Fan gets the most unusual Michael Jordan tattoo

Michael Jordan tattoos tend to manifest in one of three forms:

1) The Celebratory / Trophy Crying Michael Jordan

2) Flying Michael Jordan

3) Mid-shot Michael Jordan

These are the basic MJ Ink food groups. They are expectable and inevitable, and their hegemony within the MJ tattoo universe make a Jordan tat that surfaced on Instagram Tuesday that much weirder.

The ink was posted to Instagram by Steve Butcher Tattoos (h/t Bulls on Parade's Adam Howes), and it shows the groundwork of a really sick...Michael Jordan baseball tattoo?

I mean, it looks like it's going to be a great tattoo. And the Chicago White Sox / baseball saga of Jordan's career is, indeed, inseparable from his legacy. It's just not the vignette you're expecting to see inked on someone for life.

But hey—live your life, Jordan Baseball Fan Dude. Also: you won't get that Getty watermark tattooed on you, too. You won't.*

Dan is on Twitter. He's just kidding. Please do not get the Getty watermark tattooed on your body for any reason.*
