Ewwwwww. Gross.

Filed under: Wacky, Tacky & True > Pharrell

pharrell.jpg

Pharrell Williams revealed to British Vogue that he's using a revolutionary procedure to rid himself of his tattoos.

Tats just don't 'go' with the grown up image he'd like to project.

But, forget the painful laser procedure that could scar!

He's going to have replicated skin cover his tats.

The N.E.R.D. front man said, "It's basically like getting a skin graft, but you're not taking skin from your ass or your legs. These guys actually grow the skin for you. First you have to give them a sample of your skin, which they then replicate. Once that's been done, they sew it on - and it's seamless."

It's expensive…but that's irrelevant says Pharrell.

Isn't it nice to have $$ to throw round?

"It's going to be pricey, but worth it," he says. "I got fire on my arms! I'm a grown man!"

We're sooo glad we never jumped on to the tattoo bandwagon!

    The fewer tattoos in the world, the better. He can do whatever he wants. OTOH, I hope that dog is photoshopped and not really dyed red. Even if it's not poisonous, why the fuck do we have to dye animals??

    thats too bad because his tats were SOOO hot!!
    they made him look that much more finer.
    whatever, he will still look sexy as fuck without him.

    that dog is not dyed. that is P-H-O-T-O-S-H-O-P or something. probably akin to this weird technology found on the paris video here :

    If you think you might ever get to a point where you don't like your tattoos…THEN DON'T GET THEM IN THE FIRST PLACE!!! Nothing more annoying than people who get their tattoos lasered off (or covered with skin). Cover that shit up with a better tattoo, but removing your tattoos is cheap and douchebag-y.

    "Grown men" have been getting and keeping tattoos for many many years…A man doesn't become a "grown man" because his skin is kept virginal…a man becomes "grown" because of the sum total of his life experiences, not because he did or didn't get tattoos…

    Of course you didn't jump on the 'tattoo bandwagon' Perez… Wouldn't want anything to interefere with that unrelentant unsexiness.

  27. Tats says – reply to this
    27

    Good choice, Perez.

    Tats have become so mainstream and boring. When every dork in the universe has one, they are hardly "alternative" or subversive.

    That said, there are some gorgeous works of ink art out there, and some really original stuff. But what kind of "cool statement" are you making when pretty much everyone else is making the same statement?

    If you're gonna get one, make sure it's something really cool and original or at least make sure you're loaded like Pharrell so you can get it removed "painlessly."

    My cousin had a small heart tattoo between her thumb and index finger. She's been applying compound w to it periodically and now it's almost gone.

  31. super says – reply to this

    Not everyone who has tattoos does it to be "alternative". Some people appreciate the amazing ability tattoo artists have with 14 needles. Every decade it seems that people have something new to complain about. Why not just let people decide to do to themselves what ever they choose? So many people waste energy concerned with what everyone else has. Be happy with yourself and enjoy the sunshine.

    WTF had Pharrell been smoking??!! His tats give him his own personal image. He should have thought of that shit years ago. That shit is going to the extreme. He thinks he's in a real life sci-fi film, calm it down negro.

    That's got to be the most unhealthy thing I've ever heard. Wonder where we get cancer? Shit can't get out of your skin that accumulates in your body. Cover it up with another set of skin and see how quickly he starts to look jaundiced.

    The sooner we stop being obsessed with looking clean and actually BEING CLEAN…well…we'll live in a different world. It's the same thing as eating like shit while wearing stinky anti-antiperspirant. If your diet rocks, you don't need anti-antiperspirant. What's anti-antiperspirant do? It keeps the chemicals in your lymph glands that need to come out. Your skin is your biggest excretory organ…cover it up with another set of skin - no matter how well they line it up - I'll bet you the shit gets ugly quick. Gross.

    And all of you who are just itching to make a 'dirty hippie' joke, I'm no dirty hippie - and you're obsessed with synthetic smells to cover up how gross you really are. Smoke cigarettes, drink, eat fast food and then buy the shit corporate America tells you to so you'll smell like the crack of a magazine's ass. Talk about a mind meld.

    I've been a fan of your website since the very beginning. Even before theinsider.com called you the most hated website in Hollywood. Your website used the be the first with every big and small gossip story. Nowadays you're late with even the small stories not to mention the big ones. This story has been on every website and you're late…. Get your act together man!

    Tattoos are so over. People who got them were so stupid. All they say is that you are trying too hard to create a personality where none exists…and the "personality" that you have created is that of a piece of trash. Good luck to all your poor fucks trying to get them off!

    I wanted a tatoo sooooo bad when I was in college, but my parents said they would stop paying for school if I got one. I am so grateful that, thanks to them, I don't sport the ever-so-popular, late 90's tramp stamp! Thanks mom and dad!!!!!!

    I'm not into tattoos, but i love Pharell and my advice would be to just wear long-sleeved dress shirts and change his look all together. Forget all that tattoo removal work.

    I honestly can't believe some of these ignorant comments. For one, yes tattoos go in and out of style like every other trend, but regardless tattoos have existed (as far as we now so far) for 4000 years (ex.: the ice man found in italy). Honestly we all descend from the people who have inhabited the world for millions of years, what the fuck do you think they all looked like? They had stretched ears (and other places), and many tattoos. Getting a tattoo for some is to jump on the bandwagon, to make a statement, or yes create a personality like some of you said. But in the end besides all that bullshit, a tattoo is and should be completely personal and no ones fucking business, regardless of having one or '65 million'. Personally I have 6 large tattoos and plan to get more because I think they're beautiful. I think those who said some pretty ignorant things about them (including you perez) should jump out of your ignorant little boxes and just LET PEOPLE BE PEOPLE. You more than anyone should know about wrongful and unfair judgement Perez. Remember the whole Emo thing in mexico you were condemning and talking about how awful it was? How they should be left alone and wear what they want? Practice what you preach Perez.

    I think people should just take more time to consider what they're getting, people get stupid tattoos because they get them before thinking about it! Tattoos for many people represent their stories and things they've learned in life, those are the really amazing ones. Don't hate on the people who really take the time to get a beautiful peice of art because you've seen the people who really didn't think in the first place and got a shitty tattoo. Fucking biased people, all of you.

    someone made that up. this procedure does not exist.

  60. 60

    Really, all you need to do is think about it before you get it. I personally don't think that people who take tattoos seriously are "young" or "immature", I think that they show being comfortable in one's skin. I have one tattoo, on my foot, and I waited to get it for four years (one and a half after I was legal to) and it means the world to me. It's something I will never regret getting because I thought about it for such a long time and made sure that it marked a time in my life to look back on. I plan on getting more to commemorate differ things that happen in my life and I'm not going to be ashamed of it. (Probably because I won't be picking something off of a wall.) Maybe he should have thought about it harder…or maybe he needs to realize that it's not on your arms or legs that makes you a man, it's in your character and how you treat the people around you.

  61. 61

    So, people need to think when they're getting tattoos rather than getting their lovers name because "like we're so in love". If you get something tasteful in a area that is easily covered, it's not bad. And instead of getting someone's name or initials, get an object that you like that reminds you of that person. That way, after it's over, you can say you got that nautical star, butterfly, skull, what-the-fuck-ever because you like them.

  74. 74

    It's a shame there is no such thing (yet) as a vocal chord transplant or a brain transplant. That would really make all of his skin grafts worth while.
