Sports fans getting tattoos of their heroes is nothing new in today's day and age.
For some however the artwork doesn't live up to their expectations and for others, their heroes don't really enjoy the design. As one fan found out after Mark Hunt humiliated his tattoo of the UFC power hitter.
Luckily for some, they had the help of a genuine tattoo artist in the form of New Zealander Steve Butcher handling the artwork duties.
A self-confessed basketball nut, Butcher had made a name for himself around the world for delivering incredibly lifelike player and celebrity portraits and his latest effort lived up to the hype.
After becoming only the second player in NBA history to finish the season averaging a triple-double, Russell Westbrook became loved worldwide.
