Behold what is claimed to be the work of tattoo artist, Ryan L. Fitzjerald from Dayton Ohio – currently facing a $100,000 lawsuit from his ex-girlfriend Rossie Brovent who claims she was promised an idyllic tattooed scene from Narnia, but instead got a pile of crap with fly accessories.
Apparently Ryan found out that she had cheated with a long-time friend of his and this was his way of getting even. Originally Rossie tried to have Ryan charged with assault but it turns out this crafty tattoo artist got her to sign a consent form prior to the tattoo and it said that the design was ‘at the artists discretion’, she claims; “he tricked her by drinking a bottle of cheap wine with me and doing tequila shots before I signed it and got the tattoo”. “Actually I was passed out for most of the time, and woke up to this horrible image on my back.”
