50 Cent Takes Off His Tattoos

From the moment 50 Cent was known, he has been tattoo-ed up. The rapper has recently gone through procedures to remove the visible tattoos from his body, mostly from his arms, to better accommodate his burgeoning career in Hollywood. Lately, he doesn’t seem to want the ink any more… well, sort of.

“I took some of the tattoos off because on the movie set,” Curtis said. “If we got a six o’clock call time, I have to be there two o’clock the night before. I gotta go through four hours of make up before we go ahead and play the role. So, I just took it off my arm. My right arm.” His famous full backpiece displaying a huge “50” and the word “Southside” done by famed Los Angeles tattoo artist Mister Cartoon is still intact. The rapper will star in an upcoming film called “Streets Of Blood,” alongside Hollywood heavyweights Val Kilmer, Sharon Stone and Michael Biehn.The drama portrays the street gangs and corrupt law enforcement in post-Hurricane Katrina New Orleans.

It seems like tattoos are no longer in fashion.
