Last week we reported on the fact that Britney Spears was making a television appearance in which she plays a receptionist working in the office of a tattoo removal doctor. It turns out that Britney might be able to empathize with the patients coming into this television doctor's office because she has reportedly had laser tattoo removal of her own.

SAWF News reports that Britney got tattoos about four years ago on the back of her neck. They were Hebrew letters that represented a few different sayings. They also report that those letters have now been erased after Britney paid approximately $2000 for celebrity tattoo removal.

There has been some speculation as to why Britney opted to get the tattoos removed. Some say that she's trying to clean up her image after all of the problems that she's had with the press in recent months. Others say that she feels like the tattoos are representative of a time when she was in control of her life and she doesn't feel that way anymore so she doesn't feel right having them. Another suggestion is that she just had plain old tattoo regret. The real reason is probably something only Britney is ever going to know.

Question of the Day: Why do you think that Britney Spears decided to get celebrity tattoo removal?
