Le sigh. That's my reaction to my terrible title and my inability/refusal to come up with something more clever. It appears that the foppish singer has done gone and got himself a tattoo--a full sleeve, to be specific. He was spotted by photographers leaving Katsuya in a black, long-sleeved hoodie. Aww, he and David Beckham are twinsies now! They're like two tough peas in a pod.
It's a shame he's not dating Kat von D at the moment. I have a feeling she'd probably have done it it for a shot of tequila and romp together in a bath tub. Her rates are on a sliding scale.

Is it even possible to get a full sleeve in one sitting?
Liz says:
I smell Ashton Kutcher and a punk'd thing happening here.
sweetangel says:
Mayer has many, many tats and had several on that one arm before getting the sleeve.
les says:
How unspeakably vile. Don't people like this know they will get older and that will look 100 times worse? WHY would someone do that to their body? And don't tell me it's art. Go buy a picture that will appreciate in value not look really bad in 20 years.

Full sleeve?
Really?
He doesn't strike me as the full sleeve type. Maybe a Pooh Bear & Honey Pot on his bum, but not a full sleeve
Bex says:
I could see him getting a tattoo, but in no way does he strike me as the type to get a full sleeve. Kind of clashes with the image he seems to have built up over the last few years.
Jane says:
Dude, if you're looking for a 'body modification', how about first considering a trip to the gym?
Lia says:
i think it suits him in an artsy kind of way.
Greg says:
I've got 1/3 of my arm done in a similar Japanese style - from the shoulder to just above the elbow - and that took 4 five-hour sittings. From the pics above, Mayers' is not complete. He's only got the gray work done and some red. To go from zero to full sleeve takes time.
jason says:
apparently, he got the sleeve done while in japan. he was on a trip, doing some 'soul searching', and was inspired enough to get a piece of work that reflects him in many ways... i have a 3/4 sleeve myself of similar japanese-style reflections, and i got it after a trip of a similar nature... i definitely understand him if this is indeed the case.
ed says:
LES, I think the thing is, in 20 years, he'll be 50 so he won't need to impress anyone or for it to look nice. I agree it's awful and I don't have any tattoos but I think little ones are alright. No way I'd ever get a sleeve. I'd wake up every morning and be like "WOAH SHIT IT WASN'T A DREAM!"
sylvie says:
It's a terrible spoilage of skin, I really dislike it on him, it just doesn't match his personality. ouch..
Frank says:
Who cares what you all think about a man who you don't even know.
Rick says:
how about the fact that none of u really KNOW him, in which case who are u to say it doesnt fit him or his personality.
Rick says:
how about the fact that none of u really KNOW him, and who are u to say it doesnt fit him or his personality. Or try and impose your preference or opinion of what is or isnt art, i actually like him MORE now
Rick says:
how about the fact that none of u really KNOW him in which case who are u to say it doesnt fit him or his personality. i like him MORE now for actually living HIS life and doing what HE wants to do to HIS body regardless of what a bunch of record executives have created & work so hard to make the public see/not see
