Exclusive Video: Alex Pettyfer Shows Off His Raunchy Tattoos

Celebrity Style April 28, 2011 AT 5:21PM By UsWeekly Staff

Alex Pettyfer's mouth has gotten him into trouble lately, but this time it's the actor's body -- and the phrase he has tattooed above his crotch -- that really has people talking.

In the new issue of VMAN, the 21-year-old Brit strips down for famed photographer Mario Testino, revealing his ill-placed "Thank You" tattoo -- "in case I forget to say it," Pettyfer winks.

That's not the only ink on the Beastly star; Pettyfer also sports a cross on his chest, a black ring on his finger, Arabic writing on his arm and the phrase "What Goes Around Comes Around" on his shoulder.

Still, the actor insists he's not the reckless bad boy people think he is.

"I think my Wikipedia is full of bulls**t because I actually don't have anything cool or interesting to be said about me," he complains. "I've heard I'm called a bad boy, or difficult -- maybe that's because I don't take any bulls**t."

Seriously, magazines need to get their information right before they post anything - even little things like this. Alex was joking when he said he had Thank You tattooed on his lower stomach, really he has Alex written in Japanese. I guess actors can't have a sense of humor anymore.

During the â??Vmanâ?? interview there was obviously a misunderstanding: The â??winkâ?? was not supposed to be written down in the article, it was supposed to indicate to the interviewer that Alex Pettyfer was making a joke about his tattoo. He has in fact a tattoo on his lower waist. However, it doesn't say â??Thank youâ??. It is his own name written in Japanese Kanji Signs.

Um, yeah, but that tattoo, which is clearly visible in some of the V Man photos, clearly does not say "thank you", it says Alex in Kanji. US magazine fails again.
