"Keeping Up With the Kardashian" star Rob Kardashian recently took to Instagram to show fans the latest way he is remembering and honoring his late father, Robert Kardashian.

Topping off the tattoo was an angelic wing from a previous ink on Rob's arm hanging over Robert's head. Altogether, the drawing had a heavenly theme.
The tattoo featured a younger version of Robert's face, even though he appeared to be sporting a few grey hair strands on his head. While adding a caption, Rob thanked the artist who drew the ink for him. He wrote:
"Thank You, brother!! @misterctoons ??? ??."
The heartwarming tribute garnered the attention of several fans and followers who took to the comments section to share their thoughts. One user noted that the piece of art looks just like Robert while another described the tattoo as beautiful, with many others also leaving similar comments.
Robert was an attorney and was best known as OJ Simpson's defense attorney during the actor's 1995 murder trial.
It appears Rob's tattoo was only recently touched up as previous pictures show him with a tattoo depicting the basic outline of his father's face without the heavenly features.
Rob's latest ink comes only a few weeks after his sister Kim Kardashian was given a hologram of their dad by her husband, Kanye West, for her 40th birthday.
The hologram showed Robert wishing Kim a happy birthday while telling her that she looked as beautiful as she did as a child. Before his death, Robert was an attorney and was best known as OJ Simpson's defense attorney during the actor's 1995 murder trial.
Simpson was accused of killing his ex-wife Nicole Brown Simpson, but at the end of the trial, he was acquitted of two counts of murder. In addition to the Simpson trial, Robert was famous for his marriage to Kris Houghton, now popularly known as Kris Jenner.

The pair tied the knot in 1978 and welcomed four kids during their marriage. In 1991, Robert and Kris divorced, and he went on to marry two more times.
On September 30, 2003, Robert passed away after suffering from esophageal cancer. At the time of his death, he was aged 59. Though it's been over 17 years since Robert passed away, he still lives on in the hearts of his kids, and there is no doubt that they will forever honor his legacy.
