MENA SUVARI KNOWS GOOD THINGS COME IN SMALL PACKAGES

Mena Suvari, 33, is a fast worker. She was still in the throes of her second divorce when she took up with L.A. based tattoo artist Salvador Sanchez. They’ve been inseparable on both coasts for months, in spite of the fact that 5’4” Mena towers over the diminutive, but apparently macho Sanchez. (When she sees a camera, she often walks behind him so he’ll look bigger) Her last husband asked for generous alimony from her and after a legal battle they finally settled and no longer speak.

Fashion Kat Von D Tattoos

KAT VON D HAS A KNACK FOR MORE THAN TATTOOS

#katvond #janetcharlton

Whatever happened to Kat Von D? Since she left her tattoo shop reality show, Kat has gone full tilt into the clothing business. (Above, she’s introducing her line at Pure London, a fashion event for buyers) And tattoos are NOT her inspiration – she says her collection was inspired by “modern romance.“ Click here to see her online fashions. They are actually far more sophisticated and cool that most celebrity designs – part goth, part steampunk, and they remind us of All Saints. And the prices are realistic. Good for her.

Fickle Kelsey Grammer Tattoos

SORRY KAYTE, KELSEY’S TATTOO DOESN’T NECESSARILY MEAN “FOREVER”

Kelsey Grammer’s new wife Kayte Walsh shouldn’t be too impressed with the fact that he had her name tattooed on his hip. Certainly he did it as a symbol that their love is “forever,” but his previous fickle behavior tells it all. Kelsey is the kind of guy who falls HARD for a woman and sweeps her off her feet – bragging about how WONDERFUL she is and buying gifts. It’s all very flattering. But with every one of his past wives and companions he has done a sudden and shocking about-face. One morning he wakes up and just doesn’t love her any more! (Jeff Goldblum is the same type) This abrupt change is a terrible jolt to the female involved. Maybe Kelsey wanted to make Kayte feel secure by getting that tattoo, but it IS small and very easy to erase.

Russell Brand has been a frequent visitor to Mark Mahoney’s Shamrock Social Club on Sunset Strip – his favorite tattoo parlor. Contrary to rumors, he did NOT get any tattoos related to his ex Katy Perry removed there. (Dermatologists do THAT.) On his last visit there with his new girlfriend, Hungarian model Nikolett Barabas, he got some kind of tattoo on his arm while Nikolett watched, but she didn’t get any. They’re not ready for his n’ hers body art yet.

Jesse James Kat Von D Tattoos

KAT VON D DOESN’T WANT TO SEE JESSE JAMES’ SMILING FACE IN THE MIRROR

Now that Kat Von D has dumped sleazeball Jesse James for the last time, she has turned her attention to the tattoo of his face as a kid in the 5th grade that she foolishly tattooed on her rib cage last July. At the time she did it to “prove her love” and quite a fuss was made over it on her TV show. Now she has quietly started to remove the large tattoo and all final traces of her former fiancee.

Girl with the Dragon Tattoo Goth Makeover Rooney Mara Tattoos

ROONEY MARA: WHAT’S THE OPPOSITE OF GOTH? VIRGINAL WHITE!

Rooney Mara grew back her eyebrows, washed off her tattoos and plucked out the piercings her character Lisbeth Salander sported in “Girl with the Dragon Tattoo.” The result: she looked almost virginal at the London premier. Her white Givenchy couture gown was both sexy and innocent – Rooney obviously doesn’t want to be typecast as a Goth outcast. Her movie is expected to be a Christmas blockbuster despite the dark subject matter.

Courtney Love arrived at the Young Adult premier in New York looking like a deranged bride. Her tattoos- some faded and some dark – just don’t add anything to her look.

Since she’s not dating a rock star, Ashlee Simpson doesn’t want to look like a rock chick. Nowadays she’s spending a lot of time in New York and the people she’s hanging out with are not so much into the music scene. Ashlee got at least five tattoos when she was married to musician Pete Wentz and now she’s having them lasered OFF

aser, one by one.

Makeover Sinead O'Connor Tattoos

SINEAD O’CONNOR: NOTHING COMPARES TO A MAKEOVER

Sinead O’Connor came to her senses and realized that looking like a matronly former nun would not help her reputation as a controversial personality and singer. In 1992, Saturday Night Live producers and viewers were shocked (believe it or not) when Sinead tore up a photo of the pope and threw the pieces at the camera in protest of sexual abuse in the Catholic church. (Good for her!) Her obstinate spirit and shaved head gave her the rebellious reputation. So when she turned up 20 years later looking ordinary, her career seemed doomed. But she took a good look in the mirror and shaved her head again and added a big Jesus tattoo on her chest. She HAD to do something, she has a new album coming out in February!

Damien Echols Johnny Depp Shamrock Social Club Tattoos West Memphis Three

JOHNNY DEPP IS PALLING AROUND WITH DAMIEN ECHOLS OF THE WEST MEMPHIS THREE

Last Friday afternoon, Johnny Depp and Damien Echols of the West Memphis Three were seen on Sunset Strip. You may remember, Johnny worked tirelessly to get the three young men who spent 18 years in jail for murder, free, because the evidence was so flimsy. Actually Damien’s teenage goth style probably contributed to their conviction more than anything. (Try to see the two West Memphis Three documentaries on HBO – a third one is on the way.) Johnny and Damien visited Depp’s favorite tattoo parlor – Shamrock Social Club, and an observer told us Damien seemed to be in a great mood and it looked like they both got tattoos. They do have a lot to celebrate.
