Rex Ryan Has A Tattoo Of His Wife In Mark Sanchez's Jersey?

While Jets head coach Rex Ryan sunbathed in the Bahamas last week, a tabloid photographer noticed something weird on his arm: a tattoo of wife Michelle wearing Mark Sanchez's No. 6 jersey, right below a shamrock with his kids' names. Oh, and she's not wearing pants. What a heartwarming family tribute?

We don't know if Mrs. Ryan has ever actually worn Sanchez's jersey--maybe she modeled it for the tattoo artist?--but either way, it's a bizarre choice of body art. When the Ryans make love, why would Rex want Michelle looking at a drawing of herself and thinking about Mark Sanchez? Is that how he gets his rocks off? Can we please get this mental image out of our heads?

The New York Daily News has even more questions:

"This classic work of art could affect Ryan's credibility with his players. Will they tease him about it? Will they be jealous of Sanchez? Will they think of Sanchez as the teacher's pet? Couldn't Ryan have expressed his ever-lasting love for the Jets with just a generic green jersey without a number?"

(They also speculate, "Obviously, there was another reason Ryan was reluctant to play Tim Tebow this season... Who wants to go through having the No. 6 replaced by No. 15?")

It's a classic mistake to get a lover tattooed on your body--because sometimes things don't work out--but a lover and a football jersey? Considering how Sanchez played this season, Ryan might have to make an especially embarrassing trip to the laser removal center.

Lil Wayne Gets 'BAKED' Tattooed On His Face, Naturally

Posted 1/3/13 10:50 am EST by in Hip-hop, Tattoos

Gentlemen used to never get tattoos below the wrist, because those were impossible to cover up. (In social situations unsuitable for gloves, anyway.) Clearly times have changed, because modern gentleman Lil Wayne just got another tat on his head to complement the stars and teardrops: "BAKED."

It's actually not a drug reference, but a tribute to the Baker Skateboards company. In an interview last summer, Lil Wayne explained:

"I picked up the skateboard and I thought it would be a hobby, but it's a lifestyle. You have to be fully committed. In order to be fully committed, you have to live that lifestyle. ... Rap is taking backseat to skating. That's all right. But I kind of feel I deserve that. … I think fans deserve some peace from me."

Dude, your forehead deserves some peace too! At least Baker Skateboards won't lose an election, so this isn't as bad as the guy who got a Mitt Romney tattoo above the neck last year. They make gloves for faces, right?

8 Crazy Hanukkah-Inspired Tattoos

Posted 12/17/12 11:00 am EST by in Photos, Tattoos

Last week, most Jewish people celebrated Hanukkah by going to temple, lighting menorahs, opening presents and possibly listening to Adam Sandler’s "Hanukkah Song" on repeat. But for other people, those things are just way too traditional and boring, which is why only the manliest of men have decided to wear their Jewish pride on their sleeves and get inked up with Hanukkah-inspired tattoos.

We scoured the Internet for the best of them and, while there are plenty of simple stars of David tattoos floating around (boring), we prefer the guys who go all out and come up with the weirdest possible designs. To celebrate the eight days of Hannukah, here are eight of our favorite Hanukkah and Jewish-inspired tattoos. And by favorite, we mean the worst of the worst. Mazel tov!

Cute And Disturbing Batch Of 13 'Gremlins' Tattoos

Posted 12/11/12 1:00 pm EST by in Tattoos

When it comes to killer holiday movies, "Gremlins" is right up there with "Die Hard." In case you haven't seen it, a father visits a questionable shop and buys Gizmo, an adorably furry creature known as a Mogwai. But when water spills on the lovable little guy, it spawns a bunch of psycho monsters that terrorize the drink-and-be-merry town of Kingston Falls.

A Gremlins tattoo can go one of two ways: heartwarming or horrifying. Depending on your personality, you'll select either plucky Gizmo or his demonic offspring. We rounded up the sweetest Mogwai ink for your perusal.

15 Tattoos Incorporating Or Covering Scars

Posted 11/15/12 4:00 pm EST by in Photos, Tattoos


Photo: tattooartists

Make cool tattoos incorporating or covering scars. Put another, traditional way, make lemons out of lemonade.

Every scar tells a story, sometimes a tale about war, in some cases about a clumsy person who tried watching a small kitchen TV while cutting food. Not a good idea. Anyhow, some people like to show scars off, others cover them up and apparently a bunch of other people actually build an entire tattoo around them. We found zipper-scar tats, tattoos using animals and many more for you to check out. So next time you get injured and scar tissue forms, remember, you just might have the foundation for some fresh ink.

Today's Dumbass: Guy With Romney Face Tattoo Has No Regrets

Posted 11/12/12 11:00 am EST by in Tattoos, Today's Dumbass

Never get a woman's name tattooed on your body, because you might lose her. And never get a politician's name tattooed on your body, because he might lose.

Back in October, professional wrestler Eric Hartsburg had Mitt Romney's campaign logo (a double "R" for Romney/Ryan) inked on his face, which netted him $15,000 on eBay. It seemed like a good idea at the time, but after President Obama's reelection victory last week, Hartsburg permanently bears the mark of defeat.

"Totally disappointed, man," Hartsburg told Politico. "I'm the guy who has egg all over his face, but instead of egg, it's a big Romney/Ryan tattoo. It's there for life."

Hartsburg's neighbors have harassed him about it ("It's all kinds of ribbage, man. … 'Your guy lost!' 'What are you going to do now?'") but he's keeping a positive attitude: "I was trying to make politics fun. ... I shed blood for this campaign, and I'm glad to know that I did all that I could."

Perhaps the $15,000 will cover laser tattoo removal for the "R." And if not, Hartsburg better hope that Florida Sen. Marco Rubio gets the 2016 GOP nomination.

We're back with a brand new edition of tattoos that your boss can see but probably doesn't want to. Halloween is near so it's high time to look at some messed up things that people have decided to carry around on a daily basis. A tower of Hello Kitty figures with arrows and self-inflicted gunshots through their heads? Check. A sad man trapped inside a taco forever? Yeah. Some guy who appears to be facing forward with a pair of ghastly hands grasping on the back of a neck? There's that too.

Funny Video: OOF! Making The Wrong Decision For A Tattoo

Posted 10/9/12 1:30 pm EST by in Funny, Ladies, Tattoos, Video

Deciding where to get a tattoo is a life-changing decision. You can go the extreme route and get one on your head like Trace Cyrus. You can go the intimate way and get an underboob tattoo like Rihanna. You can even decide to promote your favorite show on your arm. But the thing you definitely do not want to do is make the decision at the very last minute ... as you're sitting in the tattoo artist's chair. You don't want to make permanent choices while you're in the heat of the moment. In this latest video from the Guy Code Presents...OOF! series, you'll see exactly what we're talking about.

Rihanna Resurrects The Underboob Tattoo

Posted 9/10/12 5:45 pm EST by in Celebs, Tattoos

Almost a year ago, back when Lebron James was ringless and Snooki was baby-less, we introduced you to the brilliant underboob tattoo trend. All over the Internet, headless photos of girls taking awkward one-hand-holding-the-camera, one-hand-covering-the-boob self-snaps started appearing like manna in the desert; it was truly a blessing. Sadly, underboob tats went "out" a little too soon for our liking, getting replaced by permanent shoe tattoos and head ink.

But today we’re thrilled to announce the underboob has returned, thanks to Rihanna. Over the weekend, Ri-ri posted an Instagram picture of her new ink, an illustration of the Egyptian goddess Isis, which she said is an homage to her late grandmother. "Classy underboob" might be an oxymoron, but we’d argue that Rihanna's is definitely one of the least trashy ones we've seen. And since she's definitely a trendsetter, you can bet we’re going to be seeing a lot more underboob tats popping up soon. We’ll be watching and waiting, Internet.

The Male Checklist For Getting Pierced

Posted 9/4/12 2:00 pm EST by in Tattoos, The Show

If you're a guy and you're thinking about getting a piercing, you need to think this decision through carefully. You want to make sure you know what you're doing and what you want before you pay someone to punch a hole through your body. The cast of "Guy Code" will be talking about this very subject at 11/10c on MTV2, but here are a few initial questions to ask yourself before getting pricked.

Where Do You Get It?

The easiest way to think about it is this: The closer your piercing is to the ground, the weirder you are. Think about it. Anything on the face or head (ear, tongue, nose, etc.) is a normal "I'm an interesting rebel" kind of piercing. But anything lower gets strange. Nipple piercing? Maybe you're into S&M. Bellybutton piercing? Maybe you lost a bet and have hilarious friends. A piercing through your dong? You have serious problems and deal with them in the stupidest ways possible like piercing your penis instead of getting therapy.
