Megan Fox Joins the Ranks of Celebrities Who Regret Their Ex Tattoos

8:28AM Kyle Buchanan | Megan Fox and her fiance, David from 90210, have broken up. Sad news—especially since Fox has her now-ex’s name permanently tattooed on her body. Which begs the question; what other celebrities have made the same mistake? More »

New ‘Lost’ Mystery: Why Did Josh Holloway Get This Terrible Tattoo?

6:45AM Kyle Buchanan | When Lost first began, it had several things going for it, including a strong premise, a diverse cast, and a series of wonderful chests. Sadly, Josh Holloway (tee-vee’s “Sawyer”) has decided to follow in costar Matthew Fox’s lead and mess with his Abbie™-winning torso, and the results became evident this week as he shot an advertisement for Cool Water in Hawaii. Was Holloway trying to one-up Brad Pitt’s inscrutable ink, or was he paying tribute to his adopted archipelago in ways that will surely undergo some tectonic shifting over the next decade? A second picture awaits after the jump for those inclined to study the evidence — we’re too busy engineering a frantic, preventative letter-writing campaign aimed at Naveen Andrews (no, Sayid, those nipple rings will not look good on camera).

Brad Pitt’s Cryptic New Tattoo Explained!

9:00AM Seth | Photos of Brad Pitt boarding a helicopter in Monaco with sons Maddox and Pax yesterday instantly set the intertubes abuzz, as the aircraft’s rotors blew up the actor’s shirt, revealing a mysterious new tattoo covering his lower back. The seemingly random series of horizontal dashes and shapes were initially thought to be a highly encoded abstract design, each line representing one member of the ever-growing Pitt-Jolie clan. But now, Defamer can exclusively report (Must! Credit! Defamer! Pitt! Tattoo! Exclusive!) that the tattoo is not yet finished, with the final result paying homage to one of the great design triumphs of the 20th Century. An artist’s rendering of what it will look like is after the jump: More »

Susan Sarandon Finds Fountain Of Youth In Local Tattoo Parlor

5:55AM Molly Friedman | Ever since our first viewing of the Rocky Horror Picture Show, we have adored and idolized Susan Sarandon as both an actress and an icon. And her recent decision to get the mature woman’s version of a tramp stamp on her upper back only serves to heighten our girl crush. Despite being located on her back, the tattoo in question is far from trampy: Sarandon decided to intertwine the first letters of each of her three children’s names in sky blue script. As for her reasoning behind the spontaneous ink, “Why not? I turned 60 and after a while you think, ‘Well I’ve only got my body for a few more years anyway’.” A closer look at the new tat, and why Susan chose body art over “that burn victim” look other stars go mad for these days, after the jump.

Lindsay Lohan No Longer Content Just Showing Us Her Nipples

3:30AM Molly Friedman | Lindsay Lohan has never been one to shy away from press, no matter how bad or embarrassing it may be. And following right on the heels of her controversial nip-baring photo shoot for New York Magazine, Lindsay’s apparently become so fond of showing off her T&A that she’s decided to arrange various photo shoots displaying each of her five tattoos. And though the tats’ placement aren’t, as far as we know, placed in the vicinity of body parts the revealing Marilyn Monroe-inspired shoot didn’t dare show, we wouldn’t be surprised if a nouveau tat representing some lame Chinese saying for sobriety appeared in the exhibit, premiering this Thursday in New York. Images of LiLo’s known tattoos after the jump; it’s up to you to figure out how highbrow artists are going to manage to turn the oh-so-original stars and John Lennon lyrics into masterpieces: More »
