Innovative Celebrity Tattoo Removal: Pharrell Williams

Pharrell Williams is a rapper and producer who has also made a name in diverse areas of life ranging from skateboarding to entrepreneurship to his affiliation with the funk rock band N.E.R.D. At the moment, he's gaining media attention for a plan to get innovative celebrity tattoo removal. There is a new type of tattoo removal that doesn't really remove the tattoo at all but rather covers it up with new skin. It's a form of skin grafting in which the skin is being grown in a lab and is then essentially sewn on to the body to create new skin. This covers up the existing tattoos with the need for laser tattoo removal and apparently looks completely natural. Williams is doing this because he has grown tired of the tattoos that are on his arms and he wants to get rid of them once and for all. He's not against tattoos though. In fact, he says that he plans to get new ones on this new skin once the healing process is complete. Perhaps that will give him a chance to try out a different type of tattoo removal down the line in order to provide others with a perspective on what type of celebrity tattoo removal is best.
