Was just watching an episode of tattoo fixers and there's a girl on there who had a huge MJ memorial tat on her back. The guy tattooing her also had a MJ tattoo. I also work with someone who has MJ tattooed on their shoulder.

I mean, would people feel ok with having had Rolf Harris or similar tattooed on them?

What are happening to these tattoos? Do you think a lot of people have had them removed?

Curious to know what people think about this...

I'd guess they feel gutted and angry. I had enjoyed his music for years.

One of my children's godparents has a tattoo she deeply regrets - I'm glad she told my kids and showed them. It's not that bad. It's a small arty thing that's changed shape and faded over the years. But MJ - you'd want to get rid of it surely?

ZoeCM you’re right, I remember that now you’ve said it. He is so guilty, often abusers see their abuse as some form of higher love like pederasty and like the ancient Greeks and appreciation of the male form etc and explain it away like that. Which is in line with the book that was found in his locked stash. I just cannot believe how anyone would be taken in by it and thinks the accusers are after money.

Grown man takes children to bed who aren’t his, while his own children sleep alone, has several child friends over decades, is shown in a documentary holding hands and cuddling a child not his own in an inappropriate manner, and people still think it’s more believable that they just want money. To people who think he’s innocent, you’ve been groomed. If I had a tattoo of him I’d be asking myself why I was so keen to make excuses for an abuser.

Too right. I don't know why MJ fans can't see it.
