Dwyane Wade Gets a Chest Tattoo in Honor of His Home City
Dwyane Wade has a chest tattoo to honor his hometown Miami. The design includes images of his high school, college, and Miami Heat jerseys. The design was originally considered a temple, and is faded to a dull green. The player is planning to add a post-career highlight to the piece.
Wade’s tattoo is a tribute to the city of Miami
Wade’s tattoo is an allusion to his home city. It was completed in six hours and includes street signs. The tattoo also features the names of places that are important to him. His college, Marquette, is featured in the tattoo. He was born in Chicago. In addition, he got the name “James” on his left shoulder in honor of his newborn daughter.
The NBA star started getting tattoos a few years ago. Not long after getting his first one, he decided to get another one. Other tattoos on Wade’s body include his daughter’s name, the logo of his clothing brand, and a motivational saying.
Wade showed off his new tattoo to a reporter, Jesse Hogan, on his Twitter account. The image shows his face and the face of the Sydney Cricket Ground clock. The clock reads “4:08,” which was Hughes’ Test number when he made his debut in February 2009.
Wade’s new tattoo shows his love for his hometown. He is a three-time NBA champion and is revered by Miami Heat fans. He is a three-time MVP and one of the greatest shooting guards in NBA history. He played in the league for sixteen years and retired in 2019.
It was originally considered a temple
NBA superstar Dwayne Wade has an unusual chest tattoo. It contains his high school and college names, as well as a Miami Heat jersey. It also features the image of Wade pointing upwards and the @wayofwade logo. Russell Westbrook, the star point guard for the Houston Rockets, also has a tattoo on his chest. His sons have matching tattoos as well.
It fades to a dull green
The tattoo on Wade’s chest fades from vivid green to dull green as time goes on. It started out as a yellow circle but now fades to a dull green. It was originally designed for him by artist John Ajax. It was originally from the UK but now has reached around the world.
It speeds up metabolism
According to science, getting a chest tattoo increases your metabolism. Getting one of these can help you lose weight and burn off calories faster. Meteor rock tattoos are also known to increase your metabolic rate. The tattoos are not permanent, but they can increase your energy levels and reduce your body fat.
It is prohibited during NBA games
NBA players have a right to show their tattoos, but they can’t do it during games. The league recently reminded Cleveland Cavaliers guard J.R. Smith that his body belonged to the league after he got a Supreme logo tattoo on the back of his right leg last August. Invoking the collective bargaining agreement between the league and the players’ union, the league informed Smith to cover the tattoo or risk a daily fine. Smith and his supporters took to social media to react. Some fans even invoked the plantation metaphor.
Wade had many memorable moments in his NBA career, from his days as an all-star for the Miami Heat to his time with the Chicago Bulls and Cleveland Cavaliers. His chest tattoo is symbolic of some of his greatest accomplishments, including being a 13-time All-Star and a one-time scoring champ. He also has a tattoo on his arm that represents his journey as a basketball player.
While he’s not the only player with a tattoo during an NBA game, many of his colleagues aren’t. While Wade isn’t prone to showing emotion, he cried at Wright’s funeral. The family of the late NBA star saw the pain in his face only twice. One time was after Wright died, when his younger brother was hurt during a football game.
