After her whirlwind engagement and subsequent marriage to former tennis star Ryan Sweeting fell apart, The Big Bang Theory actress found herself at a tattoo parlor trying to "right her wrongs." What were her wrongs you ask? Getting her wedding date tattooed on her back. She took to Instagram to post a picture of the removal and share words of wisdom with her followers writing, "Thank you @nero_sct @studiocitytattoo for helping me right my wrongs.. note to self- do not mark your body with any future wedding dates #under30mistakes#donttakeyourselftooseriouslykids." Noted, Kaley!
Following her divorce from basketball player Tony Parker, the Desperate Housewives star had not one, not two, but three tattoos to remove. She had her former husband's jersey number on the back of her neck, their wedding date on her wrist and his initials hidden somewhere on her body. Breakups are always painful, but we can't image the pain of having to get rid of three different bits of ink.
In 2009, Panettiere got a tattoo that said "live with no regrets" written in Italian on her left rib cage—sounds cool, right? She thought so, too, until she realized that it was misspelled—from no regrets to instant regret. The actress began the process of getting it removed in 2013.
Picture this: '90s Mark Wahlberg with tattoos of Bob Marley and Sylvester the Cat. Not super far-fetched, right? Fast forward a few years to present-day Wahlberg, who apparently was not impressed by his younger self's antics. In fact, he was so unimpressed that not only did he get the tattoos removed, but he also took his kids with him to the tattoo parlor so he could serve as an example of what not to do.
Marilyn Monroe might be an icon, but Fox had no problem erasing Monroe from her memory—or at least from her arm. In 2012, the actress began the process of having her tattoo of Monroe, a memento from her rebellious 19-year-old self, removed. Fox even went so far as to call the removal process "traumatic".
In the 1990s, Griffith had the name of her then-husband, Antonio Banderas, tattooed inside of a heart on her right arm. When the couple initially split, Banderas' name mysteriously vanished from the actress' body. Nowadays, not even the heart remains—so much for everlasting love.
Before Brangelina (RIP), there was Billy Bob and Angelina. Her stint as Mrs. Billy Bob Thorton is a time in her life that she would prefer to forget, because after their divorce in 2003, she had the tattoo of his name removed from her left arm. Since then, she has replaced it with coordinates of her family's birthplaces.
In 2008, the supermodel got her then-husband's name tattooed on her right forearm to celebrate their fourth wedding anniversary. When Klum and Seal called it quits in 2012, part of her healing process included removing the declaration of love from her body. These days, all that remains of the original ink are three stars symbolizing the couple's three children together.
At one point, the Keeping Up with the Kardashians star had two tattoos that she got in memory of her father. However, as of March 2017, she only has one. The tattoo that remains showcases the words, "I love you," on her wrist written in her father's handwriting. The tattoo that the reality star decided to ditch was a cross and angel wings with the word "Daddy" written above it. Sounds pretty normal right? Oh, we forgot to mention its prime location: right above her most famous asset. In true Kardashian fashion, the middle sister even took to Snapchat to share the entire removal process with fans.
