Celebrity Tattoo Removal Retrospective: Pamela Anderson

Tommy Lee is a celebrity who is infamous for his tattoo removal; in the 1990's he had a swastika tattoo removed from his body. However, he's also well known for sparking the tattoo removal of another celebrity: Pamela Anderson. When the two were a hot item, Anderson got a tattoo of the name "Tommy" on her left arm. When the couple split, she went ahead and did a quick cover-up, turning the T to an M and walking around with "Mommy" on her arm. She ultimately decided that wasn't attractive to her either and changed the design again, this time to a barbedwire ring around her arm. The truth is that the change isn't particularly attractive either. Laser tattoo removal would have made a lot more sense than multiple cover-ups of the same tattoo. Since it was just a name and it was a single color, the tattoo removal probably would've gone smoothly and the tattoo would've been erased in just a few sessions.
