10 celebrities who regretted their tattoos and decided to erase them.
Here are some reminders that you have to think very well before getting a tattoo.
It's hard to know if you're going to like something for the rest of your life. Everyone hates coffee the first time they try it, until they learn the powers of the magical substance. And making the decision to get something tattooed on your body, only to realize later that you wish you hadn't, is a sentiment shared by regulars and celebrities alike.
Whether it's a couple's name that ends up cheating on them, something that was thought to be deep and doesn't feel the same way anymore, or a text that we later realized was, in fact, misspelled, celebrities are guilty of some Common mistakes when it comes to tattoos.
While some stars have decided to simply erase the mistake with a laser removal process, there are others who have chosen to cover up past tattoos, or have simply learned to come clean and live with their misspellings or poorly drawn designs. If you're considering getting a permanent tattoo on your skin, check out this list of 10 Celebrities Who Regret Their Tattoos.
10 Celebrities Who Got Terrible Tattoos And Totally Regret Them
1.Mike Tyson
This tribal art on Mike Tyson's face has become almost as famous as the boxer himself. Although it is a design that he made for himself, we cannot deny that despite being famous he looks pretty bad.
2. Chanel Magnet
Chanel has inked the back of her neck with a coat hanger and her name below it. She considers that she has a hanger to walk, so she got this tattoo on her neck. Iman succinctly explained the meaning of her tattoo to Harper's Bazaar saying, "You put clothes on a hanger and you put clothes on a model. So it represents being a model."
The meaning of it is clearly understandable but the execution was undoubtedly lousy.
3. Sinead O'Connor
We understand the artist's gesture with her faith, but the truth is that she has been criticized for the not-so-well-finished result of her tattoo.
4. Miley Cyrus
We just wanted to know what Miley was thinking when she decided to get that tattoo. Given the type of skin that covers the inner part of the lips, care must be taken with the designs that are chosen to wear. We are clear that this has not been the best decision for her.
5. Jessica Alba
Jessica Alba has quite a few tattoos, but there are only two that she regrets. One is a bow in the middle of her lower back that she calls "some kind of bum stamp" and the other is a bouquet of blue flowers on the back of her neck that she can't seem to get rid of.
"I have a few tattoos, and I regret one of them...maybe two...I got [the flowers] when I was like 17 and I'm so upset I got them. I've lasered it so many times and it doesn't come off." Jessica told Refinery 29.
6. Angelina Jolie
Before there was Brangelina, Angelina Jolie was married to Billy Bob Thorton, and the Academy Award winner showed her love for the actor by getting her name tattooed on her upper arm. However, after the marriage went south in the early 2000s, Angelina had the tattoo removed, according to Yahoo News, and then ended up with the coordinates of the birthplaces of her children and (now ex) husband. Brad Pitt instead.
7.Jennifer Lawrence
While it's faint, if you look closely at Jennifer Lawrence's right hand, in light reddish-brown ink it's H20. Yes, the chemical formula of water, and yes, the Oscar winner knows that the tattoo is misspelled. At a Comic-Con panel in 2015, J Law explained that she was dating Liam Hemsworth's family and they were all getting tattoos and decided that she should too.
"I thought, 'Well, I'll always need to be hydrated, so I guess I should put H2O in my hand,'" she said, as reported by Vogue. However, the 'Passengers' star later realized that the "2" in the design is too tall and she admitted: "I should have googled it before I tattooed it on my body forever."
8. Megan Fox
When Megan Fox was a teenager, she paid tribute to Marilyn Monroe with a tattoo of the actress on her forearm. But just a few years later, she had gotten over the ink on her and was ready to get it off, which ended up being quite a painful process.
“She was already over it. I got it when I was 18 and now I am 25. It is very painful. It is a hundred times worse than the tattoo itself. However, I think it will come off very easily and I'm not going to put anything on it. I have the right skin type to remove it, so I think it will look good," Megan told Vulture.
9. Justin Bieber
When it comes to tattoos, Justin Beiber started small, with the outline of a seagull on his lower abs that he told GQ his entire family received as a tribute to a book they love.
Today, the Biebs has literally dozens of tattoos on his body, but the most infamous might be on his wrist and look a lot like a pop singer/Disney star's ex-girlfriend. "I tried to cover his face with some shadow, but people still know it," he told the publication.
10. Kaley Cuoco
Like Eva, actress Kaley Cuoco had some permanent tributes to an ex-husband that she had to deal with when her marriage turned out to be less than, well, permanent. But unlike others on this list, The Flight Attendant star decided to cover the Roman numerals of her wedding date to former tennis pro Ryan Sweeting with some new ink, a moth with wings spread.
On a visit to The Ellen Show in 2016, Kaley revealed the simple reason she chose a moth: "Because it was big enough to cover the numbers... the wings. Big wings," she said. "It's just what I chose when I was there."
