Iggy Azalea -- I Saved Nick Young From Tattoo Disaster

Well, this coulda been bad.

Iggy Azalea says her fiance Nick Young was thiiiiis close to getting the words "Born Reble" tatted across his back ... until she stepped in and saved the day.

Iggy explained the sitch ...

"Guys, I wanna let you know. Nick cant spell and if it wasnt for the LOVE i have for him. He would have 'BORN REBLE' tatted across his back."

"I came in half way thru his tattoo and noticed "BORN REBEL" looked different to the way i remember it."

Question is ... you REALLY buyin' this??? Or is Nick offering himself up for some cheap public shaming as some sort of penance for the whole alleged cheating thing?
