NBA Star Jalen Green Gets Giant Tattoo of Girlfriend Draya Michele’s Face on His Back — Fans Say It’s “Too Much, Too Soon”
Rising NBA star Jalen Green is showing the world just how serious he is about his relationship with Draya Michele— by tattooing her face across his back!
The Houston Rockets guard, 23, recently unveiled the massive ink, which features a detailed portrait of Draya’s face. The move has the internet buzzing, with fans split over whether it’s romantic… or a red flag.
A Love That’s Got People Talking
Jalen and Draya have been one of entertainment’s most talked-about couples since going public. Their 19-year age gap— she’s 42, he’s 23 — has kept fans talking nonstop.
While some see them as a stylish, confident power couple, others have raised eyebrows over the relationship’s dynamic, calling it “unbalanced” and even “influential in the wrong ways.”
Now, Jalen’s tattoo has taken that debate to a whole new level.
The Tattoo Reveal
The tattoo was first spotted on Draya Michele’s Instagram Reels, where she appeared behind Jalen while he was getting ready. At first glance, it looked like she was showing off his fresh haircut — but a closer look revealed the real star of the show: her face, tattooed in full detail on his back.
Social media immediately lit up with reactions. One user wrote, “She didn’t post the haircut — she posted the tattoo on purpose!” Another added, “He’s young and in love. We’ve all done something wild for love — just not that wild.”
Draya seemed proud of the ink, smirking in the clip as fans flooded her comments with questions about whether she encouraged the design.
Fans Weigh In
The internet remains divided. Supporters say it’s a bold gesture of devotion, while critics think it’s risky for such a young player early in both his relationship and his NBA career.
“Jalen is 23 and just starting to build his legacy — this is the kind of thing you regret at 28,” one commenter wrote. Another countered, “It’s his body, his love life, and honestly, the tattoo artist did an amazing job.”
Many fans also noted the pattern of younger male athletes dating older women with strong public personalities — and questioned whether Draya might be influencing his decisions more than fans realize.
A Flex or a Warning?
For Draya, the tattoo reveal seems like the ultimate flex. She’s been open about her confidence and her independence, and posting the video almost felt like a subtle way of saying, “I’ve got him — permanently.”
Still, fans are calling the move “a little too much.” Some joked that if the couple ever breaks up, Jalen might have to get creative — perhaps turning the design into a mural or “art piece.”
Love, Ink, and Internet Reactions
Whatever people think, one thing’s clear: Jalen Green and Draya Michele know how to keep their names trending. Whether it’s their age gap, their chemistry, or now this headline-grabbing tattoo — the couple keeps social media buzzing.
And as one fan perfectly summed it up: “When you’re in love, logic goes out the window — and apparently, straight onto your back.”
