Dennis Rodman has images of his face and the face of his girlfriend Yella Yella tattooed on his buttocks.
The NBA Hall of Famer, 62, took to Instagram and YouTube on Friday with a series of clips documenting his visit to a tattoo parlor a month after getting his partner’s image tattooed on his face.
“Always By My Side,” Rodman, who played with the Chicago Bulls alongside Michael Jordan and Scottie Pippen, captioned the clip.
“I do one thing and people have never done it before in their lives — I try the activity in my love, my activity of my love — thank you,” the Trenton, New Jersey native said while at the tattoo parlor.
Rodman, who also played with the Detroit Pistons and San Antonio Spurs, said he got a tattoo of “someone who loves me… on my butt.”
The latest: Dennis Rodman, 62, has had images of his face and the face of his girlfriend Yella Yella tattooed on his behind. The NBA Hall of Famer took to Instagram and YouTube on Friday with a series of clips documenting his visit to a tattoo parlor
Yella Yella, a rapper Rodman has been associated with for over a year, said in the clip that she had “no idea” what Rodman would be tattooed with, and said she hoped it would look great.
In the clip, Rodman was seen entering a room in the tattoo parlor wearing a Chicago Bulls brand baseball cap with a shirt emblazoned with his name and multiple images of himself.
He wore black sunglasses and sported a goatee with multiple facial piercings on the late summer night.
Rodman was seen lying on his stomach on a table while an artist tattooed the images of himself and Yella Yella’s face onto his derrière.
“Never thought I’d see Dennis Rodman’s butt, but hey, here we are,” said one Instagram commenter, while another said, “Bro really is in his own world.”
Another user commented, “I don’t know why everyone is surprised this is Rodman, he does crazy things all the time.”
Rodman got the double tattoos on his bum more than a month after getting a portrait of his lover’s face tattooed on his cheek.
Tattoo artist Van Johnson, star of the reality series Black Ink Crew Chicago, shared video footage of the fresh ink.

He captioned the clip: “So I’m not doing much today, chilled out in my townhome and the face of a living legend of his wife tattooed on his face, that’s about it…” What are you doing?
The clip showed Rodman with blonde hair and Christian Dior sunglasses on his face as he showed off his latest tattoo. Yella Yella expressed her joy as she screamed with joy in the short clip.
It comes after Rodman hit back at trolls who slapped him for wearing a skirt at a Pride event in Houston last month.
Known for his rule-breaking, gender-fluid style and being an LGBTQ+ ally, Rodman wore a little green plaid skirt and a shirt with a graphic print of his face in rainbow colors.
Elsewhere on the black t-shirt was the phrase ‘Live and Love’, which he wore proudly as he greeted fans at the event.
The star – who once wore a wedding dress when he married himself in 1996 – loved posing for photos with admirers – but was met with a deluge of vitriolic comments when he shared a post about the affair.
The post was captioned, “Love will always win, Happy Pride #gaypride #loveislove #pridemonth.”
The star shared a post showing off his bold outfits over the years, writing, “Do your research guys #beenhim.”

Fans also defended him in the comments, with one writing, “Some of you are too young to remember this guy literally married himself in full makeup and a wedding dress lol.”
Another typed, “Imagine following Dennis Rodman and being homophobic,” while one fan wrote, “Literally don’t understand why you hate Rodman for this. Like why are you even following Rodman and this comes as a surprise? He did this twenty years ago.’
Another typed, “Dude wore wedding dresses and NBA fans are surprised he’s an ally.”
In his autobiography I Should Be Dead By Now, Rodman shared stories about his personal life, including how sex became a “job” — that’s how often he slept with different women.
Nicknamed “The Worm,” Rodman explained, “At that point in my life, I was having sex with a lot of different women. So much that it sometimes became a job.’
However, meeting model Carmen Electra briefly changed everything. The pair had a whirlwind relationship and were even married for a short while before divorcing in 1999.
“It was different with Carmen. It was nice to be with someone who waited for the right time, the right place, the right time,” Rodman wrote.
He revealed the details of a specific date, saying, “We went to eat sushi, we came home, we lay on the bed and we looked at each other and we talked, we talked, we talked.”

“She lay there for four or five days, slept in my house, in my bed, and we never made love. It was something unreal,’ he marveled.
In an interview with Vice TV, he revealed the gruesome details of an injury he sustained while having sex on a boat.
“It was in Dallas. My girlfriend at the time and I did everything,” he said. “I ran and jumped on her and suddenly… Oh, blood everywhere. A white girl with blood all over. She screamed, ‘Oh my God, he’s dead, he’s dead! I killed him!’
“I said, ‘No honey, I just broke my penis.’
