Oh please tell me this isn’t a real tat!  Please Ochocinco Chad tell me you didn’t?!

Chad Johnson desperately wants to let Evelyn Lozada know he still cares about her … so he went out and got an image of her FACE tattooed on his right leg with the name “Eve” underneath it.

Johnson posted the photo on his Twitter page today … the image is his new profile pic featured at the top of his page. It’s unclear if the tat is real … or of the temporary variety. Sources tell us Chad got the work done this past weekend.

Either way, Chad may not be getting his money’s worth from the ink — sources close to Evelyn say she still feels strongly about divorcing Johnson … and she’s made it clear to friends she will NOT be getting back together with the former NFL star.

As we previously reported, Evelyn filed for divorce last month … three days after Chad allegedly headbutted her during a heated argument.

Chad was arrested for domestic violence over the incident — but officials are still deciding whether or not charges will be filed against him.

A rep for Chad had no comment on the story.
