50 Cent Removes Tattoos For Hollywood Career
By Miles Bennett ♦ Published 07/15/2009

2009-07-15 - 50 CentFrom the moment 50 Cent jumped in the game, he's been tatted up, but lately, he doesn't want the ink any more ... sort of.

According to AllHipHop.com, the rapper has recently gone through procedures to remove the immediately visible tattoos from his body, mostly from his arms, to better accommodate his burgeoning career in Hollywood.

"I took some of the tattoos off because on the movie set," Fiddy told the site. "If we got a six o'clock call time, I have to be there two o'clock the night before. I gotta go through four hours of make up before we go ahead and play the role. So, I just took it off my arm. My right arm."

He's not completely done with his ink though. His famous full backpiece displaying a huge "50" and the word "Southside" --  done by famed Los Angeles tattoo artist Mister Cartoon -- is still intact.

50 will star in an upcoming film called "Streets Of Blood," alongside Hollywood heavyweights Val Kilmer, Sharon Stone and Michael Biehn.

The drama portrays the street gangs and corrupt law enforcement in post-Hurricane Katrina New Orleans.

At press time, there was no release date for the film.

    Film career? This guy is box office poison. What movie he's been in, that made money? His music career is near dead and his stereotypical movie career is going the same way, only without the success.

    What a man does to his skin is his business. Obviously, he's very serious about his film career. Good luck to 50.

    fiddy is one of the only dudes that can keep it guttah, and still maneuver within the entertainment business. The simpletons, and the morons who think he isn't keeping it "real" can not comprehend anything outside of their 10 block radius. Dude got sprayed up, lived and destroyed his competition, made hundreds of millions and also is one of the most philanthropic hip hop entertainers ever, yet ya rather see him dead...
