It’s been over a year since we tragically lost Kobe Bryant, his daughter Gianna, and seven others from a helicopter crash.
Vanessa Bryant and her daughter Natalia Bryant got new tattoos to honor their loved ones. Vanessa added the word “mambacita” on her forearm as a special tribute to Gigi. Gigi earned the nickname through her basketball career, and it’s an ode to her dad’s mantra, “mamba mentality.”
Vanessa has a few tattoos in honor of her late husband and daughter. Last year, she got her entire family’s names on her foot, Kobe (her name), Natalia, Gianna, and Bianka Capri. During another tattoo session with Nikko Hurtado, she got Kobe’s name on her neck and Gigi’s name on her wrist.

In the most recent tattoo session, Natalia got “Muse” on her finger o honor her father. Muse is the name of Kobe’s 2015 documentary. She got another on her wrist, but it’s difficult to tell what it is.
