50 Cent & Pharrell Rid The Tattoos

50 Cent & Pharrell Rid The Tattoos
When I first got a tattoo, I was like 19 years old. Now I regret getting it every time I look at it. It is a constant reminder of the mind frame I had at that age and I definitely had no class (not that tattoos are classless).  It seems as though 50 Cent and Pharrell have the same sentiments as both of them are going through costly procedures to remove their tattoos. 50 Cent’s decision to remove his tattoos were based on the fact that they were limiting his film roles. Judging from the picture above, he is going through laser tattoo removal which is a painful procedure that removes the tattoo through multiple sessions of laser treatment. Lloyd Banks confirmed 50’s tattoo removal by saying:

“”I tell you one thing, that sh*t hurts more than getting a tattoo so I won’t be removing none of mine. But 50 started taking some of them off. If you look at his arms now you’re going to see it.”

Pharrell Williams is going through a new method of tattoo removal which involves scientists growing skin grafts in a lab.

“..You’re not taking skin from your a*s or your legs. These guys actually grow the skin for you. 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.”

Pharrell’s procedure is estimated to cost hundreds of thousands of dollars. All I gotta say is YIKES! That growing skin in a lab and sewing it on top your skin stuff sounds a lil bit suspect. I’ll let Pharrell go ahead and be the guinea pig for that…

  • I am removing a half sleeve, the pain level is the same as recieving a tattoo, that is without using numbing cream. The procedure is very fast it takes about 10 minutes to hit my whole forearm with no stopping. So if your considering laser tattoo...
