Former NBA star Dennis Rodman has once again made headlines with his latest tattoo. The basketball legend recently got a portrait of his girlfriend's face inked on his cheek, taking the saying “tattoo my name so I know it's real” to a whole new level. Rodman visited tattoo artist Van Johnson, known for his work on ‘Black Ink Crew,' who confirmed that the tattoo is “really real” and took over an hour to complete, according to TMZ.

In a video shared on social media, Dennis Rodman can be seen shortly after getting the tattoo, mentioning something about getting a drink. While some fans have expressed their disapproval in the comments, stating that he should have been dissuaded from getting the tattoo, it's unlikely that Rodman, known for his expressive personality and extensive tattoo collection, is bothered by a few negative remarks.
