LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: Dennis Rodman, the former NBA star, has surprised everyone by getting a huge tattoo of his girlfriend Yella Yella on his face. The tattoo, which shows a realistic portrait of the singer and model on his cheek, was done by Van Johnson, a Chicago tattoo artist who appeared on the reality show 'Black Ink Crew: Chicago.'

Rodman revealed the tattoo in a video shared by Johnson on Instagram where Yella Yella can be seen smiling and grabbing his face. He also uploaded a video on his new YouTube channel called "Dennis Rodman Yella Yella", where he said "WHY NOT" to explain his decision. Johnson captioned the video, "So I ain’t do too much today, cooled out at my townhome tattooed a living legends face of his woman on his face, that’s about it…. What y’all do?"

'I actually told him not to do it'

However, Yella Yella told TMZ that she was not in favor of the tattoo and thought Rodman was "crazy" and "a wild boy" for wanting it. Rodman had wanted the tatoo to be even bigger, she revealed. She said she tried to talk him out of it, but he insisted that this was his "last dance with a woman" and that he thanked her for loving him the way he is.

"I actually told him not to do it," Yella Yella said. "I'm like, 'What're you doing!'" Rodman said, "This is my last dance with a woman," dropping in a reference to the 'Last Dance' documentary that highlighted the final season Michael Jordan, Scottie Pippen, and Rodman all played together on the Bulls in 1997-98. "She's very lovely," he continued. "And I thank her for loving me the way I am — and that's why I did it for her."

'It's really me'

Rodman also posted a short video of getting the tattoo on his YouTube Channel named 'Dennis Rodman Yella Yella'. In the video, Yella can be heard exclaiming, "It's really me," as the tattoo is revealed. Johnson also previously confirmed to the outlet that the tattoo was real. He said he found the tattoo "pretty random," but Rodman loves "the hell out that girl." He further said, "He was a champ, he sat through it," Johnson said of Rodman.
