In anInstagram Story poston Wednesday, Levine addressed the tattoo, revealing that it was fake as he showed off his ink-free face.
“This message is for my mother: I do not have a tattoo on my face,” Levine began. “Those who know me know I’m too vain. I’m too f—— vain to get a tattoo on my face.”
“I’ll tattoo the rest of this, but no. The face has got to stay the same,” he added.

Levine’s temporary tattoo appeared to be a nod to the new rose-hued tequila he and Prinsloo, 33, launched earlier this year —Calirosa Tequila.
While tequila is typically aged in whiskey barrels, pink tequila is aged in red wine barrels, which gives it its rose-colored hue.
“Adam and I love Mexico and first tried a pink tequila when we were in there three or four years ago. We were blown away. I had never heard of tequila being aged in red wine barrels so I was thinking, ‘This is crazy! Do they dye it?'“Prinsloo previously told PEOPLE.
