Ex-Porn Star Permanently Scarred from Laser Removal Gone Wrong
Take a look at the deformed tattoo!
Connor Kline, also known as Brice Banyan became a popular porn star on many top gay sites in part because of his back tattoo, which reads “Born This Way,” which is the name of an LGBT anthem by Lady Gaga. In 2012 and 2013, he was at the top of the industry, nearly earning coveted Best Gay Porn Star of the Year at The Str8ie Awards

However, Kline’s tattoo went down the drain after he tweeted in 2013 that he’d never have sex with a black man. Now, six years later, Kline attempted to remove his most recognizable tattoo and instead, had the words etched into his back after a laser treatment gone wrong. In a since deleted tweet, Kline shared the photo with the caption, “Don’t get a stupid tattoo at 19. Laser removal sucks.”
