Mark Wahlberg is getting some of his tattoos removed, and he’s used the occasion as a learning experience for his two oldest children Ella and Michael. “I’ve taken my two older kids to the procedure so they see how painful it is and what I have to go through,” he told People.
Why is Wahlberg getting rid of his tattoos? “[All the tattoos] have meaning to me, but it’s both personal and professional,” he explained. “I don’t want my kids getting tattoos. And I wanted them to be [removed] by the time I did ‘The Fighter’ because putting makeup on and covering them up has always been a pain in the butt.”
Tattoo removal is a notoriously painful and lengthy process. Do you think Mark Wahlberg’s strategy will steer his kids away from getting any permanent ink when they get older?

Wahlberg does the right thing. Wearing a tattoo is not bad, but usually kids shouldn’t be exposed to such things. And afaik, every person starts thinking about removal once they start a family.
starting a family shouldn’t be the reason to remove a tattoo. people should realize that tattoos are NOT a bad thing. please think about it. i respect mark wahlberg and he’s a good actor, and although this is his decision, i don’t agree with it.
Why is Mark removing his tattoos? Imho, when you get a tattoo, you think at the fact that you will stay with it for the rest of your life. Maybe he took some bad decisions in the past regarding those tattoos if he wants to remove them now.
