Celebrity Tattoo Advice - Should I Tattoo

June 11, 2015 17 CommentsGeneral, Tattoo AdviceBy Dr Greg Hall

TV and movie stars are also giving advice about tattoos. Many celebrities have tattoos and their fans frequently copy them because they believe their tattoos are sexy, cool, macho, or trendy. Celebrities are also getting tattoos removed, and this new trend is usually not getting the media attention it deserves.

Mark Wahlberg was on the David Letterman Show discussing his tattoo removal experience.

Take a look at this video. . . skip to 4:00 minutes or so

Here is Kelly Osbourne. . .

Take a look at the video of tattoo removal on the tattoo removal page.

In other news. . .

Ozzy Osbourne had this to say to his daughter Kelly Osbourne about tattoos:

“I doubt anyone’ll notice because every other f-cking kid on the beach will have the exact same thing. They’re so common, they ain’t as special as they used to be.” When his daughter Kelly said she wanted a tattoo, he told her, “Take it from me, you’ll grow up to regret it.” He was right he continues. “Lo and f-cking behold, she regrets it.” (Kelly had 15 tattoos removed by laser) “It’s all well being a hot chick with ink, but when you’re 60 and your spider’s all faded and wrinkly, trust me, you’ll wish you’d never have done it.”

please excuse the language, but its a direct quote.

Megan Fox is removing the ‘Marilyn’ tattoo

This isn’t exactly advice, but it looks like Megan Fox (The Transformers movie) is getting her famous Marilyn Monroe tattoo removed. Photographers, who don’t miss much, have seen a noticeable fading in the Marilyn Monroe tattoo on her right forearm. She has had no comment, but the fading is undeniable. Too bad everyone doesn’t have access to the money it costs to remove tattoos. It’s really easier, and cheaper, to put a little more thought into it. One down, and three to go. . .

Here are some other celebrity tattoos, or celebrities as tattoos. . .

There’s no way to honestly ansewr most your questions because how effective (quickly) the laser works seems to vary from person to person. Some people only need 7-10 sessions and their small tattoo is pretty much all gone with no scarring. Meanwhile, another person might still have a blotchy faded tattoo with noticeable scaring after 10-12 sessions. One of my friends paid over $3000 for 12 sessions and her tattoo wasn’t even half gone. She did say it was pretty painful, but the laser sessions don’t take long, so they’re over really fast. The scarring she got looked like skin pigment destruction. She’s got an olive skin tone (she’s Italian) and the area had countless small spots of bleached white skin that wouldn’t ever get darker again. My advice would be, make sure you have the money to finish it if you start it. The last thing you want is to get 10 sessions in and half a heavily aged faded tattoo that needs 4-8 more sessions then run out of money. Then you’re stuck with a horrible looking tattoo that you hate instead of one that atleast looks nicely done that you don’t want.Go ahead and plan for the worse and hope for the best. Also, please..do NOT waste your money on those tattoo removal creams. They do not work.

tattoo removal cream?HI, i got a atttoo 3 weeks ago that the guy just completely messed up some of the lines just don’t line up and one side of the wing is pointed and the other side is round so there’s really no fixing it, anyways i looked into laser removal and it’s like 1200+ so i started looking into at home methods the ones i see with the best reviews are tat b gone and atttoo off i was wondering if any of you guys had any experience with these and what about that tca treatment anyone ever do that? thanks guysi already talked to a guy about fixing it and the outline is blue so he said he’d have to do it in black to fix the lines but that would totally change the look of the atttoo, it’s just like jennifer nettle’s and i definetely don’t wanna cover it up i’ve been waiting forever to get it, but he told me if i could just fade it a little then i’d have more options color wise

I do agree with all of the ideas you have presented in your post. They are very convincing and will certainly work. Still, the posts are too quick for starters. Could you please extend them a bit from next time? Thanks for the post.

  well first things first. these pelope who are telling you to never get a tat probably had what we call a drunk tattoo. (told someone to tattoo them while they were wasted off their asses) NOW on to my question. you ever see how tattoo artists have so many tats all over them? wouldnt that just suck if a tattoo artist himself wanted removal? im guessing one arm is gonna cost as much as a used lambo lolz

  i personally hanvet had it done yet but I have alot of close friends that have. They do say its much more painfull then the actual tattoo procedure (about ten times more painfull) and is a bit pricey. However the question you need to ask is can you stand looking at the piece for the rest of your life? Theres other alternatives such as a cover-up. As far as sessions the best example I can give is I know a cat that had his last name across his back. Solid, dark black. Done with high quality ink after one session its now light enough to easily cover. And another thing to take in consideration is that even though extremely painfull it is over in about 2 seconds literally. Hope this helps!

mother daughter tattoo ideas

Remarkable issues here. I’m very happy to peer your article. Thanks so much and I’m having a look forward to touch you. Will you kindly drop me a mail?

“Dr. Hall’s book is a must read for anyone with a tattoo or is considering getting one for the first time.”

Marty Miller, President/CEO Miller Public Relations, LLC
“As a forty-nine years old woman, my decision to get a tattoo was far from impulsive.

However, my husband and soulmate has been diagnosed with terminal cancer, and I wanted to have some permanent record of our love, after he is gone.

Since, as part of his treatment, he will be undergoing Radiotherapy, he would be left with a small and very discrete tattoo or two himself, (in order to ensure the tumor is targeted properly). So after some consideration, I thought it would be a nice touch to have the identical marking tattooed on myself, to express my commitment to support him until the end, and to remember him afterwards. If, by some slim change he is cured, it would be a memorial of a difficult time in our lives.

I was highly delighted to come across a website, that clearly and without prejudice, gave advice to those who were contemplating making this permanent change in their lives.

After reading all the information provided on the site, I decided that a cost of 99 cents for the book was entirely reasonable, as it would not do any harm to have as much information as possible.

I am glad I made this purchase, as in among was a short passage suggesting that if you were considering getting a tattoo, in remembrance of someone close who had died, that you think about whether there weren’t far better ways of expressing your love, and whether you would really want a permanent reminder of your loss.

It suddenly hit me, that there was a significant risk that it would interfere with my ability to grieve and move on.

Thanks to this website and book, I have avoided making an irreversible decision, that not only might I regret, but could cause me significant emotional damage.

After all, I can always reconsider the decision, NOT to get a tattoo, at some later date, when I am in a less vulnerable state of mind.

Thank you, thank you, thank you.”

Su Mitchell
“Dr. Hall – I wanted to thank you for writing “Teens, Tattoos and Piercings.” It is clear, comprehensive and compelling. As the mother of 4 children – who definitely does not want any of them getting a tattoo or piercing, other than ear piercing, you have given me a powerful and non-judgmental tool to talk them out of it.”

Shannon Jerse
“Tattoos: Should I or Shouldn’t I?” was very easy to read and contained a wealth of information. The book really made one think about the ramifications of tattoos, all the way from health concerns to possible impacts on employment. I also appreciated the tone of the book; it did not tell you that you should not get a tattoo, but focused on directing you to make an informed decision. Parents should seriously think about having their teenaged children read this book and discussing it with them.”

Sherman Moon – IT Specialist
“If you are planning on getting a tattoo, or multiple tattoos, do yourself a favor “READ THESE BOOKS” so there will not be any unpleasant surprises. It is definitely better to be “safe than sorry”. There is information in this book that will help you make a wise decision as to “tattooing” and even the tattoos you might choose that will be with you forever. This book could be one of your best investments if you, or someone in your family is planning on a life that includes tattoos. GET THESE BOOKS!”

Tony Whitaker – Inspirational Speaker & Counselor
“Just finished reading your book, “Tattoos: Should I or Shouldn’t I.” I found it to be not only an “easy read” but also, inviting to the reader, highly informative and very thought provoking. It raises questions the vast majority of people with tattoos as well as those contemplating getting a tattoo never dreamed of considering. Given the demographics of those getting tattoos and the possible consequences of an often “in-the-moment” and seemingly benign decision, as an educator, I would strongly recommend that Tattoos become a “must read” in today’s health classes or information on tattoos become a part of our school’s health curriculum at the very least. The information you provide could prevent unnecessary regret and hours of untold pain, both physical and financial.”
