    Unfortunate celebrity ink

    When seeding one's skin with permanent ink, one should think through all of the possible consequences.

  • Kendall Jenner
    Kendall Jenner got the word "meow" inked on the inside of her lip in September 2016. The fashion model and reality TV star admitted on "The Ellen DeGeneres Show" that the tattoo wasn't exactly a thought-out decision. “I was drunk! I was not thinking clearly,” Jenner admitted. “It was literally the first thing that came to my mind. I don’t know, just my drunk thoughts.” For more photos of Jenner, visit HollywoodLife.com.

  • Tom Hardy
    Tom Hardy got a tattoo on his bicep that reads, "Leo knows all" after losing a bet to his friend Leonardo DiCaprio. The two starred together in the 2015 film "The Revenant" and DiCaprio bet Hardy that he would get a 2016 nomination for his role, but Hardy did not think he would. If Hardy lost the bet, he would have to get the tattoo. Turns out Hardy did get the nomination which resulted in two-years-overdue tattoo.

  • Kelsey Grammer
    Kelsey Grammer Kelsey Grammer picked an odd place to get a cheap tattoo. The former "Frasier" and "Cheers" star chose to express his undying love for his new wife Kayte Walsh by having her first name applied to his lower right hip. The ink reportedly set him back $60, which was the cheapest tattoo the parlor offered. Check out his tattoo here. Kayte is his fourth wife, but this is Grammer's first tattoo, which means, despite the tattoo's nominal cost, this marriage must be for keeps. Right?

  • Miley Cyrus
    Miley Cyrus The singer got some ink on her right forearm, but nobody seems to know what it means.  It could be a botched attempt at Roman numerals (but they are in the wrong order), it could be Roman numerals that add up the number 96 (her favorite year perhaps?), or the more likely scenario is that it's a language that only Miley knows. Either way, she'll likely regret it in a month. For more pics of Miley, go to x17online.com.

  • LeAnn Rimes
    LeAnn Rimes The country singer debuted a new "feminine tattoo" on her right foot on her twitter account on Jan. 17. "Ok....here it is!" she writes. "It's dainty. All of my tattoos are very feminine." The meaning behind the words? "It's something Eddie said to me. It was sweet," she told one fan. She then added, "It's something Eddie said I was to him." That's sweet and all, but he has two kids from a previous marriage. Shouldn't they also "matter" to him? (x17online.com/Twitter)

"Star of LA Ink Kat Von D is back... she just broke up with fiancé Jesse James, but not before getting a tattoo of his childhood picture," Michael said before the Fox show ran the clip. The tattoo artist lashed out at the show tweeting, "Dear GoodDayLA, thanks for the waste of a perfectly good morning. Lack of compassion n respect for each other never fails to dissapoint [sic] me." Kat may not mind having her old flame's faced permanently inked on her side, but we're willing to bet her next beau might?

  • Rihanna
    Rihanna The pop star left East Side Tattoo Parlor in NYC on August 10 looking quite pleased with her new neck ink.  Unfortunately, girlfriend needs to brush up on her French – her tattoo is incorrect! The permanent script reads “rebelle fleur,” or, “rebellious flower.” However, a quick Google search would have revealed that in French, the adjective typically goes after the noun. The ink should technically read “fleur rebelle.”  Zut alors! And check out x17online for more new pics of Rihanna.
