I can't stop laughing... :rofl:

It's a bit over the top for revenge... but really... she was stupid enough to agree to a tattoo from him after he found out she had cheated on him. What could possibly go wrong?

She signed a consent form. No money for her. I thin it's funny she tried to have him arrested for assault and when that didn't work went all "he got me drunk!" So she's a LYING skank...and not a smart one to have the guy she cheated on ink her.

So while I think he was wrong to do this, I think she doesn't have a leg to stand on legally to recoup any cash.

@Dave - So you're saying there's no such thing as signing under duress or being not in a capacity to sign documentation?

There is, but I don't believe anyone after they change their story. No assault? Well, I was drunk!

I dunno enough about the case to say. If she can prove that the contract was not legal due to her drunken state, then she might have a case. I hear some people get stupid tattoos when they are drunk and are unsuccessful at suing the tattoo artist.

People's signatures change based on how drunk they are past a certain point. I suspect that if her signature is "normal" for her, then it's going to be difficult to prove she was too drunk to make a reasonable decision.

But, tossing all that aside, I think she should still have a case. The "artist's discretion" clause is usually just added to prevent people from suing for minor errors or poor artistic ability. It's not meant to allow the artist to interpret "Narnia Trilogy" as "Feces".

The comments are saying ANY woman that has tats is a cheap whore. Idiots. I don't understand that ponit of few. I've heard it before from people around here. Tattoos are apparently a 'man' thing.

My wife now has 2 tattoos and I'm still torn about them. I certainly don't like a lot of tattoos on a woman as I do think they can look "trashy".

Yeah, I can't really agree with his method on getting her to sign, but I can't deny that his manner of revenge is flipping awesome. He didn't force the wine or the shots down her throat. She asked him for the tattoo. She was dumb enough in the first place to ask the dude she cheated on for the tattoo. I'd say fair's fair here.

I don't know UK law but here I am sure she'd win something. It was dumb of her to trust him to tattoo her but that guy is an asshole. I hope word gets around he can't be trusted as a tattoo artist.

Scarlet letter anyone?

They weren't married.

She has sex with another guy, and he permanently* disfigures her body.

Are the two actions equivalent?

You can't call cheating on him a crime, but it's quite possible that what he did was a crime, so in the eyes of the law they aren't equivalent.

People would probably be on her side if he cut her skin with a knife and left scarring. The only thing that seems to make this 'OK' for some people is that she wanted a tattoo - even though it isn't the one she got. Rather than a few knife cuts, she gets a billion needle stabs in a scarring/inking pattern she didn't fully endorse.

I could see him getting away with putting an easter egg into the tattoo she wanted, or changing a small tattoo in an out-of-the-way place completely, but this is something that she won't easily be able to hide, or cheaply fix.

So without hearing more details about the situation, I'd say he went too far.

*even the best tattoo removal techniques today may leave some shadows and/or scarring, and some affect natural pigment, making it harder to tan/easier to burn, etc, etc, etc

The slack-jawed morons who would post something like that tend to be the same misogynistic assholes who just wanted to bash women for anything. It could have just as easily been "women wearing red are cheap whores" or "women who drive cars are cheap whores." It's like a retarded mad lib for them.

I think there's such thing as a tasteful tattoo. I will even say a visible tattoo on a woman can easily just mean she wanted to decorate herself. But I will assert there is definitely a message being conveyed when that tattoo is both on the small of the back and displayed openly.

I don't think this is awesome, I think this is pretty fucked up. At the very least, I think it would be just that he would have to pay for the cost of the tattoo removal. I don't doubt he got her too drunk to know what she was doing, and took advantage of it. I could easily see that being a form of assault.

I don't see the placement of a tattoo having much meaning. What the tattoo is has more meaning. If it is a butterfly on the small of the back that seems to me more of a decorative attempt, especially with the fashion being short shirts. it doesn't mean anything about the person's sexuality. However if it is a butterfly with cock wings and the words "im a slutty mcslutface" on it then that could mean something.

Obviously depends on the placement, as to the meaning of the placement. A tramp stamp is not a mastectomy tattoo.

I hate the term tramp stamp I am excited for that to go out of vogue.
