Man's 29 Miley Cyrus tattoos are ruining his love life

A 43-year-old British man whose obsession with Miley Cyrus prompted him to get 29 tattoos inspired by the pop diva says the tats are preventing him from getting a girlfriend.

So he's breaking up with her.

"People can't seem to see past the tattoos and it was having a very negative effect on my life where I felt trapped by them. I've just gone off her," Carl McCoid told the Hull Daily Mail.

McCoid has "Miley Cyrus" inked across his collarbone, a portrait of the singer with tongue sticking out covering the right side of his torso, another head shot adorning his left shoulder, and assorted Cyrus-related lyrics, initials and script scattered over the rest of his body.

Or at least he did. He's begun the long process of laser treatment to remove the tattoos, which he says cost him 2,700 pounds ($3,893) to have etched on his body.

Cyrus has not exactly been supportive. In an interview last year, she reportedly said McCoid's tattoos were "ugly" and "creepy."

But her No. 1 fanboy had already been growing disillusioned. He did not approve of her lewd on-stage antics and other "silly things." One day he looked in the mirror and Torso Miley stared back at him.

"I thought, oh my God, this has gone too far. When I look back, it was just an obsession that got out of control," McCoid told the Daily Mail.

He says getting the tattoos removed are 10 times more painful than having them inked, but it's worth it.

Now he looks forward to having dates where the topic of conversation is something else beside his tattoos.

Like his job, for example — running his own ironing business from his home.
