Ochocinco Says His Facial Tattoos Are Fake

In the immortal words of Johnny Depp in the gangster movie, Donnie Brasco, “It’s a fugazee.” That statement about a questionable wedding ring’s fraudulence from the movie can also apparently be applied to the tattoos adorning Cincinnati Bengal wide receiver Chad Ochocinco’s smiling face. Although Ochocinco has two crosses on his right cheekbone, a map of Florida on his left cheekbone and the letters, “OC,” tattooed on his nose, none of the tattoos are real, according to Ochocinco’s personal Twitter account. “The entire twitt world and media outlets got punked, that was my twitt joke from yesterday, they follow I’ll have fun with it,” Ochocinco wrote. “My grandma would kill me if I had damn facial tatts!!! Fun while it lasted, back to normal, I felt different to.” Ochocinco declined to comment to WLWT-TV on Wednesday night when asked about the tattoos. However, Ochocinco has apparently not pulled a Mike Tyson. Unlike Tyson, Ochocinco’s tattoos are a bunch of fugazees. And the legendary zaniness of Ochocinco continues. Plus, Ochocinco has made some rather colorful remarks on his Twitter page over the past few days.
