For years Megan Fox has sported a Marilyn Monroe tattoo on her inner arm but the image is suddenly fading into obscurity.
The Transfomers actress got the tattoo as a warning “not to let myself be treated so badly by the film industry so that it breaks me down.”
According to the actress, over time the vibe changed for her, “It is a negative character, as she suffered from personality disorders and was bipolar. I do not want to attract this kind of negative energy in my life.”
Fox isn’t the first celebrity to have a tattoo removed. Angelina Jolie removed a tattoo of Billy Bob Thornton, Charlie Sheen removed Denise Richard’s name from his body and Paris Hilton also removed a tat honoring her ex Nick Carter.
The laser process to remove unwanted ink is anything but quick. The tattoo is bombarded by pulses of highly concentrated light that break the ink into tiny fragments, which are then cleared away by the body’s immune system. The process requires multiple treatments to achieve the desired results.
Fox, who married Brian Austin Green in June 2010, continues to sport other body ink, including a back tattoo in Old English text from Act V, Scene III of Shakespeare’s tragedy King Lear, “We will all laugh at gilded butterflies.”
