- In mid-2025, reports highlighted a major offseason tattoo expansion for Ball, including back/chest work done across multiple sessions by several artists, with social media attention on the new designs and messages like “Rare One” and “God Soldier” appearing in red/black ink [source coverage from 2025 articles].
