Is Dakota Fanning adding a bit of dirt to her squeaky clean image with some body art? The Runaway star promised her mother she would never get a tattoo saying: “When I was like 11, [my mom] made me sign a contract and it says, ‘I will not ever get a tattoo,’ and it’s like the little X and a line and I had to sign my name….”

Dakota Fanning stopped by The George Lopez Show and after some wrangling from host George Lopez, Kat — who Dakota adores  etched a temporary cherry bomb tattoo on the clean-cut child star’s bicep with colored pens. Good to know Dakota is still on team wholesome. The tat  which should wash off in the next few days — is a tribute to Dakota’s role as rock legend Cherie Currie in her new biopic The Runaways.

Hello, you either have JavaScript turned off or an old version of Adobe's Flash Player. Get the latest Flash player. Jesse James' alleged mistress, Michelle "Bombshell" McGee, has lots of tattoos.

Kat Von D is a famous Hollywood tattoo artist. Paps put two and two together and figured Kat must have done Bombshell's tattoos, right?

Not exactly. In fact, the L.A. Ink star says she's never even met the woman who claims to have had an affair with Sandra Bullock's hubby.

What's more, she's never even heard of this skank lady. "I have no idea who she is," said Kat outside West Hollywood's BOA Steakhouse Thursday night.

Which kind of makes the follow-up question by the paps "Did you do any of her tats?" a little unnecessary, but she politely responded nonetheless.

"Hell no!" Kat answered with a smile before driving off. And so the search for the person behind Bombshell's body art continues. Or not.

George Lopez gets some interesting tidbits from his guests. Just last week we learned that Jennifer Love Hewitt put crystals on her moneymaker, and now we learn that actor Dominic Monaghan needs to be nude. Talk show host George Lopez chats with actor Dominic Monaghan and tattoo artist Kat Von D on "Lopez Tonight" Tuesday, March 16.

Actor Dominic Monaghan talks about his urge to roam around naked: "I do like to get naked.  LA is way too hot for me. When it's roasting hot in the summer I walk around naked..." Tattoo artist Kat Von D and her rocker boyfriend Nikki Sixx have something in common:  "I'm deaf in my right ear and his is like the opposite and when we go to bed we're like 'good ear down.'  The first time he was like 'I love you babe,' I was like who's Melinda?"

Soulja was worried he may cry during the ink session -- but judging by the number of tatts he's already sporting, we're sure he did just fine.

Last night tons of celebs (read: Kat Von D, Courtenay Semel, Shanna Moakler, Tom Green and Dylan McDermott) attended the opening of Brent Bolthouse's new club Trousdale.

Not sure if his former partners had something to do with it, but when Kat Von D is the biggest name you can get, isn't that a bad sign? Sorry Brent, but it looks like you're hurtin' without Sam & the rest of the SBE boys! Even Lady Gaga seemed embarrassed to be there!

Soulja Boy is making a special appearance on an upcoming episode of "LA Ink". In a newly-released preview video, the rapper who made his break with single "Crank That (Soulja Boy)" comes to Kat Von D and her High Voltage Tattoo parlor to have a new tattoo inked to the back of his left hand.

Although he already has numerous body arts covering his skin, the 19-year-old reveals that he wants to have his last name "Way" etched on his left hand so when both hands are joined, they would spell his name.

In the sneak peek, it can also be seen that the rapper admitted it will be the first time he gets a tattoo from a woman.
