Does anyone know why James's tattoo is always blurred on TV?

Because it is offensive.

Since we have this thread open, I just want to say that I still don't get the brawny tattoo. It makes no since to me.

Thanks Guys. I don't know why they don't just put a band-aid on it on something.

Actually, they DO make him wear band aids. I see them on the live feeds.

Not sure why they would also blur it on the show.

They make him wear bandaids over the most offensive parts of each tat. Guess they don't want our eyes shocked or something. But they take the additional step of blurring them for the show if they are clearly showing.

Why would they pick someone they had to go to that much trouble for? Why?

The tatoos are the least of their troubles with James.

a band-aid is sufficient to cover the one on his shoulder... and he does wear that daily. But the one on his chest would require some serious body strapping...

Isn't their slogan something like "Prestigiously strong" or something.
I think it has to do with the size of the paper towels and the giant Brawny man.
It's silly.
Obviously.

I think if anything it should say "pretentious".

Here's a video of James on the show, Parental Control. He takes off his shirt to show the parents his tatoo.

JAMES ON MTV'S PARENTAL CONTROL

His tatoo says, "Pretentious C***"

I saw all the tatoo's...what's wrong with the 2 horses one? Also what's wrong with the one on his right arm with the guy with a smoke in his mouth? Maybe I didnt' see them close enough.

Prestigious.
or Prodigious.


I swear...I think that word changes.

But in the picture of it in his bio (link above) it is obvious it doesn't say Pretentious.

Is the one with the Brawny guy and the Prestigious C tattoo the name and logo of some band?
James has some of the absolute dumbest, yet clearly unique tattoos I've ever seen.

Maybe James doesn't know the meaning of some words.

It's definitely "Prestigious C..." You can see it and the other one in its full glory here:
http://oddandstupid.com/BB9/James/bb9_james_myspace_photos_1.htm

I dared to google the phrase and it's used in, ermmm, descriptive literature here and there, so I don't think he got the word wrong.

Miz, for the one on his arm it's mostly what's in the thought bubble that's offensive. I haven't seen a tattoo with horses in it.

I couldn't see the thought bubble.

The horses are one on the left and one on the right side of his lower stomach. They're both standing up on their hind legs.

I'll check our link.

Is that a dog in the thought bubble?

You can see the horses in the link you provided. They might be unicorns.

I've read that the thought bubble is a sex act...taken with the priestly figure...and ummm, a statement on the scandal of the church.

That GOD tat on his butt actually says: I'm God.

Oh those things, I couldn't work out what they are, but yes, I think they might be unicorns... maybe. I don't think he covers them does he?

I wish I could make out that word on the side of his chest. It looks like something german but I can't read it.

There are two people in the thought bubble. Both pointing in the same direction. One is slightly inclined. That's all I'm saying!

I made a mistake in my prev. post. The word under Brawny is "Prestigious" not "Pretentious." Sorry for any confusion.

James sure looks different in that video than he does now. I wonder how long ago the show was. It was just recently on MTV, but I don't know when it was taped. What a shocker..another wannabe actor on BB.

For quite awhile I thought James' chest tattoo was a character of the alphabet from an Asian language, and maybe it had a deep meaning for him.

When I saw a clear close up of it and finally noticed it's really just a bow, I was a bit disappointed. And now after these few weeks, I realize he really is shallow. IMO, riding around the country on a bike when you are financed is a bit easier than holding a real job and having responsibilities. It must be cool to pretend it helps humanity as a whole.

I think James is very well meaning, but he's got this whole big idea in his head without any specifics. Not shallow, he just hasn't thought it through. I can't help but like him, but he just doesn't see what he's doing doesn't have much point to anyone but himself. Oh, and the whole "crazy" thing isn't as crazy as he thinks it is, but a lot of young folk are like that. Hope that's not too harsh, because he's actually my favourite person in the house, despite his temper.
