CeeDee Lamb is sporting a new look this offseason and it’s impressive.
The Cowboys wide receiver teamed up with Andres Ortega at Onder Ink to design a full-back tattoo in black and gray realism.
Ortega told TMZ Sports that it took roughly eight hours to complete for the two-time Pro Bowler and at times, his team of four would be working on the piece simultaneously.

The extensive piece can be broken down into sections.
On his right shoulder blade, is a portrait of the late Kobe Bryant chewing on his jersey, alongside a black mamba with its tongue out. It reads, “My Story Isn’t Over.”
On his left shoulder blade, there’s a jaguar baring its teeth in an aggressive stance.
Below the big cat is a Spartan warrior next to an Interstate 45 sign, representing the major highway located entirely in the state of Texas that cuts through Dallas.
In between at the center of everything is a crucifix.
Fans across social media were awestruck, not only at the precision and beauty the tattoo and its meaning hold, but also at the sheer cost and how Lamb managed to lay still under those needles for so long.
No way he was awake for this https://t.co/qbo2O4fNaR
