It looks like the New Orleans Pelicans star Zion Williamson can’t catch a break from all the roasting and criticism he has had to endure recently. The Pelicans forward was recently criticized by NBA veteran Patrick Beverly for his poor performance against LeBron James’ Lakers.
Soon after that, it was revealed that Zion may not be in his current team after the 2024-25 season as he was not able to meet a certain condition in his current contract. Now, the netizens on social media are roasting the forward for his new tattoo.
Zion Williamson shows off his new tattoo
Tattoos are one of the most popular forms of self-expression, getting oneself inked in any part of the body holds a specific meaning and value for the person getting a tattoo, especially athletes and stars. Many NBA players have a tattoo that represents some special meaning to them. However, the NBA Twitter does not care about that as the Pelicans forward’s latest tattoo reveal is getting roasted online. The official account of NBA Central posted Zion’s new tattoo on X and unlike Celtics star Jayson Tatum’s ’24’ tattoo this one has become a source of jokes.
Zion Williamson got his new tattoo on his chest and the design is very bold. It is a Christian cross with the face of a ferocious roaring gorilla inside it. The tattoo represents the ferocity of Zion on the court which has not been visible lately.
The new ink itself has something off about it – it looked like the tattoo was meant to be centered on his sternum, but it appears to be a few inches off. The fans were quick to spot this difference and troll the Pelicans star.
NBA Twitter reacts to Zion’s body art
NBA Twitter has a hilarious reaction to Zion Williamson’s body art with everyone trying to roast the Pelicans forward for his latest decision. The reveal is not being accepted as one would have expected and has added to the miseries of Zion.

One fan was quick to notice that the tattoo was not positioned correctly and called it out in the comments section with a disappointed image accompanying his comment. Another fan was so disappointed with the body art that he called the tattoo despicable. He commented, “This sh*t is a*s.”
