contract for the Cleveland Cavaliers.

As for LeBron James, he could very well just continue improving his tattooing skills and get into some more complicated designs.
