Russell Brand Marriage: Actor Discusses Tattoo, Katy Perry On 'Jimmy Kimmel' (VIDEO)

Russell Brand Katy Perry

Russell Brand dished on his recent tattoo session with wife Katy Perry on "Jimmy Kimmel Live" Wednesday night.

"It was her idea. It's always her idea," Brand said of getting inked together over Thanksgiving weekend."She's always scribbling permanent things on my body for a laugh."

Brand showed off his newly-inked upper arm, revealing a West Ham United team logo on a "candy cane swirl" background -- a tribute to his favorite soccer team and his wife, apparently. "There's a candy cane swirl that defines her aesthetic ideology," the British comedian joked.

And what tattoo did Perry opt for? "Just some peppermint thing," said Brand. "Nothing to do with me!"

Reports of a split emerged in November, but the couple were quick to dispel the rumors. Perry tweeted to let her fans know the reports were false, and Brand appeared on the "Ellen DeGeneres Show" last week, saying "I'm married to Katy perpetually. 'Until death do us part' was the pledge. I'm still alive!"

The couple married in October 2010 in India.

I can't wait for tattoos to go out of fashion. The human body is a miraculous thing and doesn't need "art" to make it more interesting. It's a vile practice that we need to outgrow.

Tattoos are not fashion and have been around for millenia in many cultures.  If you find them vile, simple, don;t get one!
