Mickey Rourke just got a fresh tattoo at Mark Mahoney’s Shamrock Social Club on Sunset. (Tattoo artist Mahoney has a role in the new movie “Blood Ties” with Clive Owen) Mickey’s got a big hole in his army pants but seems okay with it. Rourke just finished starring as a hit-man who develops a conscience in “Skin Traffik,” with Daryl Hannah and Eric Roberts, his costars in 1984 in “The Pope Of Greenwich Village.” Thirty years ago!

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.
