BEN AFFLECK IS WILLING TO SUFFER FOR LOVE

Jennifer Lopez’slove don’t cost a thing,” except maybe the price of a laser tattoo removal. Jen is still madly in love with her hubby Ben Affleck, but she just can’t say the same for the ginormous tattoo covering his back. Ben got the large multicolor Phoenix tattoo during a low point in his life (he reportedly wasn’t sober) and he’s well aware that his better half dislikes it. It’s reported to be far more painful to laser OFF a tattoo than it is to get one, but Ben wants Jen to be happy so he’s beginning the process of having it removed. Unfortunately for him, his tattoo is SO large and colorful that it’s going to take multiple sessions – and very likely a few years.

ARMIE HAMMER’S FETISH MIGHT PAY OFF

Remember WHERE you read this because as far-fetched as it sounds, it’s surprisingly true! Armie Hammer nearly lost it all when his penchant for kinky rough sex was thrust into the public eye, but now he’s decided to turn one of his fetishes into a side hustle! Some were appalled when they heard about Armie’s interest in “branding” sexual partners with his initials, so he’s embracing that turn-on, and studying to become a tattoo artist. Armie is practicing his newfound craft by inking over a dozen of his willing friends. Once he’s licensed, he’s planning to charge thousands per tattoo. The insider says Armie thinks it will become a status thing to get tattooed by a celebrity and calculates he can make money while having fun…

POST MALONE’S TATTOOS ARE THREATENED BY HIS WEIGHT LOSS

Post Malone claims to have lost over 55 pounds by cutting out Coca-Cola from his diet (We have our doubts and suspect Ozempic MIGHT have played a teensy part.) The heavily inked rapper is thrilled with his new body except for one thing, the drastic weight loss has made many of his numerous tattoos wonky. Post got most of his body art done while he was much heavier, but now that he’s lost the fat, his saggy skin is making his tattoos look distorted and smashed together! He’s been working with a tattoo artist trying to rectify the problem. Lotsa luck with THAT…

MEGHAN AND HARRY ARE MULLING TATTOOS

Like mother like daughter and now maybe like son-in-law. Meghan Markle is planning to follow in the footsteps of her mom, yoga instructor Doria Ragland and get inked! Doria sports a floral tattoo on her arm and now Meghan and her husband Prince Harry are planning to get matching ones. According to a source, Meg and Harry are well aware that tattoos might not be befitting of Royals so they’re likely to get inked on a part of their bodies which won’t be visible unless they’re naked. The insider says that Harry is still somewhat of a rebel so he likes the idea of getting one.

DYAN CANNON AND HER FUTURE HUSBAND?

Devoted fan Dyan Cannon turned up at another Lakers game this week in the company of a new man. Here’s the mystery: she introduced her tattooed companion to the paparazzo taking her photo as her “fiancé.” Really. He’s couldn’t be more different from her first husband Cary Grant. Is it possible that Dyan, 86, is thinking of getting married again – or just joking? Time will tell…

POST MALONE SAYS HE HAS A FACE FOR RADIO

Post Malone’s face tattoos are the subject of many conversations – he recently added a buzzsaw to his cheek. Mark Wahlberg has tried to warn him that he will regret them by the time he hits 40. Mark said “Every kid says ‘they all have meaning and I’ll keep them forever’ but they change their minds.” Wahlberg had many of his own painfully lazered off. Post insists that they make him more interesting to look at. He admits he lacks self confidence and jokes “I have a face for radio.” Photoshop expert Mitchell Wiggs created these photos of Post Malone with and without tattoos, and tamed his hair a bit. Malone’s face actually looks quite nice without the tats, but one of his friends said he looks like a real estate agent.

PETE DAVIDSON WILL BE READY FOR STARDOM IF IT HAPPENS

After spending ALL THOSE HOURS in tattoo parlors (not to mention the money) SNL comic Pete Davidson has been diligently getting his tattoos lasered off one by one. Ouch. He started with the most visible ones on his hands, arms, and neck. This is a big step for a guy who was ALL about tattoos, but Davidson has a good reason for putting up with the pain and giving up some of his hipster image. He wants to be a movie star! Pete says he never imagined he could become an actor, but he’s already appeared in two films – The King of Staten Island and The Suicide Squad and he LOVED it. But he had to arrive hours earlier than other actors to have his distracting tattoos covered up. THAT he didn’t like- so he decided to start the process of removing most of his 100-plus tattoos, just in case he has a bright future in Hollywood.

GUESS WHO: THIS CELEBRITY IS SERIOUSLY UNDERCOVER

This A-list celebrity is leaving Giorgio Baldi restaurant in Santa Monica after a late dinner with her family. No male companion in sight. Maybe that explains the not-so-sexy attire. Camouflage is far from her usual look, (she’s more at home in lingerie) but one aspect of her appearance is a dead give-away to her identity, and it’s NOT the fur jacket. It’s the hand tattoo – so it must be Rihanna!

KARDASHIAN LOVE CONQUERS ALL

There’s no doubt that the Kardashian sisters, Kim, Kourtney and Khloe, and their brother Rob idolize their father, the lawyer Robert Kardashian, who died of cancer in 2003. They frequently share vintage photos of the happy family and Rob (above) got a huge tattoo in honor of his father. It’s too bad that lawyer Robert Kardashian seriously tarnished his career in the mid-nineties when he supported – and represented- his friend OJ Simpson at his murder trial. He was even accused of hiding evidence of the murders for OJ. Certainly he (and everybody else) knew OJ was guilty, but Kardashian chose to help get him acquitted. Nevertheless, his kids never stopped loving him.
