Who says tattoos are forever? Megan Fox is having her iconic Marilyn Monroe tattoo removed from her inner right arm and said its because shes growing up.
Im just over it, Fox told reporters after her performance in Montblancs 24-Hour Plays in New York on Monday. You outgrow things that you love when you were a child. I got it when I was 18 and now Im 25 and it just doesnt make sense anymore.
But the removal of something that was once so important to her isnt painless. Its a hundred times worse than the tattoo itself, she admitted. Ive only done one [session] so I probably have three or four left.
Although Fox has other tattoos, including a Shakespeare reference on her shoulder and husband Brian Austin Greens name on her hip, she wont put anything over Monroes fading face once treatments are completed. In fact, she believes itll be impossible to tell she ever had a tattoo at all. I think it will come off completely because I have the right skin type to remove ink, she said. The more fair skinned you are the easier it is to remove dark ink, and Im as fair as it gets. Tell us: Have you ever had a tattoo removed?
