Demi Lovato has been pretty vocal lately. She gave an odd interview about how her gyno asked for her autograph after an appointment. She dedicated her “Warrior” song to Bruce Jenner. And now she’s in a social media war with her former tattoo artist. Demi has several tattoos, but the one in question (a set of pink lips) happened when she was drunk (at age 18). Demi hated the tattoo (you can see it here), which looked like a vadge drawing. Now Demi’s covered the tattoo with this one ^^^^, a lovely rose. Demi is thrilled with the new art and dropped a #RIPvaginatattoo hashtag. You can still see the vadge shape if you squint, but this is a vast improvement.

Ashley McMullen, the original artist from yesteryear, is angry, and she started a huge social media war. You can see the interaction here. Ashley left a comment on Instagram about how Demi was ungrateful for the free tattoo, never gave credit, and peed on the toilet seat at the tattoo studio. She called Demi a “drunk a**” and “a goon” before adding a #drunkallthebeer hashtag. Demi tweeted and deleted a response that E! preserved:

“Dear Ashley McMullen, I wasn’t going to acknowledge your bitter Instagram comments but since your side of the story has picked up some headlines, I would like to share my thoughts and send you a proper apology. First, I would like to say I’m really sorry I don’t remember you or getting tattooed by you, but as you know I was f***ed up and sometimes people act like ‘#turds’ when they’re loaded. Second, I apologize for my ‘#peepeetoiletseat’… That wasn’t on purpose, I was simply a drunken teenage girl. Lastly, I apologize for making fun of your work.. But… if I were you, I wouldn’t claim that one because it looked more like an open vagina (or even a butt hole as my 8 year old little sister called it at the time.)

“I also wouldn’t be admitting to the fact that you tattooed a very intoxicated 18 year old on a tour bus without the proper judgment that most legit tattoo artists have of saying ‘Hmm… This underage kid is wasted, maybe I shouldn’t permanently ink a hot pink kiss mark on this girl’s wrist….? Oh well… F*** it, she’s famous.

“I can’t blame you for getting the tattoo, I take full responsibility for that but if the issue here is you wanting credit, maybe next time you should wait for the person to get your tattoo sober so they would actually remember getting the tattoo in the first place, or perhaps you could’ve thought about all of this as a blessing that I forgot everything about you — that was until you outted yourself for the now internationally infamous ‘vagina tattoo.; But you’re right, I should give credit where credit is due, and you Ashley, surely deserve credit for this one. #justputitonmytab.”

[From E! Online]

All that mud-slinging over a fugly tattoo. Is it normal for an artist to act offended when a customer covers up a bad tattoo? Please enlighten me on the proper protocol. This all seems so petty, and I can’t believe an artist would ink someone who was so obviously drunk that she’d miss the toilet seat. Then again, this Ashley McMullen once appeared on the Ink Master show, and god, she’s dramatic.

One more thing. Demi Instagrammed this 4/20 masterpiece and tagged Joe Jonas, who once accused Demi and Miley Cyrus of forcing him to smoke pot.

In honor of our former escapades, I thought you’d like this to remember your first blaze.. Happy #420 @joejonas. #disneyhighclassof09??????????????????????
