Little Birdman fan Gianni Zandri is next level with his tattoo detail

Little Birdman fan

Little Birdman fan boy Gianni Zandri is so detailed in his resemblance to the real Birdman — Miami Heat forward Chris Andersen — that it’s really incredible.

Little Birdman has received attention going back to last year when he showed up to Heat games sporting a mohawk. At the time he resembled Birdman, but he didn’t exactly have the full look down.

It wasn’t until later that his dad started taking him to an artist before games so he could have Birdman’s tattoos colored onto his body. According to the New Times, the process took 4.5 hours and was done the first time so Gianni could get a picture with his favorite player.

Little Birdman blew up during Game 6 of the Finals last year when Shaq invited him onto the court and took a picture with him. Soon after LeBron James’ mother Gloria met him and had him take a picture with LeBron. He was even invited into the locker room last year to hold the Larry O’Brien Trophy!

What’s so impressive is Gianni’s attention to detail with the tattoos; as he’s gotten more into it, he’s increased the amount of tattoos he has drawn on his body.

The picture below is from last year’s Finals:

That’s a couple extra hours of work right there to fill in all that space. But it’s all worth it when you get a picture with the guy you idolize as Gianni did last year:

So why does Gianni’s dad go all-out like this for his son? He lost his father and realized his time with his son is precious, so he wants to make sure they enjoy it to the fullest. They certainly know how to take things to the next level.
