Rob Kardashian gets giant photo of late dad Robert’s face tattooed on his arm in tribute nearly twenty years after death
ROB Kardashian has etched a permanent memory of his late attorney father onto his forearm.
The Keeping Up With The Kardashians star, 33, revealed the impressive tattoo of Robert Kardashian Sr. on the inner side of his left arm in a snap posted to his Instagram page.
It featured a portrait headshot of his father, who passed from cancer in 2003, in the middle of a series of clouds, sunshine and angel wings.
The tribute inking couldn't be missed, spanning from the elbow to the forearm.
Rob, a dad of one, gave thanks to his tattoo artist as he gushed in the caption: "Thank You brother!! @misterctoons 💪💪🙏 💙💙."
His elder sister, Kourtney Kardashian, was quick to comment, posting two prayer Emoji icons as well as a love heart and sparkle characters.
His other sister Khloe uploaded three love heart icons while reality TV star Vas Morgan gushed: "Beautiful ♥️."
Another fan posted: "Wow it looks just like your dad great work."
Dancing With The Stars alum Rob was just 16 when his father passed.
Robert, who gained national recognition as OJ Simpson's friend and defense attorney during the sports star's murder trial in 1995, is father to Robert and Kourtney, as well as Khloe and Kim Kardashian.
Khloe previously told Watch What Happens Live host Andy Cohen of the impact of her father's death on her brother, and said: "I think Rob hit a dark place more so dealing with my dad's death that happened later in life.
“He kind of had no direction, and I feel like he felt lost [at college afterward], and I think that's when he started dealing with my father's passing."
Kim also had her father on her mind recently after she was gifted a real-life hologram of Robert from her husband Kanye West to celebrate her birthday.
Mom of four Kim admitted the famous family watched the emotional video “over and over” again.
As an image of the late Robert is projected, near the tail-end of the clip, the hologram referenced Kim and Robert Jnr and said: "The most beautiful thing that I have witnessed is watching you grow your family.
"You married the most, most, most, most, most genius man in the whole world, Kanye West.
"You are the most, most, most, most amazing mother to your four beautiful children and they are perfect."
