Steve-O’s Collection of Completely Messed Up Tattoos
Apr 2nd
You think you’ve seen it all; you’ve seen all the misspelled, misguided, and downright ridiculous tattoos across television and the web. You figure that there is absolutely no tattoo in the world that could be any more pathetic than what you’ve already seen. And then Steve-O appears on the screen. Considering what the man does for a living, it should really come as no surprise that he has a rather large collection of rather idiotic tattoos, but even we were amazed. Warning: the ink you are about to witness is definitely not for the easily offended or weak of heart. A Twisted Tribute? While he claims that he has yet to contact Guinness, Steve-O is pretty sure that the enormous tattoo of himself across his back has got to be the world’s biggest tattoo of a self-portrait. “…The face on my back is bigger than my actual face. I’m psyched on it!” The larger than life tattoo portrays Steve-O in classic open-mouthed, goofy style, giving double thumbs up. Think it can’t get much worse? Think again. Underneath the portrait it says, “Yeah dude, I rock!” And he even included his autograph. Blur-Worthy A few of Steve-O’s tattoos are so morally wrong that they actually have to be blurred out on television. Of course, being Steve-O, he’s very proud of each and every one. Let’s start with the most prominent; Steve-O chose to tattoo a few choice 4-letter words across his knuckles on each hand. The right hand spells out “shit,” while the left says “fu**.” He claims that the obscenities will remain until the day he has kids. Should Steve-O really be procreating? Another blur-worthy tat is the phrase “I have a small weiner.” What’s even more pathetic than the fact that he actually got this tattoo, is that the word “weiner” is misspelled. Evidently, Steve-O says he knew the tattoo was dumb when he got it, but realized it was even dumber a few days later when he finally noticed the misspelling. Now onto the favorite tattoo conversation piece; Steve-O’s flying Americana penis. Yes, really; he has a penis with red, white, and blue wings in his forearm with “USA” printed underneath. Forget Guinness, he should be contacting whoever distributes the awards for most ludicrous tattoo; he’d be hard-pressed to find anything as ridiculous as this. Personal Favorites Aside from his gargantuan self-portrait, Steve-O has a couple of tattoos that he claims are his favorites. First, it’s the tattoo of the words “your name” on his rear end. He claims that numerous fans have flashed their own rears at him, displaying the same tattoo; a fact he’s quite proud of. Steve-O claims that his tattoo of a marijuana leaf has made his life much easier when looking for weed in foreign countries. Evidently he originally got the tattoo in France, along with a “C” underneath it, as requested by a French DJ. Now whenever he’s looking to “score grass” in foreign countries, he needs only to point at his wrist. Just When You Thought it Couldn’t Get Any Worse… While there may be more that the world has not yet had the privilege of seeing, the rest of Steve-O’s known tattoos include: A traditional Maori tribal tattoo on his shoulder Vines, flower, and a butthole – a decision made at sixteen A Christian “Jesus Fish,” with Jesus replaced by Satan Pictures that make up the phrase “I Love to Bone” A collection of tattooed dots that were done while off-roading A bat that he randomly chose off a tattoo parlor wall The logo of Sonny’s bar and Grill in New Mexico An upside down pentagram The logo of the XYZ clothing company; which has since gone out of business

Angelina Jolie’s Tattoo Regret
Mar 2nd
For many individuals, the idea of having a tattoo inked may come with mixed feelings. Many decide against it for the simple fact that a tattoo is something that you must live with for the rest of your life. Others can’t wrap their mind around the fact that actual ink will be embedded within their skin for all of eternity. Maybe the thought of being in constant pain for the better part of a couple of hours is too much for you to fathom. However, if you truly want a tattoo, especially as a memorial, that is simply a chance you must be willing to take. Tattoo Regret Many people go ahead with their tattoo plans and love the outcome. Others still live with the regret of old flames’ names embedded in their arms. Whichever category you fall into, you’re not on your own. In fact, it is believed that many more women than men end up regretting their tattoo choices. This could be for many reasons; however, most people believe it is because men aren’t judged as harshly by their tattoo choices as women are. If you happen to regret a tattoo decision that you have made, you are certainly not alone. In fact, many would not think so, but even Angelina Jolie has tattoos that she wishes she would not have obtained. In fact, many of these she has attempted to either cover up with other tattoos or have eliminated by lasers. The following are just a few of the tattoos that she has covered or had lasered. Angelina’s Regretted Tattoos Once while in Amsterdam, Angelina got inebriated and got a tattoo of a dragon. She regretted this later and has since covered the tattoo with a Latin cross. She has the name of Billy Bob Thornton, her ex husband also on her left arm. She has been trying to have this removed by laser, but it is proving to be there for life. She has another tattoo also that was a matching tattoo that she got with ex-hubby Thornton. This tattoo was placed on her right arm, but she has since covered it with a tattoo illustrating the strength of will. Once, while on a television show, she explained a tattoo that she used to have on her lower back of a window. She stated that she used to dream looking out of windows and wished she had more time to spend outside, but since becoming a mother, she spends the majority of her time outside. This made the tattoo seem redundant. She had a Chinese letter that stood for courage, but this tattoo is now covered by another; a Tennessee Williams quote. Another Chinese letter that many believe to mean death she has now covered with a prayer for her oldest son, Maddox. She has a dragon on her left arm that she has been having laser treatments on for some time now; however, you can still faintly see the outline. So you see it isn’t just you that is feeling a bit of shame or regret for a tattoo. Reading this, we can all feel a little shame and regret for Angelina.

The Many Tattoos of Mena Suvari
Feb 17th
Since her debut 1997 film Nowhere, Mena Suvari has gone on to become somewhat of a popular actress, starring in American Beauty, American Pie, Day of the Dead and The Mysteries of Pittsburgh. When she isn’t busy appearing in films and television shows like HBO’s Six Feet Under, she is busy involved with charities whose cause is breast cancer, taking part in the “End Violence Against Women” campaign, being an activist for the African Medical and Research Foundation that is an African relief organisation, modelling for Lancôme cosmetics and appearing in fashion magazines such as Vogue. She has even branched into fashion design, designing a limited-edition three scarf collection. She will even travel to high schools and encourage kids to quit smoking. With as busy as she is, you would think it would be hard for her to find time to get questionable tattoos done, but somehow she manages. The Tattoos On the back of Mena Suvari’s neck, she has the etching of a lion, which itself isn’t that bad. However she made the regrettable choice of getting “word sound power” inked on directly underneath it, which certainly makes sense to her. At least she doesn’t have to spend time staring at it. After having her ink done in 2010, ahead of her wedding to the Italian concert promoter Simone Sestito, with whom she had been engaged to since 2008, she made a point of talking about what she would do to cover her tattoos up to avoid offending his family, since on his mother’s side there are two nuns who would not approve and that is why she “isn’t too keen” on showing them off, despite what the countless open backed dresses she wears would say. One has to wonder if these tattoos had something to do with her divorce from Sestito after a mere 18 months citing “irreconcilable differences” as the reason. Shortly after, she was seen back at Mr. Cartoon’s tattoo studio in LA having additional words added above her lion tattoo, which doesn’t leave too much room between the original tattoo and her hair. The world will be waiting on baited breath to see what genius insight this latest ink will reveal to the world. Mena Suvari also has a number 13 inked on her chest, which Simone Sestito also got a matching version of on his chest for some unknown reason back when they were engaged. Whatever the reason, one thing that can be said for sure is hers looks a lot better and more stylized than his really generic and ugly 13, which looks like a cut rate prison tattoo, or something that some idiot NBA player would spend $1200 on when it’s more like a $40 30 minute job. The Future It will be interesting to see whether her tattoos will affect what future film roles she receives, or how digital technology will be able to cover them up since not only Mena Suvari but many other celebrities have tattoos that might mean a lot to them personally but seem like just a bad decision to outside observers, like Megan Fox’s Marilyn Monroe tattoo for example.

Disney Gone Wild
Dec 5th
Walt Disney is a household name whether you are in the US or some remote island off the coast of nowhere. Disneyland, Disney Stores, Disney Movies, and the Disney Channel are just a few of the things that reign in Mr. Disney’s Empire. The Disney Channel has grown over the years to include more than just Mickey Mouse Cartoons. The channel offers all kinds of original television shows, original movies, and more young stars than you will find anywhere else. The stars of the Disney Channel shows often end up moving on to singing, movies, and apparently, tattoos. We’ve found just a few of the sweet little Disney stars who are going under the needle. Vanessa Hudgens While taking some time out to attend fashion shows in New York City early this year, Vanessa Hudgens decided to get herself a permanent fashion statement; a tattoo. For her very first (and so far only) tattoo, she debated between her ribcage and her neck. At first glance, you know what she chose; she has a beautiful butterfly tattoo on her neck. Demi Lovato Demi has a script tattoo on her right ribcage. When a picture of her in a bikini that showed what looked like a possible tattoo, nobody wanted to believe it. The back and forth arguing began instantly as everyone debated whether it was real. Demi revealed on her Twitter that it is, in fact, a real tattoo that reads, “You Make Me Beautiful.” While she is already beautiful, Demi says the phrase is from the song, “Beautiful,” by Bethany Dillon; a song that, “changed her life.” She later added a pair of feathers to the phrase. She followed this up with tattoos on her wrists that read, “Stay Strong.” Her left wrist also has red lips on it; one she got with friends. She has also added a blue feather behind her ear and a small cross on her hand. Miley Cyrus Yes, we had to save the best for last. Miss Miley has not one, not two, but nine tattoos. Allow us to walk you through the Miley art gallery. Her first tattoo was a script tattoo on her left rib cage that says, “Just breathe.” This tattoo was in honor of a close friend who passed away from cystic fibrosis, and two uncles who died of lung cancer. Next, she joined daddy at the tattoo parlor and while he got his own ink, she got “LOVE” tattooed on her ear. Apparently it’s about only hearing the good things and drowning out the bad. Tattoo number three is a fairly large dream catcher on her right side. It’s the biggest so far, and is a drawing of an actual dream catcher that hangs by her bed. The four feathers represent her siblings and the protection that the dream catcher offers. Next was the anchor on her wrist to remind her of a, “safe port,” and that she always has somewhere to go home to. After that, Miley apparently decided that her hand was boring, and covered each finger in a different tattoo. She has a heart on her right pinkie, a cross on the ring finger, and a line on her middle. The other side of her middle finger has a peace sign, and her index finger says, “Karma.” At some point, the line on the middle finger was turned into a peace sign, and she added an equal sign to her ring finger to symbolize marriage equality. Miley was also recently seen outside of a tattoo removal office; which of the nine will be the first to go?
