Rocker VILLE VALO has hit out at a smoking ban in his native Finland, branding the policy "c**ty". The Him frontman is disappointed by the government's decision to bar smoking in public places - including the country's restaurants and bars - which came into effect on 1 June this year (07).

[8] Many fans of the band have heartagram tattoos or tattoos of other HIM emblems (such as the single heart on Valo's right wrist). Fan-submitted photos of such tattoos decorated the lyric booklet for the limited edition of Dark Light. Ville Valo has allowed his close friend, Jackass star and professional skateboarder, Bam Margera to share the license on the image and Margera is accordingly entitled to use it for his promotional purposes, for |
