Personal life:
Justin Tatum and Brandi Cole-Barnes are Tatum’s parents. Tatum’s mother, who was eighteen at the time of Tatum’s birth, was a freshman in college on a volleyball scholarship.
In addition to earning degrees in political science and communications, he finished law school. He also earned a master’s degree in business administration.
Tatum’s son, Jayson Jr. (commonly known as “Deuce”), was born in 2017. In 2019, Tatum purchased a home in Newton, Massachusetts, where he currently resides.
Tatum is the cousin of Tyronn Lue, the head coach of the Los Angeles Clippers and a former NBA player. In addition, he is the godson of Larry Hughes, a former NBA player who teamed up with his father in high school and college.
Tatum, a devoted Christian, credits Jesus with his career and achievements.

However, Jason’s circumstances haven’t been ideal lately off the court. She recently got a new tattoo, and it caught people’s attention because of one small but important detail.
On his Snapchat, Tatum shared a photo of his new tattoo. “God willing” was going to be permanently inscribed on his back.
Although the tattoo was an amazing piece of art, there was one minor problem: the apostrophe was absent, thus it simply stated “God will do,”
which, as many others have pointed out, significantly changes the meaning of the line. Supporters of the tattoo made a variety of remarks on social media, as was to be expected.
The music also incorporates the Bible text “Proverbs 3:5–6”. But without the apostrophe, the line “God wills” loses any sense. It wasn’t big enough to be undetectable.
The tattoo quotes a scripture from Proverbs that reads, “Lean not on your own understanding, but put all your trust in the Lord.” When you acknowledge God in whatever you do, He will direct your path.
Jason hasn’t replied to this error yet, however the tattoo artist will probably fix the ink very away. After making his first All-Star team, the talented small forward began to blossom before our own eyes, becoming a fantastic scorer for the Celtics.

The nice people on Twitter realized that the line was missing an apostrophe after the “d” and quickly called out the mistake made by the Celtics star:
Jayson Tatum’s most recent tattoo depicts his favorite sneaker, the Jordan Brand Jayson Tatum 1.
Tatum has many tattoos on his back in remembrance of his mother, his son Jason Tatum Jr., sometimes referred to as Deuce, and his journey to the NBA. His most recent tattoo is another reminder of his time spent in the league.
In 74 games, Tatum averaged 30.1 points, 8.8 rebounds, and 4.6 assists while shooting 46.6 percent from the field and 35.0 percent from outside the arc. It was his best season in the league. It was during the campaign that Tatum introduced his iconic sneakers.
Tatum, a 25-year-old rookie in this league, will surely get a lot more tattoos in the future to commemorate his career as a
basketball player.
Everything you ought to know about the body art of Jayson Tatum
The legendary NBA player always has a new tattoo to flaunt from his incredible collection when he steps onto the court. Here, we go into great depth about each one’s significance!
As one of the best players in the NBA, Jayson Tatum is the center of attention every time he steps onto the court. In addition to the 24-year-old Boston Celtic’s exceptional athletic ability, fans see an incredible tattoo collection. The St. Louis native began collecting body art after he made the decision to play basketball.
I resolved never to do this again. Jason told NBC Sports, “I always wanted to be like my dad so I always wanted to have tattoos.” But my son was the subject of my second tattoo. Something to pair nicely with this leg was required. Then I found a photo of my mother.
In August 2021, Jason revealed his brand-new tattoo in honor of the late NBA star Kobe Bryant, who died in a helicopter crash in January 2020. Once dubbed “Black Mamba,” Kobe’s tattoo features two black mamba snakes making the number 24, which is Kobe’s jersey number for the Lakers.
Friends, Kobe and Jason regularly received invaluable advice from the hall of fame star for the Lakers. “I remember having a conversation, it might have been after a game, and he was saying, a lot of people won’t understand what you do,” Jason told ABC News. “
What I mean to say is that those who aspire to be exceptionally exceptional and exceptional apply the same mindset to anything they truly want to accomplish,” he said. He told me that the essential question is: “Are you willing to make sacrifices in order to become great?”
Jason has the huge font number 98 engraved on his left knee.
He was born on March 3, 1998, and many people have donated to the tattoo that shows that date.
his previous jersey
Jason wanted a permanent memory of where he started playing basketball, so he got his high school and college jerseys inscribed on his left calf.
The number 22 represents his high school alma mater, Chaminade collegiate Preparatory School, and the Duke 0 jersey represents his collegiate basketball team, the Duke Blue Devils.
St. Louis explosion
The ink on his right thigh features a nuclear explosion with the words “St.” Louis ‘Till the World Blows,” which most likely symbolizes his love and devotion to St. Louis, Missouri, his hometown.

Jason just had a massive tattoo on his back that has the name “Archer” on a street sign and a giant image of a house with the words “U.” City” beneath it. University City is located in Western St. Louis.
Jason made the decision to inscribe “God’s will” in huge font on his upper back as a way to remember his deeply held religious beliefs. He follows Christ fervently. Beneath it, he had inscribed “Proverbs 3:5–6,” a biblical verse that advises us to “Trust in the Lord with all your heart; and lean not on our own understanding.”
Your life will be guided by him if you “acknowledge him in all your ways.”
Jayson Tatum, a member of the Boston Celtics and one of the NBA’s most promising young players, just received a new tattoo. On his Instagram Story, the 22-year-old forward posted a picture of his recently acquired tattoo.
Tatum has already decorated his body with similar artwork, as seen by the big tattoo that reads “God willing” on his back. Fans had already been roasted when they realized the tattoo had a linguistic problem. Now he changed it to say “God’s will” and smeared a new tattoo on the left side of his back.
Tatum grew up in St. Louis, Missouri, and an Archer Avenue street sign is depicted in the body art. There’s another picture of a house beneath the road sign. That might be the home he was raised in.
Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN reports that the superstar forward and the Celtics have agreed to a five-year, $195 million contract extension. It’s possible that the rookie Max extension will cost $200 million.
The Bucks are currently trailing the Celtics in the Eastern Conference rankings with a record of 30–13. While it may seem arbitrary to fire Griffin, it would make more sense if Rivers was on the front office’s radar. We’ll observe Doc’s abilities to lead the club and Giannis Antetokounmpo.
Tayshaun Hightower, the leading scorer for the Tulane Green Wave men’s basketball team in 2019–20, declared his eligibility for the NBA draft on April 18, one year before it ends. Ten days ago,
DeVante Anthony Long died in Stockbridge, Georgia, in an event that is presently being looked at as a homicide.
The Henry County Police Department in Georgia unexpectedly arrested Hightower on Sunday for Long’s murder.
To put it nicely, it’s a surprising realization for a young child who had his sights set on fulfilling his dream of becoming a professional basketball player. According to Della Haseley and Amy Just of the New
Orleans Advocate, he is accused of committing or trying to commit a felony on top of all counts of murder, aggravated assault, battery, and possession of a deadly weapon.
Hightower, a native of Lithonia, was a former player for the Georgia Bulldogs in basketball. Before going to Tulane, he made a significant improvement in his on-court performance during his two seasons as a rotation player in Athens.
This NBA player’s new tattoo has a regretful mistake.

October 14, BOSTON, MA During a game against the Philadelphia 76ers at TD Garden on October 16, 2018, Jayson Tatum, #0, of the Boston Celtics dunks the ball.
The Boston Celtics’ Jayson Tatum is having an incredible season. He was chosen for his first All-Star squad earlier this month. He hasn’t made many mistakes on the court this season, but he could have made one unfortunate mistake off the court.
In the 2017 NBA Draft, Boston selected Tatum with the third overall choice. He is averaging 22.5 points, 7.0 rebounds, and 44.2 percent from the field per game in just his third season.
Earlier this week, Tatum shared a photo of his new tattoo on social media. His tattoo reads “God’s Will.” Fans all around the world saw right away that this wasn’t how his tattoo should have been done.
The tattoo artwork is amazing, but we couldn’t resist but point out the unfortunate mistake. The former Duke great should be able to quickly handle this issue if he so chooses.
It appears that he had this tattoo while on vacation throughout the All-Star break.
Tatum’s performance on the court doesn’t appear to have been impacted by his absence from the court. On Friday night against the Minnesota Timberwolves, he ended with a total of 28 points and 11 rebounds.
The Celtics, who have a 39-16 record, are only 1.5 games behind the second spot in the Eastern Conference.
