Rick Ross shows his dedication to the Heat with a face tattoo

The Miami Heat may no longer be the NBA's marquee franchise, but that doesn't affect the allegiance of one of its biggest fans, rapper Rick Ross, who recently decided to get the team's logo tattooed onto his face.

The Miami Heat may no longer be the NBA's marquee franchise, but that doesn't affect the allegiance of one of its biggest fans, rapper Rick Ross, who recently decided to get the team's logo tattooed onto his face.

Rozay stopped by the Unroyal Ink tattoo shop in Farmingdale, N.J., to make his love for his hometown team permanent with a flaming hoop logo above his right eye.

Ross said at the beginning of the season that he placed a $100,000 bet on the Heat finishing with a better record than LeBron James' new team, the Cleveland Cavaliers. The Cavs are currently 19-16, while the Heat sit five games below .500 at 15-20.
