Oh boy, this is so bizarre it could only be true. Apparently a Dayton, Ohio, tattoo artist has been slapped with a $100,000 lawsuit by his ex-girlfriend for tattooing an image of, erm, excrement with flies on her back rather than the scene from Narnia that she had requested. The reason? He’d recently found out that she had been cheating on him with one of his buddies. Damn! And here we were thinking this was the hot new look for trailer park trash crowd.

Not that I condone this sort of behavior, but that IS kinda funny.

I don't understand why you'd go to your boyfriend for a tattoo after cheating on him, that doesn't make a whole lot of sense to me - but it makes for a funny story.

Yeah!

Unprofessional behavior!

I hope people stop going to this guy.

As the Smoking Gun noted of the claim:...

This is (not your father's) CNN. And getting worse since they hired an entertainment guy to run the network.

Even the article you linked was from 2011...

It was probably an advertisement link on CNN. The ads on a lot of these sites really blend in and look like their own links sometimes.

I saw this story a 2 or 3 years ago and was wondering if it was really true.

Yeah!

Unprofessional behavior!

I hope people stop going to this guy.

The free market will fix it!

I'm such a party pooper.

 

[Don't panic]

even if that story is false, if the tattoo is real, the backstory would be equally sad/interesting/insane.
hopefully it was just a temporary (but ******) prank.

She cheated on him.. he got a pretty good revenge. I score him the winner of this crazy story.
