Tattoo artist Ryan Fitzgerald, of Dayton, Ohio, was hit with $100,000 lawsuit by his ex-girlfriend for inking a steaming pile of poo on her back. Rossie Brovent claims she sat for a scene from Narnia, instead leaving the studio with the smelly image you see here. In Fitzgerald's defense, he claims she signed a letter of consent stating that the design was "at the artist's discretion." Brovent apparently cheated on Fitzgerald with a long-time friend. Regardless of the full story, let this be a lesson not to mix ink and love. Scratching out an ex-lover's name, however, is far easier than solving this mistake. [Early Onset Of Night]
