Remember how your mother told you not to get a tattoo, that you'd regret it later in life? You know, because they're permanent and all. Well, at least in the case of Pamela Anderson, it turns out that mother's advice was right on. And, because Mother's Day is coming up, we'll take this opportunity to congratulate mothers for always being right about stuff.

Over the years, Pamela's got a lot of mileage out of her trademark barbed wire ink, but now that tattoo trends have changed -- and her skin is beginning to show the inevitable signs of gravity -- she's hooking up with Beverly Hills tattoo removal specialist Dr. Tattoff before things start to get ugly. Could it be that Pamela's ahead of the curve on the next celebrity trend: tattoo removal.

Just in case you weren't satisfied with the wide array of color contacts out there, either because you don't feel like they look natural or because of those silly instructions telling you to take them out once in a while, you'll be glad to know that you might have an option. A Toronto man nicknamed Pauly Unstoppable (of course) got an eyeball tattoo. Say it with me: EEEEWWWWW!!!!

Over 40 injections were made into the man's eyeball in order to turn it blue. Not just the iris -- the whole thing. The procedure was entirely experimental (and GROSS), and Mr. Unstoppable made a point to say that this was something and his tattoo artist had researched, and that nobody should try this until he finds out whether it will make him go blind or not.

Fantastic. Hope those blue (eye)balls are worth it, man.

So you've been dating your new boyfriend or girlfriend for a few months, and things are going really good! They totally "get" you -- you know? Like, for who you are. It's so perfect and magical. Plus they're smart, and funny, and so hot. Wow! This feels like love!

Next step: make your devotion permanent, and tattoo their name on your butt.

Actually, wait. That's a stupid, stupid, stupid idea. Do you know any couples that are still together that have each other's names tattooed somewhere on their bodies? Probably not -- because it's like signing a death warrant for your relationship. I'm not sure why -- maybe it's the constant reminder of the permanence of your situation, or maybe it's because tattoos do something weird to your brain that makes you freak out about commitment. But one way or another, if you get inked, you're breaking up.

Just look at Halle Berry. She had David Justice's name tattooed on her butt when the two were married in the 90s. Then, of course, they divorced. So, rather than have all her future boyfriends reading her ex's name every time they checked our her derriere, Berry got re-inked. The actress turned Justice's name into a sunflower, "because when darkness descends they close up to regenerate."

But, she adds, "I really wish I'd never had the tattoo in the first place."

Lesson learned.
