Derrick Rose showed off his bold new ink after getting two pieces tattooed on his face - including his wife's initials.
The Memphis Grizzlies guard got inked over Memorial Day Weekend as the finished products were shared by California-based artist Jose Guijosa, a.k.a. Killer Tattoos - on Tuesday.
Rose had his wife Alaina A. Anderson's initials 'AAA' running vertically on his cheek, just to the left of his ear.
Another tattoo reading 'Privilege Knowledge' sits farther up on his temple.
Additionally, Guijosa shared pieces Rose had done in other parts of his body. The three-time All-Star had the word 'Khammurrabi' inked on his abdomen and had a tattoo of his mother's name 'Brenda' touched up on the back of his right hand, per Guijosa.
