On Wednesday (Feb. 26th), Washington revealed her new ink on Instagram that features an all-black tattoo of Kobe Bryant and his 13-year-old daughter’s jersey numbers, 2 and 24. In addition, Washington’s tat was detailed with Bryant’s iconic on-court persona of a black mamba snake in the shape of an infinity symbol.

Five days after all nine passengers involved in the helicopter crashed in late January, Washington and her sister, Shaya Tabb, released their first public statement on behalf of their family about their brother and niece’s deaths. She writes,

“On behalf of our family, we join Vanessa, Natalia, Bianka and Capri in grieving the loss of Kobe and Gianna in such a tragic accident. We are devastated by the loss of our brother, son, our niece and granddaughter, and our hearts go out to all the families who lost their loved ones on Sunday.”

Washington continues,

“Our lives are forever changed.
Thank you for your prayers, the numerous calls, texts, emails and cards. Please visit MambaOnThree.org to support the families affected by Sunday’s tragedy and to honor Kobe and Gianna’s legacy, please visit: MambaSportsFoundation.org
