While Kate Gosselin is busy promoting herself on television with
The View, her ex-husband is keeping busy with a tattoo. The
Jon and Kate Plus 8 dad has revealed that he recently got inked for the sake of a new chapter in his life. Even though Jon Gosselin feels it's a step in the right direction, the public just doesn't agree.
And by that we mean his former girlfriend Hailey Glassman.
Kate Gosselin Returns to Co-Host The ViewThe 33-year-old Jon Gosselin talked to
Radar Online about his new body art. "I have planned this tattoo for years now," he said. "I wanted something that resembled a rebirth or a change in me."
What's depicted on the
Jon and Kate Plus 8 star's back is a Korean dragon. It was designed at Never Say Die Tattoo parlor in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania.
"The dragon is all encompassing. It has all parts of the zodiac," Jon Gosselin explained.
This decision for a new path is also marked by a change in manager. The reality TV dad just hired Canaan Rubin, who revealed that Jon Gosselin is certainly doing what he can to turn his life around.
"He has been actively exploring ways to better his life, become a better father, boyfriend, ex-husband, friend, business partner, everything," he said of his client.
But while his people are backing him up, Jon Gosselin still can't avoid butting heads with some people. His ex-girlfriend Hailey Glassman openly mocked the
Jon and Kate Plus 8 dad and his tattoo.
"I think congratulations are in order. He has successfully turned his back into an Ed Hardy t-shirt," she told
Radar Online. "It's what he always wanted [to look like Ed Hardy]...so mission accomplished!"
Still, there are eight people who disagree with Glassman. Jon Gosselin showed the tattoo to his kids and he was happy to admit, "[T]hey love it and think it's cool!"
Will Jon Gosselin Return to TV?Well, we probably can't say the same for Kate Gosselin. But this is Jon's choice, even though sources say he only did it because his girlfriend Ellen Ross told him to.
