Texas man gets Frankie MacDonald tattoo after being dared by ‘Porkchops’

A man in Texas has tattooed Nova Scotia’s favourite weather man on his leg, well, maybe second favourite right behind Richard Zurawski.

Ernest Acosta of Odessa told News 95.7, he got Whitney Pier’s Frankie MacDonald inked on him after a dare.

“Somebody from the Live Leaks site named ‘Porkchops’ challenged me,” he said.

Acosta said he’s turned down many dares, but accepted this challenge because Frankie MacDonald is the best weather forecaster he knows.

“I’m a fan of Frankie, I mean, why not,” he said.

The photo Acosta chose for the permanent tribute to MacDonald is a caricature drawn in an editorial cartoon by The Chronicle Herald’s Bruce MacKinnon.

“I started googling Frankie MacDonald and that popped up and I said, ‘That’s the one, I’ve got to get that one.'”

Acosta, who has several tattoos, said this one is on the side of his leg just above the ankle, and it’s pretty big.

“If I would have had space at the back of my head, I probably would have put him there,” he added.

Acosta said Frankie contacted him to tell him he loves the tattoo.
