London: Jodie Marsh appeared on This Morning today to defend her love of tattoos. After becoming muscly and shrinking to a size four, the former Page 3 girl said other girls can’t get enough of her and, with no man on the horizon, she’s tempted, the Sun.co.uk reported.
Jodie said: “Girls love my body. I’ve got a lot of lesbian followers who tell me I’m hot.“In fact, I’ve had a lot of marriage proposals from women!”
Jodie has dated famous men including Max Beesley, Calum Best and Blazin’ Squad rapper Kenzie.
She also had a short-lived marriage to Matt Peacock, Jordan’s ex.But after being cheated on and used for her status, Jodie no longer trusts men. She said: “At the moment I’m quite happy just being single.
The glamour model turned bodybuilder, who has more than 100 inkings all over her body, was on the ITV1 show to debate whether body art is "tacky or tasteful".
Jodie, who has tattoos covering her entire left arm, told co-hosts Holly Willoughby and Phillip Schofield: "My whole sleeve is my life story in pictures...
“I’ve got things from my mum and dad on here, the Harley that I ride, a paparazzi camera.”And she discussed her most meaningful tattoo, which contains her nan's ashes.
She said: “I had her ashes crushed up into the ink and tattooed in to me and I feel like she’s with me forever now.”
The 33-year-old showed off the inking, on the back of her left leg, which reads “Little Nan”.Jodie added: “When I was given her ashes a lot of people said 'we buried them in the garden and planted a tree round it', but if I move house then her ashes are gone, so I wanted to keep them with me.
“So I said that’s the best way to have them with me forever."
And the redhead insisted she has no regrets about getting any of her tattoos.
But psychotherapist Marisa Peer, who joined Jodie on the This Morning sofa, said: “Everyone I know regrets having them. I see so many people who say I really wish I hadn’t had it done.”
Marisa, who is against tattoos and says they are "common and chavvy" told Jodie: “The problem I think is that it shows that someone is impulsive.”
Phil then asked her: “But what’s wrong with being impulsive?”To which Marisa replied: “As an employer I wouldn’t employ somebody who has a sleeve of tattoos, because it would say to me this is an impulsive person who doesn’t actually think ahead.”
She added that she wouldn't dislike someone as a person for having tattoos, but she believes people shouldn't do it, because most people regret it afterwards.
But Jodie, who said she would never get a "fashion tattoo", claimed body art is OK as long as it "means something".
She said: "(They are fine) when you get tattoos that mean something to you, like all of mine do, and they all have a purpose and meaning and a story to tell."
