The Game has been known to get a little political on his social media pages. The Los Angeles rapper speaks out periodically on issues affecting the black community and other situations near and dear to him. One of the causes he has championed in the past has been seeking justice for the murder of Trayvon Martin. Back in 2013, the recording artist first showed us his new ink of Nate Dogg and Trayvon on his legs, taking up a lot of real estate on his body. While he hasn't exactly flaunted the pieces, he made sure to show off his Trayvon tat on Instagram earlier today, keeping his memory alive with every step he takes.

Trayvon Martin was fatally shot by George Zimmerman in 2012 and his legacy has lived on in a major way since then. Game cannot be the only person with a Trayvon tattoo but he's making sure to keep his face fresh in everybody's mind, rocking his hoodie tightly over his head. A glimpse of his Nate Dogg tattoo can be seen as well but the angle of the shot really exposes the rapper's Trayvon ink.

When he got the tattoos, he marked how important it was for his life to be an extension of others, noting that with him, it would always be an homage to somebody. Through his tattoos, Game is keeping Trayvon's memory alive and that's absolutely respectable.
