Man has penis design removed to save his marriage

A man has come up with a rather unconventional way to win back his wife, it has been revealed.

Stuart Valentino, 34, was dumped by his partner, Samantha, after getting a large penis tattooed on his inner thigh.

Now he has launched a bid to win his wife back by getting the offending tattoo removed.

The hapless man had drunkenly etched himself with the 6.5 inch design, using a tattoo gun that Samantha had bought him.

His friend who was with him at the time had also agreed to get it done, but unlike Stuart, had changed his mind at the last minute.

However, after a series of pranks that Stuart had subjected her to, the tattoo proved to be the straw that broke the camel's back. After donning the unfortunate design, Stuart described how he was no longer able to take his daughter swimming.

Speaking about how the body art had impacted his family life, Stuart said: “I didn’t realise how it would hinder my life.

“We had just begun taking our three-year-old daughter swimming, and I could no longer get involved because it looked as though my penis was poking out.

He has now had laser surgery to remove the tattoo.

Stuart added: "This is my last chance to win back my wife and family. It was bloody painful but worth it. We argued non-stop. It would cost nearly £1,000 to remove, something that could have been spent on a family holiday.

"Finally last month, Samantha announced she couldn’t take it any longer, and left me."
