Despite being a fake story, it's quite frankly just the opposite of the typical reaction ""empowered woman" getting revenge on pig/misogynistic/dirtbag/douchebag boyfriend for cheating on her". No?
Typically those stories involve the woman burning the bloke's clothes, or chucking them out of the house or similar. Whilst I would say that shouldn't happen (and would be grounds for a suit for damages), it is hardly on a par with permanent scarring (which is what would result from a tattoo of that size, regardless of what removal procedures are undertaken).
The story about the penis removal (which I brought up earlier) did receive wide condemnation, as did the talkshow that made light of the whole affair, and such condemnation is appropriate and just.

Welcome to humanity, please join the 'Life should be fair' line, its about a trillion people long.
But that said, how can you cheat on your boyfriend with his best friend, expect him not to notice, then get a tattoo from him?
I don't see this as a 'She deserved it' situation, its more a 'What did you expect?' one.
And lawyers? WHERE'S THERE IS BLAME, THERE IS A CHANCE FOR ME TO CLAIM A SMALL PERCENTAGE OF THE WINNING FEE!
Please cut the condescension.
Whilst it was not appropriate to get the tattoo from him (particularly as she didn't realise that he knew), and was a stupid move, it does in no way justify the bloke's actions. At all. Were this a real case, she's damn right to seek a lawyer. Any removal procedure is incredibly expensive and leaves a high chance of permanent scarring (in this hypothetical case).
I've had people cheat on me and betray me before, and yes I have been angry. However, I have never once thought of doing something that could easily be classed as
permanently disfiguring them, and frankly think that support for such actions is either people wanting to appear "edgy and cool" or borderline psychopathic.
