A message of “Family First” is inscribed on the leaves across the top of his chest which makes it pretty evident that this is an homage to Monta’s family tree. This tattoo has everything: roots, bark, branches, and leaves. It’s decorated like a Christmas tree with ornaments like a baby’s face, Chinese calligraphy, an angel, and the star of David.

2. Left Arm Tattoo
