Let’s keep in mind before I continue with this story…Tattoos are pretty much forever. Â SMH.
David “Tattoo” Gonzalez got a forehead tattoo from which he gets his nickname (see pic below) which reads “I Slept With Shaq.”  Yes, it is 100 percent real, and the story behind it says a lot about his ascent in radio.
From KDAY, the Gangsta Rap Oldies Station, Breaks New Ground by Playing Music From the Bad Old Days:
Gonzalez grew up on KDAY AM 1580 himself. Arrested numerous times and jailed at 19 after shooting at (and missing) his biological father — whom he says abandoned him for a long stretch — he possesses the chutzpah of a natural-born morning-show host, or maybe a Jackass actor. Once, on air, he was shot in the testicles with a Taser, and he drew tabloid notice last year for a weird fetish video in which he was whipped by Nadya Suleman, aka Octomom. She’d donned a black corset; he’d impersonated a baby and wore a diaper. They made it to spoof an offer she received to appear in a porno, he explains.But the tattoo across his forehead truly seals his gonzo credentials. Removing his Raiders cap, he displays it, sprawled in oddly formal cursive: “I Slept With Shaq.” He got the ink during a contest for Lakers NBA Finals tickets in 2001, a challenge presented by Power morning-show DJ Big Boy. Gonzalez showed the handiwork to Shaq — who was impressed — and Big Boy soon gave him a job at the station.
Gonzalez worked at Power for the better part of a decade, before being booted for “a sticky situation” he won’t discuss. (Power representatives also declined comment.) But he’s clearly revitalized, and this morning, as Debbie Deb’s 1986 electro hit “Look Out Weekend” plays on air, he takes some swipes at Power, the hip-hop juggernaut that followed in the original KDAY’s wake and now dominates L.A. radio by playing the newest rap and R&B hits. “We’d all pretended we liked [Power’s music]. But everyone there would get out of work, into their cars, and put on KDAY.”
