cfm and Coalea were hoping to clarify Frances' relationship to Ellen. First off, Frances IS Ellen, but you already knew that. So to play along: Frances has announced a definite family relationship to Ellen (see here) but we have much less with which to speculate cousins vs. sisters, etc, than is the case with Lourine. I suspect readers were confusing the two--which is entirely understandable.
I love the look but would appreciate some advice. Is there a good way of explaining why you got a tattoo with an exes name on your butt when you are no longer together? It is too painful to get rid of it but hope the hive can come up with some snappy advice I can use to explain this faux pas!
This is wishful thinking, but any chance you could make it into a phrase? Or tattoo over it with some other design?
Or…put a band-aid over it and dodge the question :)

- The phrase idea made me giggle and try and come up with some:Mark my words.Nothing Else MattersDane’s Inferno
- Last one should obviously be Dante… sigh.
- Like the Johnny Dep classic, “Wino Forever.”
- Make it into a phrase? Easy. Just insert a word in front.
Bill => Kill Bill
Chuck => #^%& Chuck - I think a Sharpie marker would work well here.

I would definitely try a coverup tattoo – they can really be gorgeous and completely obscure the old tattoo. Or use the “patch” as birthcontrol and keep the patch right there!

“It seemed like a good idea at the time” ? If you are to a point in the relationship where the new person is seeing the tattoo, then are you also to the point where you feel comfortable with a quick recap of the previous relationship that produced the tattoo? How much explanation do you think you need to give?

- +1. If you feed the trolls, it just encourages them.

- Frances posts a lot, pretends to know ellen etc. I think they say they are cousins

- Aaaah! Stuck in meetings!!!!! I’ll break it all down for you asap!Freinds on this websight!

How about a panicked “wait, that’s not your name?”
A cover up tattoo is a good idea, but I wonder if that will be just as painful as getting it removed.
- I love this!

Things that happen in Vegas (TJ, Ibiza, wherever) stay in Vegas. (Insert crazy vacation destination of your choice.)

Only date people who have the same name as the ex.

How about putting the no sign around it. Like the no smoking signs. I know this is a troll but this is a fun topic.

I saw something on Pinterest this weekend that addressed this. There was the name, and then later the tattoo was expanded to include a line through the name and then a phrase below it – I don’t remember what it was exactly, but something like “Mistakes happen” or “Oops” or something like that.

Tell him it is a visual reminder of the day you told him to “kiss your…”
- Play him that episode of Weeds when Nancy gets U-Turn’s name on her bum. It’s like a big F.U. to a bad phase of your life.

George Bush said it best- “Look, when I was young and foolish, I was young and foolish.”
- get a pet and name it that name, then you have a good excuse!
