Ville Valo on Tattoo Stories

Ville Valo of HIM talks about some of his tattoos.

[@lotstodo]

That is the most eloquent description of the reason people get tattoos that I've ever read. "The most graceful form of self harm out there." Well said.

[@Poopalapoopa]

he says "im engaged to a lady, and this is the initial letter of her name (the letter was a j, for jonna). its not a problem if we get divorced, it just makes you look sexier and youve got more stories to tell"

[@kristinemissy]

Then he would later remove it himself by burning his finger with a cigarette after they split up.

[@pitilessnightmare6879]

@@kristinemissy Ouch

[@SacredShores]

I like how he says "of her name" That would be awesome to be married to Ville Valo. Hell he's like the hottest sex symbol to me.

[@begothic2]

im glad he removed the "J" tattoo! but i looooooooooove all his tattoos! you rock ville!

[@CupidsPoison616]

Yup lol. I think its coz of the 'DILLIGAF' that he says its full of filth (it stands for 'Do I look like i give a fuck' just BTW) The other one it says 'when i love I love' God he has the best tattoos. Lol I LOVE the fact that he's a sensitive rock star!!

[@ashjamie]

wow, i figured he's been on tattoo stories. i wanted to hear the story of the full arm tattoo he's got going on there.

[@Darija]

Ahahah...You crazy,crazy people :) he's not a god,he's just an ordinary guy...A really nice and sweet guy...Hot...With a great voice...Damn you... XD

[@k0pitar]

Some of you might think that Ville's favorite writer is Poe, but his favorite writer is Finnish Timo K. Mukka whose face is tattooed on Ville's other arm that wasn't showed in the clip.

[@NiennaSeregon]

The American Version of Killing Lonliness

[@Laerlend]

Actually, I'm completely sure he doesn't believe in God, since he said so in several interviews. He actually said he was pagan. They just like to use a lot of symbolism in their songs, like 666 for negative stuff, etc. ;)Things like a crucifix/666/tec are just really strong symbols that have a lot of meaning..not just religiously, also psychologically. :)

[@alxjones]

One of the best singers ever.

[@42lacey]

He said he actually had the tatoo done before the video cause he wasn't sure if they were aloud to really do it in the video cause of the possible blood.

[@Littledragonlee]

With of without tattoos, Ville is still damn hot!!

[@pretenditsagoodworld]

I'm thinking of getting that heartagram myself, I just don't know were.. Loved HIM for years and Ville Valo is so damn hot.. my favourite band:)

[@hayleyfly99]

oh my god he is the hottest thing on this entire earth. and that is so true about his voice being sexier in finnish.

[@firecat182]

That's not very nice. Who cares if he lost weight, the music stayed the same and you really can't mess up his hotness. I kinda dig the facial hair

[@XanaXaquilinaX]

ville is such a nice guy... why the hell would someone do that to him? :S

[@futurepriestess2010]

Some of these he got covered up years later and added more.

[@darkspinesonic3]

Wow. I didn't even notice all the negative comments! Oh well, it was strictly opinionated. Thanks you for understanding where I'm comming from.

[@vmvv7678]

@DANiELLE1011000 he says: ''im engaged to a lady and thats the initial of her name'' (that was back in 2005-06 - he is not engaged anymore)

[@unbokser]

Im gonna get the heart ıts gonna be my first tattoo ❤️

[@alexanderstratulat5672]

done?)

[@AngeryInch666]

o.0 something i missed! well..i just heard that he got married on 6/6/06...sorry for false info.. and thank u for correcting me

[@AriesBG]

LOVE Ville,nobody can be like him!His tatoos are amazing,just love this man!!!

[@TajdaPersa]

yeah he was engaged like 2 years ago, but he isn't anymore.. come on, when did you see him wandering around holding hands with guys? i bet never. and someone who's gay does not get engaged to women... i mean kissing some guys on stage for fun/show doesn't make you gay... stop saying he's gay cause he ain't!!!! he's THE KING :D

[@PurplePunk17]

lol...The eyes...of Edgar Allen Poe...WOW!! thats scary but kool at the same time...I love all his tattos..lol...

[@SummerWine00]

i love his accent, it's becoming like. less finland (although that was also sexy) and more american with the random finnish accent thrown in, in some parts he sounds almost southern. i love his voice *droolz*

[@Amberlyee91]

he has said hes bi but with no male exp. he didn't actually have a relationship with jussi but there are pics of them kissing. however at the time they were taken he was with susanna.

[@Naberhaus]

What are all of the songs in this video? I know there is killing lonliness and wings of a butterfly, but what else?

[@SuperValo666]

well ville looks GOOD in any way

[@iiLynxii]

Holy crap, I got scared when he said "Of her name" really deeply cause my bass is up high and it sounded like a demon talking XD lol...Ville's an awesome/sexy man :D

[@bloodtalon27]

like a lot of people thinks he looks like depp!i recognized it on the pukkelpop concert.

[@firecat182]

I think I need to get a heartagram tatoo. I also like the heart on his wrist before the writing was added.

[@reaver87]

Oh really thats interesting about the dubbing. Really it doesnt matter because Heath changes his voice for most of his movie. If you really wanna hear what he sounds like just type in Health Ledger interview on youtube. I think him and Heath pretty much the same voice when talking normally. Its cool because Heath was also one of my fav actors and Ville Valo is awesome too.

[@Cynthiiiaaaa]

What's the song at 0:28? I can't find it, and i can't understand the lyrics so i couldn't look for it. xD But it sounds good..

[@talysonhenrique1531]

Alguém sabe o nome da tatuagem em seu braço esquerdo ?, Que está em todo o braço.

[@ReplicatorFifth]

unfortunatly, now that that band is famous no Wiccan can get the heatagram tattoo upon marrage without it being confused with the band. the heartagram is a symble on marrage... not yin and yang. it is love (the heart) protected by the elements (pentacle, fire, water, wind, earth and spirit) but I don't stress too much since his songs are all realated to marrage. Blessed Be

[@12jess01]

Fuck are you on about

[@MrsHolliValo]

How dare ANYONE make a mockery of a Ville video.. Take arguments of such nonsence back to sesame street where they belong.. ! Leave HIM lovers in peace.. and Ville as well.. I am quite sure he could care less who's mom does who....... if you are so bored plz go somewhere else.. PLZ

[@DasJulschn]

fuck, how I love this man....

[@nokturnal7]

IT'S ALL ABOUT THE MUSIC!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@daddysxgurlxHxC]

Ville Valo is fucking amazing(: In EVERY way :D

[@Magirk38]

I love this video. I especially love Ville's stomach tattoo! Ville is the sexiest lead singer in rock!

[@Jaydeey1985]

if i saw right...the girl tatooing his back was kat from miami ink. if so, she's awesome and im jelous she got to touch ville :O

[@LatoyaWashington-h9z]

My Ville Valo has an extremely beautiful face and extremely beautiful eyes, he's an extremely lovely man & my future husband.

[@daddysxgurlxHxC]

Their musics amazing and hes freeeeakin sexY((:

[@Alayna888]

that would be a great lyric

[@Gingagirl]

His eyes charmes me away *.*

[@copyright12222111155]

Cool crucifix. I'm not Catholic, but it's cool that one of the best lead singers ever believes in the same thing I do.

[@supporttruth]

i dont undersand this is a news to me ...its rediculouse !who would cheat on ville look at him !

[@KingyoOtoko]

Killing Loneliness.

[@illilillili]

Hey sk8ter in the Tibetan philosophy, Silvia Plat sence of the word we're all "dying".

[@SacredShores]

Wait I just noticed something in the beginning is he talking about Bam Margera?

[@trew00]

No, he's talking about a tatooist who was a guitar player as well, he actually played in HIM for a while.

[@laauuryytaa]

i adoooore him! oh he's so cute :)

[@z42O]

i love the tattoo on his whole left arm

[@ilovegerard77]

i kno i love it too

[@risika87]

OMG, thank you so much. This was great.

[@Diiwa17]

I love Ville's cousin, Carl. He's fucking amazing! hello, who's Villes cousin?! :p i know who is Ville very well!! :D:D

[@allxwrong]

@Cynthiiiaaaa killing lonliness

[@dianneckcu]

Depending on when that day he was born he is either one or the other. Ville as a stellium in Sagittarius (Moon, Mercury, Mars, Neptune). But the Sun changed signs that day in the morning. So depending on when he was born he is either a Scorp OR a Sag. There is no such thing as a cusp.

[@mooglely]

Ha! Edgar Allen Poe's eyes!! That's awesome!

[@cadfalladr]

I'm pretty sure it's because they're friends who like(d) to get drunk together and then went out to get tattoos together. ;P Though the heartagram was just Ville's idea and Bam liking it a lot and ending up sharing it, I think.

[@312anime]

im getting at least one of his tattos

[@KissofDawn2012]

I've seen this many times, yet it still gets my heart racing every time!! :p

[@AriesBG]

Love him!

[@SheenaBrass]

Killing Lonliness

[@punkroxyeva]

[@James29d]

it woz on kerrang it sayed ville valo has got lung cancer ...im not sure its true but thts wht i heard :S

[@MusicLover-ud2ur]

Happy Valentine's Day... ❤️🌹 😘 Man, where had you been for twenty seven years???? You're soooo bad!!! And I hate this!!! 💥💥💥

[@Gingagirl]

How can u NOT love him?? ;D Grrr...

[@PandoraLoca]

@panchito812 Silly, it's "Join Me" or "Join Me In Death" by HIM

[@TajdaPersa]

yeah he was engaged like 2 years ago, but he isn't anymore.. come on, when did you see him wandering around holding hands with guys? i bet never. and someone who's gay does not get engaged to women... i mean kissing some guys on stage for fun/show doesn't make you gay... stop saying he's gay cause he ain't!!!! he's THE KING :D

[@PurplePunk17]

lol...I heard from Bam radio that Ville and Joanna or whatever her name is...the 1 thats tattooed on his ring finger....got back 2-gether...and I wish it wasn't true cause of what she did 2 him....but as long as he is happy right?? RIGHT!!

[@Amberlyee91]

ummm kat von d has down all of the portraits on his right arm and she did the eyes but it was done before the video like he said. the egyptian flame and cosmic pope were done years before he even met kat. I think she also did the when I love I love words and the venis doom logo but I'm not a 100% sure.

[@corvinna]

It all get's intertwined with the belief in Satan, but really, they're just symbols...ying to yang, God to Satan, good to evil, dark to light, heaven to hell, up to down...there's really no point in criticising someone for their beliefs or the symbols they use.

[@thesacramentisHIM88]

I hope jonna isnt back my mom says im her twin heh i guess so but yeah we love the same guy but i would never hurt him like she did im not a bitch

[@bloodtalon27]

if ville is gay,he wouldnt have a girlfriend that blew his eardrum up!

[@firecat182]

How is a man drinking with his friends gay? Would getting girls drunk and taking advantage of them make him more mannly?

[@Fighter9876]

at :22 ville looks like he has a bit of a pudgier stomach.. I think thats hot. hahaha. Ville is the best!

[@NRobertAlexander]

I find it a bit moronic how everyone seems to be ripping off Ville's original tatts from Bam Margera to my ex girlfriend... But then again it's good for him to have ideas that travel so well. Maybe I should do what Joey Jordison did and cover my body with tattoos made with invisible ink!

[@rammelzem]

I dont think he is gay! but if he is gay I still love him too:P oooo thats the love which u always love!

[@Thesupernatyural]

that's cause he's a scorpio. we're like a swinging door of sexuality if you get my drift...

[@KJ6LL]

yeah i read something about the day he was born and i think that makes him sexier!!!!!!!!!
