Foreign Tourists Barred Getting Buddhist Tattoos In Thailand

BANGKOK-THAILAND
Thailand’s Culture Ministry says foreign tourists should be barred from getting Buddhist tattoos while visiting because the practice is culturally insensitive.

Culture Minister Niphit Intharasombat said in a statement that his ministry has been receiving complaints from residents that tattoo parlors are etching sacred images of Buddha and other religious images onto the skin of non-Buddhist visitors across the country.

“Foreigners see these tattoos as a fashion,” Niphit said in the statement posted on his ministry’s website Thursday. “They do not think of respecting religion, or they may not be aware” that it can be offensive.

Thailand is mostly Buddhist, and Buddha statues and images here are considered sacred objects of worship. Millions of foreigners visit the Southeast Asian nation annually.

Niphit said his ministry had called on tattoo parlors nationwide to halt the activity. According to the country’s government news agency, NNT, he also asked provincial governors to “inspect tattoo studios and seek their cooperation.”

NNT also reported that Niphit is pushing for a law banning the practice.

However, Ladda Thangsupachai, director of the ministry’s Cultural Surveillance Center, said Thursday that tattooing religious images is not yet illegal under Thai law.

7 Lines of Tori Spelling Expression Through Tattoo

A first trimester pregnant, Tori Spelling has been spotted on Tuesday tanning at a pool in Palm Springs, California and revealing a written 7 line tattoo on the left side of her body.

Journey with me my love

and I promise you my heart

and I promise you my soul

for my bounty is as boundless

as the sea and my love as deep;

the more I give to thee, the more

I have, for both are infinite.

The love vows are dedicated, of course, to her husband Dean McDermott, who already has four tattoos in honor of his wife. Two of the tattoos he have got included the text “Truly, Madly, Deeply, Tori” and another one is of her face, tattooed on his biceps.
According to omg!, the 37-year-old actress got the tattoo in the same period that she got pregnant. She is due to give birth in October.

The couple already has 2 children together: a boy, Liam, who is now 4 years old, and a girl, Stella, who is 2.
Spelling and McDermott will celebrate their 5th anniversary this Saturday.

Tori Spelling, who will always be known for her role in the popular TV series, Beverly Hills 90201, is no the only ex-alumn to become a parent. While she is to become a mother for the third time, ex Beverly Hills colleague, Ian Ziering, who played Steve in the series, is a dad for the first time. Last week his wife Erin Ludwig gave birth to a beautiful baby girl named Mia Loren Ziering. The actor was so overwhelmed by the turning his life had that he laid a sensitive, full of emotion text on Twitter saying:

“Well, it's official, I'm a dad! As I sit holding Mia, Erin sleeps the most beautiful sleep. My thoughts race with visions of a brighter future, only made possible by what happens today... or, last night! God bless us all!

The couple Spelling – McDermott will have the same joy in October. Until then, let’s leave Tori Spelling to her tanning ritual with her pretty pink white and black bikini.

Megan Fox Removing "Marilyn Monroe Tattoo"

Hollywood hottie and Armani muse "Megan Fox" is supposedly having one of her most prominent tattoos removed, a portrait of screen legend Marilyn Monroe, from her right forearm. Dozens of websites posted photos of the actress with husband Brian Austin Green at the Jaguar Event in New York City, where the actress appeared to be in an early stage of the removal of her tattoo. Megan Fox's tattoos play a pretty significant role in her bad-girl image. In 2009, the vixen was quoted saying, "Every time I get a tattoo, it’s a little f*** you to anyone who tells me not to...if I ever lose a role because of my tattoos, I’ll quit Hollywood and go to work at Costco.

Considering Fox has always been insistent that she cared so little about what the public thought of her image, it's a surprise she would feel the need to have her tattoo removed. Maybe it's just a personal matter. Perhaps she felt Norma Jean had wronged her in some way.
