Rick Pitino is getting a tattoo, really. The 60-year-old Louisville coach has even decided on the design and location.

"I said it, not believing this was going to be a reality but I am going to get it," Pitino said on "CBS This Morning" on Tuesday. "I'm a man of my word. I'm going to get it on my left shoulder. It will be a cardinal and it will say 2013 champions."

After his Cardinals beat the Michigan Wolverines on Monday night to win the national championship -- making Pitino the first coach ever to win a national title at two different schools -- he talked about a deal he had made with his players.

"They said if you win the national championship, coach, you are getting a tattoo. I said, 'Hell yes'" Pitino said. "I'm getting a tattoo!"

And just like that, several on Twitter posted suggestions for Pitino. He didn't go with any of these ones.
