Pharrell Williams Covering Up His Tattoos. Literally.

Pharrell Williams Covering Up His Tattoos. Literally.
Eww! N.E.R.D. frontman Pharrell Williams is having SKIN GROWN to cover up his unwanted tattoos. Something is just not right about that. Can't they grow ears on rats now to give people ear transplants? My grasp of current science is obviously startling.

Pharrell, who just played a show at the Harvey Nichols store in London to promote his new clothing line, has the skin cloning people on speed dial.

"It's basically like getting a skin graft, but you're not taking skin from your ass or your legs. These guys actually grow the skin for you," he explains. "First you have to give them a sample of your skin, which they then replicate. Once that's been done, they sew it on - and it's seamless."

First off, how big a sample? Are we talking a swatch or will like a piece of cuticle suffice? Secondly, UGH?
