Well, those are some explicit tattoos! Although I suppose it’s nothing you couldn’t find written on a t-shirt at Target.
UPDATE: For more information, here’s an interview with Michelle.

just to add my 2 cents. tummy tuck scars DO go from hip to hip, i have seen it personally in my old boss, showing me her scar, which went from her one hip to the other, she also had a breast lift and aug in that same surgery.
i’m not a fan of the tattoos for myself, but its her body, and she can do what she wants with it.
however, after reading her myspace blog, and reading her detailing how horrible these men that she’s slept with are, because they have wives, i dont get it. why she is now playing the victim. even if its only because of a sexual addiction, you cannot just blame the men. if someone kills someone because they are high on drugs, would they be seen as the victim because they have an addiction? highly doubtful, so why is she playing the victim when she’s sleeping with all these people?
…It actually scares me to realise that a lot of these comments are either amazingly judgemental or amazingly derogatory.
To be honest, this isn’t something I’d enjoy having done to myself – and it does make me ask a lot of questions – but they’re exactly that – questions, not judgements…
I don’t think her tattoo’s are a bad thing… then again, I don’t see them as a good thing, either. It’s a lot like a drug adict having needles tattoo’d on their arm – it’s more of a ‘why?’ than an ‘eew’. I understand that she is a genuine sex adict – but, isn’t there some times where you want to, at least, try to run from your addiction?
Her interview is certainly thought-provoking… a very interesting and brave woman, if I may say so…
I agree with RavenLacra. I myself cannot understand why anyone would get those tattoos, but I’m also not addicted to sex either.I respect her ability to talk about sex addiction because from what I’ve heard, it is a very valid thing. We can have our own personal feelings about it, but I think it’s absolutely horrible to prejudge someone based only on their modifications and their addiction. It’s not fair to her nor to humanity in general
i think what a lot of this “controversy” comes down to is that michelle has chosen to make her addiction, as well as her tattoos, incredibly public. even before she got posted on modblog, she had multiple journals all over the web detailing her addiction as well as publically humiliating the men that she had had sex with….if you choose to detail your health, sex life, or tattoo choices in a public venue, i think that it is fair to say that that is an invitation to open yourself up to scrutiny as well. i mean, if someone else posted her pictures, posted a biography of her, and posted her contact information up here against her wishes, that would be a very different story, and it would be incredibly unfair for people to be discussing her choices to the degree that they are.
for myself, i looked her up online because i was bored, and i was genuinely interested in the story behind her tattoos, and i was intrigued at how people had reacted so strongly to them, and if they would have reacted as emotionally to them if they belong to a man instead of a woman. however, i was surprised to see the absolute lack of cohesion between the interview she gave here and her other journal entries, and i was really disgusted to see how she has gone after the other people she has had sex with with such a vengeance…it’s one thing to own your own issues, but it’s another to try to start some virtual witch hunt against adulterous men.
personally i think that what it comes down to is this:
if michelle was dealing with her sex addiction, or even her lfe in general, the way the majority of us are (privately) and she unwillingly achieved the level of internet celebrity she has, that it would be entirely unfair and wrong for people to be posting the information that they have about her here. but she hasn’t, it’s obvious that she wants to provode discussion or interest in herself, otherwise she wouldn’t have a ton of public blogs and she wouldn’t be giving interviews all over the place.
it would be great if this was all some sort of viral marketing scheme for bisexual britni or something though, since i’m sure she’s drummed up a ton of interest for her in the past few weeks 😉
I always find it funny people who have been discrimnated against the most are the biggest discrimnators in their group.
I think that her tattoos are just that :her tattoos. Not mine, not yours , hers.
Gimme a break.
They stopped being “her tattoos” the second she made them so public. Anyone I show mine to is very well allowed to say and think what they want. Luckily, it’s mostly been very positive, but it doesn’t have anything patently offensive and self-degrading in it, and certainly nothing that I *need* to explain just to make it acceptable. Most definitely her choice, which I respect, but that doesn’t mean we aren’t allowed to judge her choice. And the major topic in this thread of comments is about the strength of the validity of those explanations.
If this was just about the tattoos, then it would likely look like the comments for the picture of the guy with “stupid” tattooed on his forhead a while back… that wasn’t pretty either.
What an idiot. That is beyond sad.
The Las time I checked Marrage was between a Man and a Woman. This little lezbo is dreaming when she is talking about be married to an adult film Actress. I don’t mind if you completely destroy any respect directed towards you with tattoos of naughty acts, But your little make believe union is silly and sad.
suggestion for next tattoo….”cum in my mouth” tattooed on your chin!
I read the article and think that it is open and amazing how honest and hard this woman is trying to fight her addiction. People always think of men and sex addicts……. But there are plenty of women out there that have the same needs. This is just one woman who is open enought to talk about it. Its her body and in teh end NONE of us can or should judge a beautiful woman for expressing a part of her that has affected her so deeply.
kisses and blessings
kissy~
i had a nightmere after reading this article that i was covered in negative tattoos, i felt like i was in a prison i had no chance of escaping.
she is damn fine, and i love her openess. such a turn on. more power to her
I was once told by a guy defending FGM that I was wrong to tattoo ladies as it was mutilating them.
It don’t get more whacked than that!
Trust me we all talk a good game, but in the end the body mod community is still made up of humans.
Of course I made be skewed as one of the nicest tattooed people I ever met was Stephanie Faranelli the lady know for having a penis necklace tattooed on her.
Shit, maybe just considering themselves married is enough for them? Especially considering I assume they are in America and can’t legally get married. If they are in a long term relationship and want to call eachother their wife then what the hell does it matter to you?
hypersexuality is a symptom of another underlaying disorder. she needs a psychotherapist. then again, that’s not news on this site. most of you extreme bodymod tards need professional help. i cannot wait for the day that suicide is considered cool and the ultimate expression of trying to separate oneself from the mainstream.
When I look at this women I feel very badly for her. I too struggle with sex addiction. I have had groups of men write neg. things on my body, b/c it does something for me. But all of mine washed away. And when it washed it away I could clear my head and be “normal” again. The words were part of the fix for me part of the abuse I NEEDED, when I got it i could move on. What I wonder is how she ever can get her fix and move on when she is constantly bombarded with the images. No high will ever last forever. Overall I just feel bad for what she has done to herself.
WTF? Shannon… where are these people coming from? (re: “Posted by shit on November 6th, 2006 at 3:58 am” and “Posted by carebear on November 7th, 2006 at 4:17 pm”). That’s just screwed up… MUCH more screwed up than anything Michelle’s issues have brought up.
Poster-children for abortion, that’s what you two are.
Let’s not kid ourselves. Did you read her stories? The woman definitely has mental problems. That’s an extreme addiction and disorder. The tattoos are only a visible marker of the same.
It is a very interesting interview about sexual addiction. I really respect the fact that she gave very honest responses.
I hope she finds a psych. that will help her. As much as I hate medication I think several medications can potentially help with this problem. I wonder why no doctors have made the connection. I believe this is a bio-chemical problem.
I hope she finds some kind of help. This breaks my heart!!!
Good Grief. I love her tattoos. It is something that I have only dreamed of having done to myself! She has done it! No regrets, no turning back. And proud to show it off! And YES, if the only reason for doing this is fetish so what? If she liked it, and wanted it, so what? I think they are very sexy and awesome. To let go and do something so dramatic to yourself is totally amazing to me. There has to be more kinky people who would love to have this done! Not just her and me! You know who you are! Love BETHANN
Our ultimate fantasy. If Michelle is in Toronto or nearby, we would love to meet her. We are experienced sex addicts and can arrange almost any kind of sexual fun including large gangbangs etc. Excellent!! [email protected]
I give her credit, she’s trying to overcome something. people who look down on sex, have a problem with sex, or anything on that level. get the f* over it. Sex is a part of live, some people express it more than other. Sex is supposed to happen. Thats it. I only say that because i odn’t understand the people who think it’s a harm or they are ashamed of talking about sex…obv. someone had sex to make them. Sex is an art, you need to have fun with it. If people thinks it’s gross she has those tattoos, it’s not your body. Maybe you shouldn’t be looking at it. you say she has no respect for her body, you have no respect for what she believes in. Her addiction could be much worse, at least she’s not causing violence and harm to other people. And she’s happy…thats all that matters to her. F* the world, if they don’t like it, don’t look.
This article was sent to me by a friend in the middle of this discussion about prostitution
(not implying anything here…at least I wasnt)
I found this article very interesting Michelle, I don’t have a sex addiction but I see something of myself in you
I can’t tell if you’re crying out for help or if you’re deliberately punishing yourself through the “hatred”/misunderstandings of other people?
I’ve often felt that self-destructive AND that powerful at the same time, leaving me wondering what was the madness behind the method
I admire you truth either way, very extreme but sometimes life is like that 😉

Hi Michelle,
This is a long ramble, but all of it thoughtfully considered. Let me begin with an opening salvo. You might chafe at this, but consider that this message comes from a sex-positive person who does not stand in judgment: it would be helpful for you to detach the idea of being a whore from the idea of having sex. Quit BUYING INTO that BULLSHIT frankly RIGHTWING ideology. As long as the pleasure you get from sex derives from your feeling like a whore, you are never going to have a sex life youcan feel good about. I am not making a blanket statement here about everyone in the world, but a statement geared as specific response to your blog postings. And, no, I am not saying you have to stop having sex.
To me, feminism simply means believing that women are people, equal to men. That said, girl, you have the right to make whatever choices you wish, and my message today does not stand in judgment. There is no moral issue here. There is, however, the issue that you have an intense amount of emotional distress as a result of your sex life. That’s where the problem lies, right? There’s absolutely nothing *morally* wrong with wanting to have sex with everyone you meet. As with drinking or anything else, it’s a problem *if* it causes problems for you. You obviously know that it has cost you plenty. What’s confusing is that in your blogs and interviews you rocket back and forth between talking about wanting to change your approach to sex, going to Sex Addicts Anonymous, being miserable and considering suicide, to defending your right to fuck whomever you want and bristling at any negative response you receive. This ISN’T about rights. You’re distracting yourself from the issue, part of addict behavior… Considering the amoung of pain you admit to–crying in your car after fucking 6 guys who laughed at you and didn’t say goodbye–why does it surprise you that people would react with dismay? It doesn’t mean we’re all sex-negative. Personally, I came across your story because I was googling Britni to see what she’d been up to in recent months. I’m sorry to see she’s apparently been going through some hard times. This situation is clearly difficult for everyone, including but not limited to you. Domestic violence? And what about your kids? I see some suprised reactions that Britni would feel betrayed by your actions, considering that she’s herself a swinger and an adult actress. But clearly, this is about honesty–lack of it, rather. I feel sorry for you (and sorry if that sounds patronizing, as I don’t mean it that way) that you don’t seem able to see the contradictions in your own statements. Or–sorry again, because your pain *is* palpable–the selfishness inherent in all of this. Though, the extent to which you’re hurting yourself mentally (as per your own statements) is the chief concern that needs addressing. NOT because I stand in judgment but because YOU say so. I don’t think you’re going to be able to change things if you keep viewing the situation as one involving rights. Here’s the thing: everyone has the right to fuck–who cares?? At this point, I wonder if going to swing clubs helps or hurts…if one is trying to halt a heroin addiction, one does not do heroin. But maybe the swing clubs are like methadone for you. If so, okay. It’s not necessarily like you need to stop having sex, anyway. Sex under honest circumstances might not be the issue. May simply be that you just need to stop fucking the people that you feel like shit about afterwards. That shouldn’t be hard because, as I just said, it doesn’t necessarily mean a moratorium on sex. The thing is, you keep saying this is all about ***SEX*** but your own words suggest otherwise. The thrill of dishonesty or something might be at the root…many addictions are as much about underlying causes as they are about the action itself, as you probably know from your therapy. And you really DO need (for yourself) to *******stop thinking that there’s something special or unique about the ability to fuck.******* Nothing special about it at all. We all do it. So what? That’s what your tattoos convey–that you think there’s something magical about the fact that you have orifices and like to use ‘em. But, you know, we all do. It’s not a big deal, frankly. It’s the height of bizarreness that you were surpised that the guys in the 7-way were calling you “filthy whore.” All that means is that THEY CAN READ. Look, cover up most of the tattoos. With solid black and purple stripes or whatever! Now THAT would be original. It’s not that you should be ashamed of being a sexual person, it’s just that there’s really nothing original about it. Right? I’m sure there *are* original, unique, special aspects to you, and I wish you tons of luck.
Rock on Michelle!!! Do what you love and love what you do!!! For all the people who posted negatively about this girl, you are most certainly entitled to your opinion, however what a mundane and pathetic world you must live in.
Minds are like parachutes people……..they only work when they are open!!!
I’m thinking of getting “I’m a complete twat!” tattood on my face. It will be really funny and I’ll never regret it!
Those tats will look great on a 70 year-old wrinkled and saggy body, huh? Somehow I don’t think they’ll have quite the same appeal then. Too bad there’s no spell check on a tattoo needle. “Slutt”? Oh well, I guess anyone using the salesman’s entrance won’t be too preoccupied with spelling. Most adults couldn’t spell their own name these days.
I’ve been there …….. though I do not have any tattoos ….. after many mistakes in my life and feelings of complete failure, I, for years, engaged in self-destructive behaviors because of self-loathing …….. ultimately, I had to forgive myself and had to learn to love myself again ….
I’d hit it!

Oh, the irony runs as a river off this comment! Mr. Pot, meet Mr. Kettle.
Frankly, it just scares the shit out of me! Plain and simple…
It’s not about the tatoos, dumb fucks. It’s about the pain.
WHAT EVER YOU DO IS YOUR BUSINESS……YOU ARE 3 X 7 OR 21…………………HAVE FUN
crazy tattoos my dear.
I’m sure your hurting and thats terrible BUT…. lets just look at the bright side for a second.
1)You are in a relationship with a woman I have paid good money to see do her thing. Damn, she’s fine!.(You just have to see her and maxx hardcore.)
2)You have a husband AND a wife! O.K maby not such a +
3)You still have all your hair
4)Your tits don’t sag.
5)And what must be the most important thing for you (being so self promoting) You are almost FAMOUS. I have to admit honestly, I have looked at the pics on the main page of B.M.E for the better part of 5 years and not once, till now have I ever wanted to know more about the person behind the picture.
Now, I am sure you will deny you are searching out fame but I bet it’s an aspect of your personality.
Your wife is hot…
Always look on the bright side of life….. da dum……
I admire her braveness. She is a role model for me and so many other sluts whom i proudly call Sisters.
Sassy Sativa.

I’ve been to Nathan’s and I will continue to go cheer’s to them . As far Michelle it’s her body do as you wish . It’s crazy but cool as well
She says in the article that she has spent time in mental institutions. I wonder why???
The fact that people call them degrading is sad. Why is a woman expressing her desires, explicit or not, degrading? Isn’t it just liberating? Yes I know she feels trapped by her desires sometimes (don’t we all?) but the tattooes are a way to own her body, own her impulses, just like cutting. A woman wanting sex isn’t degrading and just because she tattooes “Fuck my whore pussy” instead of “Make love to me” doesn’t mean she is degrading herself or has a lack of self-worth.
MICHELLE IS TOTALLY HOT…ANY MAN OR WOMAN LUCKY ENOUGH TO SPEND SOME TIME WITH HER SHOULD CONSIDER THEM SELVES LUCKY…I WOULD LOVE TO HAVE THE CHANCE MYSELF
Well, I got to about comment 75 before I started getting a headhache. Being rather mouthy and outspoken, I’d like to state here: I have read the article where Shannon interviewed Michelle about her tattoos, meaning, and lifestyle. Read the article, it’s very interesting. Now, to add my opinion. Don’t pity/feel sorry for/hate Michelle. So she’s a sex addict with ‘potentially degrading’ tattoos. I have naked ladies tattooed on me. That’s considered ‘old school’ and ‘classic’. Get over it. I think her tattoos are an admirable way of dealing with her addiction; as well as an interesting form of self expression. Saying they are ‘sick’ or ‘pathetic’ or ‘an invitation to rape’ is just ridiculous.
…she’s doing what countless millions of others would love to do but haven’t the courage to do so.
I draw the line at any harm to any other person, but otherwise….leave her alone, it’s her body, it’s her life and those are her choices.
here’s a deal; she won’t make choices for you…and you won’t make choices for her.
who among you is so perfect that you qualify to be her critic or censor???
Ugh, this is one vile slag. She should just do the world a favor and kill herself immediately.
she looks stupid. i dont feel sorry for her at all.
Slut has two “t”s
hrm…
Bikram’s Yoga would help her with her sex addiction. ~_0
Just a thought…Maybe tattoo ‘Poser’ on your forehead? The work alone isn’t very good…the font is poor. It just seems like you’re trying way too hard. I’m guessing another, oh, 10-15 years, you’ll end up lazering many of them. And the Scarlet Letter attempt…all I can do is laugh.
Hmmm I guess ill sandwich the last post .while I understand that every1 has there own opinions …it;s just to bad for people like Mikya Rose and everyone else that takes such a pitiful hateful attitude towards others off of assumption based pyhscic guess’s as far as your knowledge of tattoos your lacking she chose a nice bold hard lined font that will stay tight and legible through out the years. P.S. lol (Poser) is the silliest remark out of all ur statements she has ink in her skin (dude) that is not a Poser. & P.P.S> to Krauzen – I have a date set to have a big a Swastika placed on my forearm and my head is shaved I happen to be white (& a jew)plus i have big rainbow tattooed on my face and no one calls me fag and Ive never had a women doubt my man hood, one day in this life or many.. many.. down the road some of you (what I would consider Hater’s) here will See the light but for now u can all fight for you space in the shadows.Fuck man I have to admit I am a hater of haters so maybe im no better than all those punck bitch ass mother fuckers here that choose to spit poison .damm back to the drawing board lol ~_0 6969
She is bold. Bold is good. Life is short and everyone will pass. I think she is attractive for her brazen ways.
fast forward [?] 25 years from now:
“Hey grandma show us your tattoos again!”
I guess its ashame Michelle didnt try to get treatment for her sex addiction. Then decide afterwards if she still wanted the same tattoos.
She is a very pretty girl any man would be very lucky to be with.
I guess each to their own, so long as Michelle is happy with her decision thats all that should matter.
