Ewwwwww. Gross.

Filed under: Wacky, Tacky & True > Pharrell

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!

    i am so over them, their first album (the version with instrument) was so cool and original, this is just another sign of how incorporated and lame they have become

    Stop giving this Not so Far-Real guy your hard earned money to do some stupid thing like that. Let's tell these soon to be cell birds to grow up and do real people things. Teach them what it's like to have just enough money each week to buy grocery and gas, by not buying their silly records… therefore they wouldn't have thoughts of buying skin and sh*t.

    I like his tats….but it's his body I guess. It still sounds painful though.

    Re: detox

    You retard, he's not just having EXTRA skin glued on top, it's a skin graft - the tattooed skin will be removed, and replaced with fresh, un-tattooed skin.

    And if you're averse to skin clogging anti-perspirant, i recommend deodorant stones which are all natural and simply stop the production of bacteria which creates the BO smell. Also, perfumes don't have to be the filthtastic alcohol-filled shite you find in mainstream stores. Check out BPAL.

    yuck, what a pathetic little idiot pharrell is… damn! tats are for life, if you dont want them, dont get them.

    But a lot look generic, so I wouldn't say most are artists. Few are artists, many are technicians.

    Most people get tats for a sentimental reason. If these meant something to you at some time in your life , then keep them. Never second guess or regret your past. Tats are hot and will always be. They are a reminder of your past-something you never want to forget. Embrace your past, don"t cover it with manufactured skin.

    114

    Please, I beg you. DO NOT GET RID OF YOUR TATS! Fuck what other people think. Be your own person, for Pete's sake! No one else has those tats-they are yours alone. Don't conform to "The Man" and blend in like everyone else. You already stand alone with your music, and with your tats. Are you going to take back your music, too?

    He's being just plain silly! So you got tattoos big freaking deal?! I got one when I was 21 on a bet. Sure that was REALLY stupid and 25 years later would I do it again, probably not….but I just chalk it up to learning. It doesn't define who I am as a "grown-up". The upside though is my boys think I must have been "cool" at one point before i became a boring mom :)

    THE ART OF TATTOOING IS ANCIENT! THEY ARE A PART OF OUR HISTORY!! THEY ARE NOT A TREND!!! THEY HAVE BEEN AROUND SINCE MAN HAS BEEN AROUND AND THEY AREN'T GOING ANYWHERE!!! ONLY DUMB ASSES TATTOO THINGS ON THEMSELVES THAT DON'T MEAN ANYTHING!!! MOST PEOPLE'S TATTOOS ARE HIGHLY SENTIMENTAL AND MEANINGFUL!!

    I have a Palm Tree on my ankle and have for about 5 years now. I never once regretted it and know i never will. The thrill of it is gone, but now and then I look and it and think wow that is cute and makes my leg look so much more cute. I plan to get like two more tatts, for hardcore tattoo people my tattoo is lame. But it is an expression of me because I love palm trees. I will not get something that will be impulsive and therefore never regret it.

    pharell i love you,
    but this is rediculous. maybe you should have thought about the tattoos before you got them… they are part of your character. what are you trying to rid yourself of?
    too bad the skin or the money isnt going to people who were born with deformities or had their skin seriously burned.

    some people are foolish with their money.

  30. 130

    what a fucking poser. goes to show he only got them in the fist place to look "cool". fucking lame. this is why celebrities should never get tats just because they have the money to do so.
    my grandfather is 82 years old and wears his naked lady tats he got in the navy with pride. thats how you be a grown man .not having fake skin glued to your arms to cover up a "mistake"

    131

    Perez your a fucking goone, most people who get tatoos believe that they are art…like myself. I got my first tat when I was 18, my second at 21 and Im 28 now and hoping to get 2 more. If your a tool, like yourself…then yes, its a bandwagon. But for a lot of people, its art. Look at Kat Von D you stupid fuck, you think thats a phase?

    That's why you get tattoos for their meaning, not because they look cool. I have a tree on my lower back. Whenever I see it, I don't see style or something cool, I'm reminded of my family and my roots. I'll soon be getting a sparrow on my shoulder to remind me that everything happens for a reason.

    Tattoos are not a bandwagon, and it comments like that which make it a big fucking joke. Tattoos are a lifestyle. If it doesn't fit, and you want to get it to look cute, then don't fucking do it.

    Man up williams, just say you were being trendy and the trend is over… finally! Leave the art to the real artist

  42. Starf says – reply to this


    142

    That's gross! I also think it's irresponsible. That basically teaches kids that it's okay to be impetuous and meaningless tattoos because you can get them removed. I think tattoos are a personal expression of yourself. They aren't for everyone (ie. if you want a tribal armband or Taz, tattoos are not for you). I hate that this art form has become trendy. People need to think first. You need to make sure that you get something that you'll love forever (ie. just because your friends call you a "Pimp Daddy" when your 18, doesn't mean they will when your 30).

    I think its really sad how idiots who get tattoos can represent people who put care and consideration into their tats. I have five, and every single one represents a huge turning point or something very RELEVANT… no wall art… idiots who get tattoos on a fashion whim or general poor judgment give us all a bad name. They should be treated as art… as a reminder of the past and inspiration… its sad he didnt put enough thought into them so that he wouldnt have to get fucking homegrown skin sewn on his stupid ass

    he should have though about that before he got the "fire" in the first place! idiot. . .
