Pharrell Williams To 'Cultivate Skin For New Tattoos'

July 1, 2008
Pharrell Williams To 'Cultivate Skin For New Tattoos'US producer Pharrell Williams has claimed that he is to cultivate new skin in order to get fresh tattoos on his body.

The N*E*R*D star said he was bored of his current tattoos and has decided to take the drastic action so that he can start again.

"It's going to be pricey, but fuck it, it's worth it. I got fire on my arms, I don't need fire on my arms! I'm a grown man,” he told the Mirror newspaper.

"There's an institute called the Wake Forest Institute in North Carolina for Regenerative Skin Treatment.

"It's basically like getting a skin graft, but you're not taking skin from your ass or 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."
