Monté Robert Morris better known as Monte Morris is an American professional basketball player for the Denver Nuggets of the National Basketball Association (NBA). Monte began playing at the age of four years for the Beecher Buccaneers at the Flint Beecher High School. Later in college, he joined Iowa State Cyclones. Monte shares a very beautiful bond with his mother, Lationa who named her, ‘Man-Man’ as soon as he stepped into this world. Morris has some interesting body inks. Let us see what they are.

1. ‘Basketball’ Tattoo

Tattoo: On Monte’s right bicep there is a basketball tattooed. The tattoo has been inscribed with the effects of blood oozing out of the ball giving it the look of burning basketball. Interestingly, there are lines inked along with the ball that says, ‘It’s in My Blood’.

Meaning: The tattoo is close to Monte’s heart. He said that it is difficult to separate Basketball from Monte and likewise as he is deeply attached to the game, personally as well on the professional front. The love for the game actually lies in his blood and thus, the tattoo is the clear reflection of this bond between Monte Morris and his favorite game i.e. Basketball. He began playing at the mere age of four years and knew that he wanted to grow up and be a Basketball player.

“My mom was a coach when I was young. She coached at my high school, so I was always around basketball when I grew up and kinda just fell in place. Been playing it all my life, since I was four. I mean, that’s all I really grew up around, so I ain’t gonna say … I had a choice, but that’s all I knew. I knew playing. I knew I was going to grow up and be a basketball player.”

2. ‘Roses’ Tattoo

Tattoo: On Monte’s left bicep we can see a tattoo of two red roses along with an inscription that says, ‘Son Of Lationa‘.

Meaning: Roses are the symbol of love and affection. The phrase, ‘Son of Lationa’ is indicated towards his mother, Lationa Morris. Monte shares a beautiful bond with his mother as he is the only child. She has been her (life and basketball) coach since his childhood and he dedicates all his success to his mother.
