He hit up
Onder Ink’s Andres Ortega a few weeks ago, who flew to New Orleans to give Williamson a tattoo on his chest of a cross with a menacing gorilla etched inside of it. Surprisingly, the tattoo only took one session.
“Unclear what the exact significance of the image is for Williamson — but Ortega tells TMZ Sports it all took about three hours during a session in New Orleans to complete,” writes
TMZ.
The tattoo is off-centered, which seems to be what annoys social media users the most. The critiques even spilled over to the sports pundits, including
Shannon Sharpe, who discussed it with former NBA player Gilbert Arenas on
The Night Cap.
Sharpe comments about the cross being off to the left, but Arenas argues it may have been done intentionally.

“Maybe it’s supposed to be a little over the heart. Maybe that’s the way it was designed. I get the concept that you wanna put Harambe on your chest, but the belly is what stopped me and reminded me of what Stephen A. said, ‘He gets to the free throw line, and his belly gets to bouncing,’” Arenas jokes.
