With a tumultuous public start to their divorce, Johnny Depp and Amber Heard are ending their 15 month long marriage.

Depp seems to want the world to know that his decision is permanent, etching it into his skin forever.

Depp previously tattooed the word "SLIM" onto his hand, which was a nickname he had called his now-estranged wife, Heard. Recently, Depp changed the "L" to a "C" and the "I" to a "U" spelling, quite obviously, the far less flattering word, "SCUM".

The change of tattoo has come about following abuse and drug use allegations from Heard and her team.

This is not the first time Depp has changed his ink to reflect his altered relationship status, once changing a tattoo dedicated to Winona Ryder reading "Winona Forever" to "Wino Forever".

A word to the wise: maybe stop dedicating permanent spaces of your skin to your fleeting partners, hey Johnny?
