Chris Brown shocked by fan’s tattoo

Chris Brown was left astounded after a fan got his face tattooed on his leg.

The American star jetted into Australia this week and has kept his followers updated on his whereabouts via Twitter.

He loves hearing from his admirers on the social networking website and felt he had to pay tribute to one fan who had taken his dedication to the next level.

Chris posted a picture of the man's calf, which boasts a large black and white etching of the singer's face.

"Omg! One of my male fans got this tatted! Teambreezyaustralia (sic)," he wrote next to the picture.

Chris has enjoyed sharing other pictures over the last few hours.

He was apparently excited to be heading to Australia and added an image of some of his travelling companions apparently sitting in a bar before they boarded their flight.

"Drunk before flight!!!! (sic)," he wrote.

Chris hit the headlines recently following claims he was reuniting with his ex-girlfriend Rihanna, who he split from after he assaulted her in 2009. The pair have worked on two new songs together, although they haven't confirmed they are romantically involved.

Rihanna has been in Australia promoting her new movie Battleship recently. It was known Chris would be arriving this week, ahead of his performance at the Supafest festival in Brisbane.

There was speculation they might take to the stage together to sing the new tracks, but that is now known not to be the case.
