Jalen Brunson will enter the new season with some fresh ink on his forearm after getting tattooed by New York-based artist Keith Hernandez. Brunson is coming off a hand surgery and even had a surprising appearance in WWE during the offseason.
In a post on his official Instagram account, Hernandez shared a couple of photos featuring Brunson getting tattooed inside his studio in Grand Street. It's unclear what the New York Knicks star got on his forearm, but it seems like a scripture of sorts, which would be covered by his shooting sleeve.
Hernandez's Instagram page also posted a reel of Brunson getting a tattoo on the left side of his body. It's unknown if he had it before, but the artist was doing some ink work on it as well. The artist also received a signed shirt from Brunson.

In addition to Jalen Brunson, Keith Hernandez has tattooed many other famous people at his studio in New York. One of his most recent customers was Formula 1 driver Lewis Hamilton, who is one of the most recognizable athletes in the world.
Other personalities who got their ink done by Hernandez include Houston Astros pitcher Lance McCullers Jr., Brooklyn Nets forward Jalen Wilson, SpringHill Company Chief Marketing Officer Paul Rivera and "Shameless" actor Ethan Cutkosky.
Speaking to Lead The Followers, Hernadez discussed a variety of topics, including which was the most fun tattoo he had ever done and what was his favorite subject to tattoo his clients.
"I have a lot of fun with what I do. I guess that’s the best thing of being a tattoo artist, but I do love and enjoy working on portraits," Hernandez said. "Portraits of someone famous, or even if it’s personal, such as a family member or something, just the fact that someone trusts you with something so important is amazing, and you wanna prove to them that they chose you for the right reason."
For those who want to get tattooed by Keith Hernandez, his studio is located on Grand Street in New York City.
Jalen Brunson underwent surgery, appeared in WWE during offseason
Jalen Brunson had an adventure of an offseason that started with heartbreak after the New York Knicks were eliminated by the Indiana Pacers in the playoffs. Brunson suffered a broken left hand and had to undergo surgery. He has fully recovered and is ready to play this upcoming season.
Brunson also made an appearance on WWE SmackDown last June at Madison Square Garden, aiding LA Knight in his match against Logan Paul and Pacers star Tyrese Haliburton. He seemingly injured his left hand during the commotion but was reportedly OK after the segment.
Brunson is coming off the best season of his career and will have Karl-Anthony Towns as his running mate after the Knicks made a move to get him before practice camp.
