Steve-O's Tattoo Regrets

Believe it or not the crazy outgoing Steve-O does have some regrets about the many tattoos he has. However, he has no problem with the huge tattoo of himself that covers his entire back that reads "Yeah Dude, I rock! Steve-O" nor does he regret his copy cat tattooed of Angelina Jolie's prayer for her eldest son Maddox on his shoulder blade. Or having Billy Bob name written on his arm. Not to mention the "I have a small wiener" on his arm." But he does regret a pot leaf on his wrist and a certain male body part on his arm.

Interesting Tattoo Facts

Whether people like it or not tattoos are here to stay and more and more people are heading out to their local tattoo parlor every day to get a tattoo. For a society that does not think too kindly of tattoos they sure do pop in the least likely places. Our everyday lives revolve around tattoos in someway shape or form without one even realizing it. Tattoos are not an evil thing. They are just a form of self expression.

The Tattoo Curse Strikes Again

People never seem to learn this lesson from other people who have been through this. It is pretty much a guarantee that once you get a lover's name tattooed on you or get a portrait of them tattooed on your body that you will break up. This is not something that people pull out of the air - it is a proven fact.

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

You may think that is kind of odd that the Marine Corps would be making a change in a tattoo policy. Mainly because way back in the day men who were in the service were one of the only people besides criminals and dirt bags that had tattoos. Well the Marine Corps are not making a positive change in their tattoo policy, unfortunately it is a bad one if you have tattoos.

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

Deciding to get a tattoo is a huge decision that should never be taken lightly. However, a lot of people just go out and get a tattoo for the sake of getting one, which is never a good idea. This is probably why the percentage of young people regretting at least one of their tattoos is so high.

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.

Fun Tattoo Facts

Tattoos have been around since the the biblical times and have been popping up everywhere since then. However, in today's society tattoos have become a lot more popular and a little less taboo as they once were. Although the acceptance of tattoos is still a little shaky and a lot of work still needs to be done in this area.

Here are a few fun tattoo facts, tips and statistics that you may or may not have known.

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.
