Dita Von Teese had two questionable ideas for tattoos as a younger lady in the early '90s, but unlike many suckers walking around with the dumb ideas of decades earlier permanently inked onto their skin, she didn't follow through on them.
Actually, in one case she tried, and the tattoo parlor refused to do the tatt.
She wanted a star on her face, but the artist there, who she now calls the voice of reason, would only give her a beauty mark. "You have to understand I was pretty eccentric," Dita said. "I was always drawing hearts and stars in that spot. I went in thinking I wanted a star there, but they wouldn’t do it."
The other idea was to get seams tattooed down the backs of her legs, and she did have it done with non-permanent henna. "Can you imagine how hard it would be to match up the seams with real stockings? It would have been a nightmare. At that time I was researching everything about the forties, about how during World War II women would draw seams on. I thought, ‘Wouldn’t that be cool?’"
Maybe it would have been for a little while. Good decision, Deets.
