Ever since Nick Lachey covered up his 98 Degrees tattoo, I have not known what temperature it is

For years, I relied on Nick Lachey’s infamous 98 Degrees sun tattoo to tell me what temperature it is outside. The answer, of course, was always 98 Degrees, even when it was January. This was my rock, my bible, my truth.

Unfortunately, tragedy struckSeveral years ago, Nick Lachey covered up his 98 Degrees tattoo, replacing it with a solid black sun. And since that day, I have not known what temperature it is.

Which makes this meme — shared by Lachey on Friday — sting all the more.
