It’s an unwritten rule that you should never, ever get a tattoo of or pertaining to a significant other.
While it’s wonderful that you think the relationship will last as long as the ink, there’s always a chance it won’t.
Then you’re left with a permanent memory of heartbreak, and that’s just a bummer.
Such is the case for Johnny Depp, who changed the tattoo on his four fingers from “SLIM” to “SCUM” recently. It’s believed that “SLIM” referred to his estranged wife, 30-year-old Amber Heard.
Depp is in the middle of a nasty divorce from Heard, who filed in late May.
The actress alleges that Depp was physically abusive towards her, and provided a few media outlets with photo proof.
Depp also blacked out a pin-up model resembling Heard.
This isn’t the first time Depp has publicly declared his love via tattoos.
When he was engaged to Edward Scissorhands co-star, Winona Ryder, Depp got “Winona Forever” tattooed on his bicep.
After they broke up, he changed it to “Wino Forever.”
Good one.
Depp is currently jamming out with his band, Hollywood Vampires while divorce proceedings drag on.
Ryder recently defended her ex-fiance to Time Magazine.
“He was never, never that way towards me. Never abusive at all towards me,” she insisted.
“I only know him as a really good, loving, caring guy who is very, very protective of the people that he loves. It’s hard because I feel like that’s my experience. And it’s been a very long time.”
Depp’s ex-girlfriend, Vanessa Paradis – with whom he has two children – also came to his defense.
The French star wrote an open letter, obtained by TMZ, which praised Depp and denied any violence in their relationship.
“In all the years I have known Johnny, he has never been physically abusive with me and this looks nothing like the man I lived with for 14 wonderful years,” Paradis wrote.
