Hornets Star LaMelo Ball’s Tattoo Artist Spills Shocking Truth Behind Viral “Hot Chee Toes” Ink

Charlotte Hornets star player LaMelo Ball has recently attracted major spotlight due to a new tattoo. His tattoo artist shared a photo of a design on Ball’s foot, which was inspired by Cheetos and features flames on his toes.
This image sparked a significant debate on social media, with fans expressing mixed reactions. In a recent Instagram post, Ball’s tattoo artist, Elvis Ramos, revealed the surprising story behind the viral “Hot Chee Toes” tattoo.
“We tattooed LaMelo Ball. But those ‘Hot Chee Toes,’ those were not on Melo. We were just trolling. The original artist is actually out of California also, but nah, we didn’t do that on Melo, We did do a leg sleeve on Melo. We will be posting that soon. But yeah, we were just trolling, man. The internet is crazy, bro,” Ramos said in the video he posted on Instagram.
Ramos revealed that they were simply trolling LaMelo Ball, and the photo of Ball’s tattoo of hot Cheetos on his foot was fake.
