Perfect Relationship Somehow Fails

Today, in the Daily News‘ first edition of 2008, the paper declares: The tattoo is dead! Or, rather, some people regret their tattoos and want to get them removed, which can be costly and/or hard. You may remember this story hook from the first episode of The Simpsons.

Anyway, whatevs, lots of people have tattoos, sometimes they end up hating them, etc., etc. Writer Wendy Ruderman finds the best story ever:

Donna Maleczkowicz’s boyfriend convinced her to get his initials - “CS” - inked on her bikini line during a drunken escapade. At the time, she had been dating him for just a month. They met at Delilah’s, the Center City gentlemen’s club, where she still works as a hostess.

“I really, really thought that he was the one,” she said last week.

Oh, yes, I can’t believe it didn’t work out.

Holy shit, this is awesome too.

A decade ago, Dave Donch got a cover album of his favorite band, “Sublime,” tattooed on his leg from knee to ankle. The 1992 album included song titles like “Date Rape” and “We’re Only Gonna Die for Our Own Arrogance.”

Now he doesn’t want to be a walking Sublime album cover. Shocker!
