Update 3:30 PM E: Chad Ochocinco’s tats are fake. This crossed my mind late last night when he started tweeting about all the Trojan stuff. Then again, this didn’t even seem unrealistic at all when it happened. The tats also looked real (his face even looked a little red). But, yeah, Chad, you punked us all. Probably one of the best Twitter hoaxes of all time, I’ll give you that. From his Twitter profile:

“The entire twitt world and media outlets got punked, that was my twitt joke from yesterday, they follow I’ll have fun with it.”

I was doing a little Twitter surfing when I discovered that one of my favorite NFL players, Chad Johnson Ochocinco, went all Tyson and got a tattoo on his face. Check it out for yourself, from his Twitter profile:

After waiting for Ocho to figure out how to post the image on his profile, here it is…drumroll, please…

What do I think about the tat? Hey, I personally have a bunch of tats, so it’s not a big deal to me. I mean, it’s the state of Florida, but (this might even be more dedicated of a Florida tat than the one on fellow Floridian Marquis Daniels’ back) …it fits Chad — he can pull it off. Now, if Brokeback Mountain bromance partner Carson Palmer got his mug inked up? Yeah, that would be a story. This is just Ocho being Ocho. I certainly wasn’t shocked when I saw him tweet that he was doing it. Not at all.

Update 7:10 PM E: It now looks like it is three tattoos on my man’s face! This is the gift that keeps on giving! from his Twitter profile:

Update 7:30 PM E: Here’s the image of the double crosses on the right side of his face…

Sorry, Shaq, but you are no longer the most entertaining pro athlete on Twitter.
