The New Times alternative weekly in the Tampa, St Pete area did some reporting of the 17th-annual South Florida Tattoo Expo was held at the Marriott Hotel, Golf Club & Convention Center at Heron Bay in Coral Springs over the weekend.  The highlight is the video seen below (pretty much nsfw) where an obviously disturbed, intoxicated and ridiculous girl gets a tattoo around her … uh… where she makes dirty.

George A Doyle, 20, has been charged with assault and battery and 'illegal tattooing' after putting a tattoo referencing the much beloved rap duo (who wax poetically over the mystery's of magnets) on a 16 year old boy who he earlier bullied and got drunk.  While forcibly tattoo'ing is bad unto itself, it is the fact that Doyle misspelled "Juggalo" (what ICP followers call themselves) as "Jugallo".   He also then put initials referencing other high class culture icons...

**Update** just minutes after posting this, I was tweeted this story by "GuysGirl.com" ... Turns out this is an old story and the one below is a fake, just like I thought it was, but didn't trust my instinct.  I am sorry. **** This story has been floating around for a few days and I was pretty certain it was a fake, so I didn't post it.  But it's circulating enough now that I suppose its real and, if so, really funny.  So here it is. In Ohio, Ryan Fitzjerald is being sued for $100,000 by an ex-girlfriend, Rossie Brovent for a tattoo he put on her back. See, Ryan found out that Rossie...
