Infamous Celebrity Tattoo Removal: Tommy Lee

Tommy Lee, the Motley Crue drummer who is well-known for his relationships with Pamela Anderson and Heather Locklear, is a celebrity who once received a significant amount of attention for his tattoo removal. In fact, in his case, although the tattoo is gone, it still gets mentioned quite a bit. That's because Tommy Lee once used to have a tattoo of a swastika on his body. This celebrity tattoo removal, which happened in the late 1990's, was as controversial as the tattoo itself. That's because it was revealed during a court case in which Lee was being accused of assault against a photographer. The tattoo was visible during the court case which Lee's lawyer claimed would prejudice the jury against him. It was during or shortly after that case that the tattoo was removed entirely. In most cases, laser tattoo removal can get rid of a tattoo and make you feel as though you never had it. However, that's not always the case with celebrity tattoo removal. Even if the tattoo is gone, it's sometimes going to have lingering effects. Question of the Day: What other famous celebrity tattoo removal cases can you think of? photo link
