Jonathan Cheban flashes an arm tattoo as he chats on his cell phone in West Hollywood… after saying pal Kim Kardashian is ‘above fashion’
Kim Kardashian’s good friend Jonathan Cheban – who now goes by FoodGod – was working on some ink.
On Wednesday, the reality TV star showed off a tattoo on his arm.
The Keeping Up With The Kardashians veteran was walking past a row of outdoor restaurants on Sunset Boulevard in West Hollywood when he showed off the mark.
It’s a lightning bolt with a palm tree, a nod to the time he spent in Miami when he appeared on Kourtney & Khloe Take Miami.
This comes after he spoke about Kim’s May Met Gala look, where she wore a cardigan over her silver dress.
‘I thought that dress was the coolest dress I’ve ever seen. The sweater that everyone is confused about. I can not explain. It’s so beyond fashion,” he said.

He was last seen at the Badgley Mischka show at the Starrett-Lehigh Building in New York City.
The star brought his mother Galina Cheban as his plus one.
Galina looks so youthful that it seems like she could be the sibling, and not the mother, of the reality TV star.
Cheban was born in Moldova, Soviet Union in 1974.
He is the only child of a real estate agent mother and a diamond trader father, Mikhail, who died in 2011.
Both Jonathan and Galina wore jet black clothing.
He wore a double-breasted jacket and a thick, diamond-studded white gold chain worth a million dollars.
His pants were dark gray and he wore black suede boots.
It’s of a lightning bolt with a palm tree.
Galina was elegant in a black glitter top with trousers and sunglasses, while a black bag dangled from her shoulder.
This comes after he was working on it Donald Trump‘s daughter Ivanka Trump in December.
They looked side by side like new friends at the opening of the luxurious new Fontainebleau hotel in Las Vegas.
Kim was also at the event, but she did not appear to pose with her old friend Trump.
And her sister Kendall Jenner was also in attendance, as she walked in with Cheban.

Kim and Ivanka have become friends in recent years, but were not seen together at the glittering event, which also featured Sylvester Stallone and his wife Jennifer Flavin as guests.
Jonathan looked sharp in a dark suit with dress shoes as he showed off his tattoos and diamond jewelry.
Ivanka was stunning in a long, sparkling dress with her blonde hair worn movie star style.
Kendall wore a black slip dress that showed off her chest and bare arms.
Kim went for basic black because her raven hair was in soft curls and her makeup was extra dramatic.
Kim and Jonathan met about 15 years ago when she rose to fame on Keeping Up With The Kardashians.
They sat next to each other at an event and became fast friends.
Jonathan was a publicist at the time and he advised Kim on what events to attend, how to pose and what to wear.
As her fame grew, she supported Cheban and invited him to appear on Keeping Up With The Kardashians.

Kim Kardashian may lose her best friend to another celebrity. In December, Cheban was spotted chatting with Donald Trump’s daughter Ivanka Trump
He also appeared in The Kardashians.
And the star has become a reality TV star in her own right. He was in the Spin Crowd and Celebrity Big Brother.
More recently he had his own FoodGod show.
Meanwhile, Kim and Ivanka were recently spotted at Kim’s 43rd birthday party.
In 2022, they shocked fans when they were spotted together during a three-hour dinner in Beverly Hills, days after Kim’s ex-husband, Kanye West, made a series of scathing anti-Semitic comments, sparking angry fire from the rapper.
Ivanka, 40, who converted to Judaism when she married her husband, Jared Kushner, in 2009, was photographed leaving the luxury eatery The Polo Lounge at the Beverly Hills hotel with Kim by her side.
