I don't care what you say, that's the mark of trailer trash, low class.

The saga of Danica Patrick (http://www.gunaxin.com/tag/danica-patrick)’s missing tattoo continues this evening, as we have new updates to report. When we first prepared our post of Danica in the 2008 and 2009 Swimsuit Issues (http://www.gunaxin.com/danica-patrick-si-photos/12263) on Friday February 13th, we noted then the fact that her tramp stamp (http://www.gunaxin.com/tag/tramp-stamp) was missing. We then followed it up with a more detailed exploration of that issue (http://www.gunaxin.com/si-photoshops-danica-patricks-tramp-stamp/12435) on Monday. Well even more information has come to light, so we felt it was time we update our readers on the latest. Darren Rovell of CNBC (http://www.cnbc.com/id/29241506) caught wind of our find, and took the investigation further. Apparently he has SI and Danica Patrick on speed dial, and was able to gather the following information:

Sports Illustrated (http://www.gunaxin.com/tag/sports-illustrated) acknowledged that the tattoo, on the small of her back, was taken out, but a spokesman didn’t comment as to why it made that editorial decision. Patrick’s tattoo was in the issue last year. As for Team Danica, it seems like they’re fine. “Danica is aware of the edits and is comfortable with the final photos,” BNC’s Lewis Kay told us.
So while everything seems kosher, as the parties agree it is a non-issue, we still wondered about this incident. As I mentioned before, you can debate the classification of Danica’s ink. Body art depicting an American Flag may exclude it from being classified as a Tramp Stamp. To me that is one thing that makes this situation so interesting. Did Sports Illustrated not give a second thought to the idea of editing out an American Flag from a model’s body? In addition, Darren notes that the tattoo appeared in last year’s Swimsuit Issue. While we have confirmed by looking at our own copy that you can see it, it certainly wasn’t featured prominently. We did however find photos on Sports Illustrated’s website from last year’s shoot (http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/features/2008_swimsuit/danica-patrick/index2.html) that have also been edited.
