Dorell Wright discovered the work of tattoo artist Steve Wiebe in 2014, and became the first NBA player to get inked by him.
Unfortunately for the Los Angeles Clippers forward, it didn't take long for other, more high-profile hoopers to covet Wiebe's services.
"I got a rose on my chest and a King Tut on my thigh that I still need to finish," Wright told The Undefeated's Marc J. Spears.
"He got kidnapped by (Kevin Durant) and DeAndre (Jordan) this past summer, so I wasn't able to finish. He just has to finish one more half of the King Tut. I couldn't take the pain no more the first time. I had to tap out."
Wiebe did some work on Durant and Jordan after they won gold in Rio with Team USA.

Wright's hoping to get his King Tut tat completed eventually.
"(Wiebe) is one of those dudes I can wait for. I'm in no rush. You can't really see it either," he added. "He's very talented. When you're talented and you got a few guys using you, everybody wants to use you."
The tattooist has also inked New York Knicks point guard Brandon Jennings and free agent Josh Smith.
