Howard Stern and longtime girlfriend Beth Ostrosky were married in NYC on October 3, 2008. Ostrosky received a wedding band by A-list bling designer Suzanne Wilson, while Stern had the initial “B” (for Beth) tattooed on his ring finger.
There is a long line of celebrity tattooed wedded-ringers preceding Stern’s move: Tony Parker, married to Eva Longoria in July, had their wedding date (in roman numerals) tattooed around his finger. Hulk Hogan, Pam and Tommy (RIP), Kathy Griffin, Ashlee Simpson, Jenna Jameson, Beyonce and Jay-Z, Téa Leoni and sex-addict recoveree David Duchovny are among others in the spotlight who consummated their marital vows through inking.
Levi Johnston, the intended spouse of Republican VP Nominee Sarah Palin’s pregnant daughter Bristol, tattooed “Bristol” on his ring finger as well, but it’s already starting to smudge - and as a self-proclaimed redneck who “doesn’t want children,” this ink commitment can easily be erased by the hot cherry of a cigarette on a drunken night with the boys.
It is estimated that the majority of folks seeking tattoo removal bear a tattoo that symbolizes a relationship that has come to an untimely end. This is Stern’s second marriage, and as he claims, his last. “I have found the love of my life,” he states. We’ll have to see if his ink commitment, albeit for cosmetic removal, holds him to that.
