New Orleans Pelicans forward Zion Williamson has played in just six games due to injury this season.
As he is working his way back to the court, he has also had so time to get another tattoo.
In a recent video that has surfaced on social media, Williamson received a tattoo on his back of an animated character (via NBA Central).

The two-time All-Star has struggled to stay healthy during his young career.
In parts of six years, the former Duke Blue Devil has played in over 60 games just twice.
He missed the entire 2021-2022 season due to injury.
This is not what the Pelicans were expecting when he was drafted in the first round back in the 2019 NBA Draft.
While the team has had Williamson on the roster, they have not made it past the first round of the playoffs and have finished no higher than eighth in the Western Conference standings.
Luckily, the former National College Player of the Year is still just 24 years of age.
He has plenty of time to get back to full health.
Remember, Philadelphia 76ers MVP center Joel Embiid has had his fair share of injuries and has been able to become one of the faces of the league.
A lot of eyes need to be on Williamson as he continues to scratch and claw towards recovery.
As it stands right now, he is still the present and future of the team.
Perhaps more time spent on the rehab process could do him and the franchise some good.
