Nick Young saved from tattoo near-fail
Nick Young is a lot of things. He’s a shooting guard who averaged 7.3 points per game for the Los Angeles Lakers this past season. He’s a player who likes to celebrate, sometimes a bit too early. And, outside of basketball circles, he’s the fiancé of rapper Iggy Azalea. And thanks to her, Young avoided what would’ve been a highly embarrassing tattoo blunder, because for all the things Nick Young is, a good speller he is not. We’ll let Iggy tell the tale:
Guys, I wanna let you know. Nick cant spell and if it wasnt for the LOVE i have for him. He would have “BORN REBLE” tatted across his back

I came in half way thru his tattoo and noticed “BORN REBEL” looked different to the way i remember it.

I will tweet the picture of his tattoo when i land. He really is lucky i mentioned it to him, I was gonna be petty and not say.

She’s right, Young is definitely lucky she’s around to catch mistakes like this. As for the misspelling of his own nickname in his Twitter handle (“Swaggy P” should have two g’s), he gets a pass on that one: Twitter only supports handles up to 15 characters, and @NickSwaggyPYoung would be 16.
