You may remember Carl McCoid's name from when he shocked the world by spending almost $4,000 on Miley Cyrus tattoos.



Well, perhaps not so surprisingly, they're hitting his love life like a wrecking ball.



The Miley superfan says potential girlfriends can't see past the tattoos, and he can no longer have the best of both worlds. So he's decided to have the ink removed.



The 29 tattoos include her name, pictures of her face and even her autograph.



McCoid could blame the decision to remove them on love, but Miley herself does get some credit.



When she found out about the tats, she called them ugly and deemed McCoid "creepy."



Now he agrees with the musician, after seeing her face staring back at him in the mirror and thinking to himself: this has gone way too far.



McCoid calls his Miley love "an obsession that got out of control" and said the laser treatment to clear his body is 10 times more painful than when he got the tattoos in the first place.



Granted, he was able to handle his fantasy girlfriend calling him a creep, so this guy's pain threshold is pretty high.
