Details Emerge on Jesse James’ Lover, the Tattoo Model

Until yesterday, few knew who Michelle “Bombshell” McGee was, unless they were tattoo lovers who purchased certain magazines where she served as a tattoo model. The moment word got out in the media that she’d been having an affair with Sandra Bullock’s husband, Jesse James, she started receiving plenty of attention, which also means she’s been giving plenty of interviews (story via here).

Gathering details from websites like Radar, SoCal Glamour Girls and her MySpace account, it would seem that Michelle is quite the opposite of what many might have been tempted to believe about her. For starters, the 24-year-old brunette, though covered in tattoos from head to toes (literally), was born and raised Amish, and has a Masters degree in biochemistry (or at least was working on one at some point). She’s also the mother of two young children and, as per testimonies from her neighbors, is a very quiet and nice girl.

“With all these tats, you might think I was a big partier. Sure, I get really wild […], but I’m actually a graduate student in college […]. I’m working on my Masters Degree in Bio-chemistry in the Cal State system and already have my BS in biology,” Michelle herself wrote in her bio on one site. “Age: 24 Height: 5′5, Hair Color: Black, Eye Color: Blue, Body Modifications, Tattoos, Piercings: Many tats, no piercings,” another description says of her.

Radar did some digging on Michelle and came up with the following: “McGee, who calls herself ‘Michelle Bombshell’ shared the surprising news during an interview at the Miss Ink Contest in Las Vegas, in which the heavily tattooed model was competing. ‘My parents are very conservative,’ McGee said. ‘I grew up Amish but left the church when I was 16 – I never looked back. I moved to LA and got tattooed.’ McGee says that after she left the church her parents turned their back on her, ‘My parents don’t talk to me but that’s OK, I have good friends’.”

As we were also telling you earlier today, in light of McGee’s story going to press in one US weekly, Sandra Bullock has reportedly moved out of the family house and is planning to file for divorce. For more on this, make sure you keep an eye on this space.
