50 Cent Rethinks His Tattoos

Curtis is trying to get his serious actor weight up, so he's ditching his kitchen tattoos.  Fiddy's removing his arm tatts because it takes too long to cover them up with makeup when he's acting.

50 says:

“I took ‘em off... I’ve been on a few acting projects and they been making me get up… My call time is four hours before the regular acting talent because of the tattoos.  I’ve got a project I’m supposed to be doing with Nicolas Cage, called The Dance, it’s a boxing film… it’s like my passion project and… when you’re a fighter you’re sweating and with a whole bunch of make-up on and stuff like that, it doesn’t look real to me.  I kept my back piece. I can’t take that off.”

Celeb tattoo artist Mister Cartoon spilled the tea on Bugsy's removal...

Judging by the pictures and the scarring, it looks like 50's been going through the removal process for at least a year and a half, maybe more.

Sounds real painful.  You really have to think about the future when you get ink'd.
