Man gets tattoo of girlfriend's name; claims it got him the sack (she is called Isis)

Man gets tattoo of girlfriend's name; claims it got him the sack (she is called Isis)

When Kirk Soccorso and his (now ex) girlfriend decided to get each other’s names inked on their bodies four years ago, he didn’t think that much of it.
The New Yorker explains: ‘She (his girlfriend) had this idea… Let’s get each other’s names tattooed. My name Kirk is four letters and hers is Isis…’

He admits he was ‘unaware until recently’ that the acronym referred to the terrorist group Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS), as well as being the name of the Egyptian goddess of love.
But, he says the homage inside his lower lip came back to bite him when he showed it to a couple of his colleagues at the Home Depot store in New York.
He overheard one of them chatting about ISIS and pulled down his lip to show them the tattoo.
Kirk, who’d been in the job as a tool demonstrator for six months, believes this is why he was later sacked.
However, a spokesperson for Home Depot told News 12 his dismissal wasn’t based ‘just on the tattoo’, but due to ‘a personnel issue’.
Either way, it’s another good reason to always think before you ink guys.
