I guess the thrill really is gone. Star Magazine, the journal of record when it comes to tracking celebrity ho-bags and their whackjob boyfriends, is reporting that Charlie Sheen had a tattoo of Denise Richards’ name erased from his wrist last week. He’s now wearing a wristwatch in a pitiful attempt to conceal the bulky bandage where a laser was used to blast the ink from under his skin.

This is one more reason why you should think twice about having your loved one’s name tattooed, branded, or otherwise stamped into your skin. Johnny Depp probably felt like a real dork walking around with “Winona Forever” on his scrawny shoulder, and I can’t tell you how many times I’ve been glad my folks didn’t let me get Gwar’s group logo tattooed on my forehead in high school, even though I was sure that would boost my “bad kid” school cred like crazy. The erasure is a painful and irrevocable sign that Charlie and Denise are quits. She’s probably just relieved that he didn’t have the thing re-worked into some “DIE DENISE DIE” tattoo out of Cape Fear.
