Not as permanent as advertised! Mark Wahlberg, Megan Fox And Peter Davidson are some of the celebrities who have chosen to have their tattoos removed over the years – and describe the painful process.

“I don’t want my kids to get tattoos,” Wahlberg revealed during a January 2012 interview on the Today show, explaining that he was slowly removing all “six or seven” of his designs. “And I wanted them to be [removed] by the time I did The fighter because putting on and covering up makeup has always been tricky.

The Oscar nominee, who had a famous Bob Marley tattoo on his shoulder, noted that he even took his two older children, Ella and Michael, to the doctors to see how “it hurts and what I have to go through” to get them out. (In addition to his two eldest children, the Father Stu star also shares Brendan and Grace with his wife Rhea Durham.)

That same year, Fox talked about her choice to ditch her iconic Marilyn Monroe design on her forearm. (She started the process in 2011.)

“Getting them isn’t that bad,” said the Transformers actress told Jay Leno on The tonight show in February 2012.

However, she described the removal as feeling like “your skin is exploding and looking like little popcorn kernels popping up.” They can’t numb it enough to make the pain go away.”

The Johnny & Clyde star commented that as a teenager she didn’t believe she would ever outgrow her tattoos. “I was stubborn and I thought I would love it forever or it would be a book of my life, all the things I loved when I was younger,” Fox told the late night host. “And that’s not it at all.”

Meanwhile, in May 2021, Davidson explained that his move from full-time comedian to acting led to his decision to have his tattoos lasered off.

“I honestly never thought I’d get the chance to act and I love it a lot,” says de Saturday Night Live Alum resigned during a performance Late night with Seth Meyers. “You have to get there three hours early to cover all your tattoos because for some reason people in movies don’t have that many.”

Davidson had over 100 designs all over his body when he started “burning them off”, which he says is “worse when they get them”.

In January 2023, the Soil actor appeared to have successfully removed the tattoos dedicated to ex Kim Kardashian. In photos from his trip to Hawaii, the ink on Davidson’s chest that read “my girl is a lawyer” seemingly disappeared, as did the words “Aladdin” and “Jasmine,” which referenced his and Kardashian’s SNL skit that sparked their romance. (Us weekly confirmed in August 2022 that the couple called it quits after getting together in October 2021.)
