Kyle Kuzma<\/strong> will now certainly never forget his Univ. of Utah roots … ’cause he just got a mountain range back tat to pay homage to his alma mater — and it is MASSIVE!!!<\/p>\n TMZ Sports<\/strong> has learned … the Washington Wizards <\/strong>new star wanted to get ink to represent his 2014 to 2017 days as a Ute, so he hit up celeb tat artist Herchell L. Carrasco<\/strong>.<\/p>\n We’re told the 26-year-old headed out to Carrasco’s Pachuco Tattoo shop in Orange, Calif. … and sat like a rock for the huge scenery piece.<\/p>\n Carrasco said it all took about six hours … with the mountain range scene ultimately ending up covering 1\/3 of Kuzma’s upper back.<\/p>\n Carrasco says the artwork isn’t of one specific part of Utah … but rather a mixture of mountains in the state — and also represents “power, obstacles and overcoming them.”<\/p>\n Waiting for your permission to load the Instagram Media.<\/p>\n Carrasco added the NBA player might add more to it down the road.<\/p>\n The mountain scene wasn’t the only work Kuz got done this week … he also got a hand tat of the NBA championship trophy he won with the Los Angeles Lakers in 2020.<\/p>\n Carrasco — who’s also done work<\/strong> <\/strong>on <\/strong>LaMelo Ball<\/strong> — says Kuz wanted to make sure he left some room on the hand “to add more trophies” later on.<\/p>\n
