Fresh off of dropping 28 points in the Boston Celtics' first game back from All-Star break, Boston forward Jayson Tatum took to Snapchat to show off his new tattoo.
Tatum's tattoo is a large back piece with the words ‘Gods will' written. The tattoo also includes ‘Proverbs 3:5-6 from the Bible.

The bible verse in question goes as follows:
“Trust in the LORD with all thine heart, and lean not unto thine own understanding. In all ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths”
the Celtics All-Star's new tattoo adds to the several he already has. The 21-year-old has tattoos of his high school and college jerseys, a picture of him and his son and a tribute tattoo to his hometown of St. Louis among others.
On the court, the former No. 3 overall pick is enjoying a breakout season for the Celtics. In 50 games this season, Tatum is averaging a career-high 22.4 points, 6.9 rebounds and 2.9 assists per game while shooting 44.3 percent from the field and 38.2 percent from deep.
This season, Tatum was also named an All-Star for the first time in his three-year career.
In their first game after the All-Star break, Tatum nearly eclipsed 30 points and added 11 rebounds while the Celtics as a whole became the first team since 2006 to have four starters score 25 points or more (Tatum, Brown, Hayward and Theis.)
