Why I Tattooed Viggo Mortensen's Name Across My Butt

Viggo Mortensen saved me from being completely miserable, and he helped me through several years of adult abuse. I have always wanted to tell Viggo "Thank you for making me smile at a time in my life when I was being beaten on a daily basis, and for giving me a reason to overcome this period in my life, to overcome tragedy and to triumph.

At the same time, it was 2001 and in the middle of The Lord of the Rings hype. Viggo cut off his fan mail, and I was afraid that I would never get to see him in movies again because I felt it was career suicide. I mean you have to put your fans in the stands.

I always wanted to say "Thank You," and I have an amazing butt that has made me much money over the years. As an exotic dancer on the Internet and on stages all over the country, I swore that I would help Viggo someway, somehow, so I tattooed his name on my butt. And today people in Brad Pitt's home state (or at least around my area) know more about Viggo than they do about Brad.

My 750 member fan club on the Net spreads the word every chance that they get!
