Marilyn Monroe/Reading stamps on chest

What's the story behind the Marilyn Monroe stamps? Is this a stamp they made custom just because it was a "Manics-esque move", it started in a photo shoot and they made it their trademark for a few gigs?

Kevin Cummins: Richey was always a delight to photograph - he would do anything I asked of him. On one occasion I bought a rubber stamp featuring a Warhol-style picture of Marilyn Monroe's face and he let me stamp it all over his body.
There's a lot more great info on his perspective of their aesthetic ("I loved the trash aesthetic of the band. It was all very obvious: Marilyn Monroe, Andy Warhol, and Jane Mansfield - tragic blondes.") and other photoshoots in the rest of the interview:
