Washington Redskins’ Santana Moss paid tribute to his heritage with new tat tracing Native American roots. It’s a Cherokee mural representing his ancestors, as he had “a lot of Cherokee Indians in the family.” Hit the jump for photos of the pretty dope leg tattoo!

“I’ve been wanting to do another tattoo for like the last 10 years,” Moss explained, mentioning his Miami-based tattoo artist, tattzbyd. “He does great work. So I’ve been like ‘I want him to do something for me, i just don’t know what.’

“And one day it just clicked,” Moss went on. “You know, I’ve heard so much about my mom’s side — she [has] a lot of Cherokee Indians in the family, starting back with my grandmother and her mom and their mom — so I just wanted to do something honoring them. And it came about, and I told him what I wanted — look up some chiefs, look up this and that. And he just put a little mural together for me and he went to work on my leg.”
