Pharrell Talks About Tattoos

N.E.R.D. star PHARRELL WILLIAMS is planning on spending hundreds of thousands of dollars on a new treatment to remove his many tattoos. The rapper-turned-producer is sick of the body art he has on his arms and has signed up to a undergo a new method of erasing them - which involves scientists growing skin grafts in a lab. Williams insists he doesn't care how expensive and painful the procedure will be - as long as it gets rid of the tattoos. He says, "It's going to be pricey, but fuck it, it's worth it. I got fire on my arms! I'm a grown man! "There's an institute called the Wake Forest Institute in North Carolina for Regenerative Skin Treatment. 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. "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." But Williams is already plotting replacement tattoos. He adds, "When it has healed you can go get whatever tattoo you want."
