UNBelievable! Pharrell To Use Replicated Skin To Cover Tattoos

In an effort to create a more mature image, rapper Pharrell Williams has decided to get rid of his tattoos. However, he is using an alternative method instead of the laser removal.

In an interview with British Vogue, Pharrell revealed that he was going to have replicated skin cells placed over the tattoo to cover them. "It's basically like getting a skin graft, but you're not taking skin from your ass or your legs. These guys actually grow the skin for you. First you have to give them a sample of your skin, which they then replicate. Once that's been done, they sew it on - and it's seamless."

I'm not sure how covering tattoos with homegrown skin is seamless at all. Aren't there things that have to be worked out, like bloodflow to the new skin and stuff like that?

Also, I'm not necessarily knocking the procedure, but using it to cover tattoos? Doesn't it have more useful practices, like helping a burn victim recover, like the woman on Oprah today who was burned alive by her husband? It just seems like using the replicated skin method to cover tattoos is like using a shotgun to kill an ant; unnecessary.
