Amy Winehouse wants to remove her Blake tattoo

Amy Winehouse is not only famous for her music or her problems with drugs, alcohol her wild nights out, she is also known for her many tattoos!

And there's one that's much talked about at the moment: the one on her heart in the shape of a pocket where it is written "Blake's", which meant that her heart belonged to Blake Fielder-Civil!

But while rumors say that the couple is about to remarry, the tattoo artist of the singer reveals that she came to see him asking to cover this permanent tattoo.

We don't know the motives behind her decision but she has a fwe options : to cover it with another design or to try laser treatment to remove the tattoo.


We might find out more about her decision after they marry again....or not.

Visitor trips and tears £80 million Picasso Painting!

A student viting New York's Metropolitan Museum of Art halved the value of a Pablo Picasso to £40million - after stumbling into it and causing a rip. The female student who will not be named, made a 6in tear in the lower right-hand corner of the painting. It is estimated that the painting can be fully repaired, leaving just a small line, but because of the damage, the value of the painting, previously estimated at £80 million will never recover and is now estimated at £40 million. It is a lot of money when you consider that she just lost her balance during the art class which can happen anywhere to any of us. Collectors are not really interested in painting or any objects if they have been repaired. The most valuable works of art are always in the state of origin, as intended or left by the artist.

Museum officials will not identify the student and they have confirmed that the 105-year-old painting will be fixed in time for the museum's Picasso exhibition in April.

No tattoo too young in Guernsey

Guernsey's Health and Social Services Department have released a statement to remind everyone that it is illegal to get a tattoo or a piercing before the age of 18.

The BBC tells us today that a 14-year-old girl had been off school after getting a piercing in her nose. Only piercings in the lower lobe of the ear (i.e. "normal" or "standard old fashion" piercings for earrings are ok). Any other piercing or tattoo before 18 is illegal and really the tattoo artist or piercing artist should know better and tell young people to live with the idea for a few years and then come back to the shop. Sometimes people think for years about their tattoos and where they will have it done before they go ahead and have it. At least then it is a mature decision and one that will not be a regret at a later stage. Considering it is quite expensive to have a tattoo removed, it's best to get it right.

I would definitely recommand to talk to young people about it and tell them exactly why it is illegal and not to be influenced by fashion or peers.
