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. “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.”

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. . .
