George Jesse Hill Jr. is an American professional basketball player who plays for the Milwaukee Bucks in the NBA. He was selected by the San Antonio Spurs in the 2018 NBA Draft and has represented many big teams since then such as the Indiana Pacers, Sacramento Kings, and the Cleveland Cavaliers. There are many interesting tattoos adorned on his body. Let us take a look at them and explore the meanings behind them.

1. Blessed Tattoo

Tattoo: The word, “Blessed” is tattooed right across Hill’s chest and the lower parts of his pecs are covered in a design of wings. There are two birds tattooed on either side of the word too with halo rings over their heads. The one on the right is blue and the one on the left side is red.

Meaning: Hill got this blessed tattoo along with the birds and wings on his chest because he feels blessed by the Lord for all that he has achieved in his life. He is a religious person and is thankful to the almighty for always being there for him.

2. ‘Cross and Ball’ Tattoo

Tattoo: The left shoulder of the player contains a large tattoo of a cross on it that is piercing a basketball. There is also the name, “Gilbert Edison” tattooed right next to the cross.

Meaning: The tattoo is a tribute tattoo that he got for his great-grandfather, Gilbert Edison. When he had the opportunity to play college basketball, Hill chose to play for the IUPUI so that he could stay near his ailing great-grandfather as they were really close. Gilbert died after a few months and never got to see Hill play basketball at college. Afterward, Hill got this tattoo to honor him.

3. ‘Heart and Desire’ Tattoo

Tattoo: The backside of his left upper arm contains the word, “HEART” tattooed on it and the back of his right one contains the word, “DESIRE” tattooed on it. Both the words are done in Gothic letters.
