Steve-O's Tattoo Regrets
Interesting Tattoo Facts
The Tattoo Curse Strikes Again
For some unknown reason there is a tattoo curse on these tattoos. So if you are in a very happy relationship and feel the need to get a tattoo of your lover's name or to get a portrait of them on your body just simply don't. Within a short period of time the tattoo curse will take effect on your relationship and it will be no more.
Well it seems that, rapper, producers and songwriter Jermaine Dupri learned this lesson the hard way just like everyone else does. Let's face it just because you are a celebrity does not mean that the tattoo curse will have no effect on you, in all honestly it seems to happen more to celebrities because they don't learn from other celebrities mistakes.
A few months ago Jermaine that it would be a wonderful idea to get this huge tattoo on the side of his body of the Virgin Mary, except the Virgin Mary was really his girlfriend of seven years, Janet Jackson. As you can imagine the tattoo curse hit them and the couple is no longer together. So if you are thinking about getting a tattoo of a lover's name or a portrait of them just simply don't!
Marine Corps Make a Change in Their Tattoo Policy
The policy that is being changed is in regards to tattoo sleeves. As of September 4, 2008, Marines who have tattoo sleeves are no longer authorized to serve as a recruiter or Marine Security Guard. The Marine Corp defines a tattoo sleeve as the following:a large tattoo or collection of smaller tattoos that covers or almost covers a person's arm or leg. This new policy also includes half and quarter sleeves if they are visible in green-on-green, physical training gear.
Tattoo Redo
Despite all of that, is it possible that you may not regret one of your tattoos, but if you were given the chance to turn the clock back would you have gotten the same tattoo? I bring this up because one of my tattoos I feel that I have outgrown, also I have always felt that it is a little too big. So if I was given a tattoo redo I would probably of not gotten the tattoo I got and I would make sure that it would be a little smaller than what it is.
So this just leads me to pound this into everyone's head. You need to be 120% sure that you are going to be okay with the tattoo design you have picked out for the rest of your life. The tattoo that I'm not so much in love with anymore I have had for 8 years. I would absolutely love to get it removed but do not want to spend the money to go to multiple laser removal sessions and I do not want to endure the pain that comes along with it. Plus laser removal causes scars and doesn't 100% get rid of the tattoo.

Even after your new tattoo is healed it is still susceptible to the sun's rays. So be extra careful to avoid direct sunlight and always wear an SPF of 30 or higher to protect your tattoo.
