Megan Fox removes Marilyn tattoo

Sexy Transformers star Megan Fox has recently confessed to getting her tattoo of Marilyn Monroe removed from her arm - and as you can see, the once strong portrait of the movie legend's face is now faded and indescript.



When she first got the ink, Megan enthused that the tribute was a reminder, "not to let myself be treated so badly by the film industry so that it breaks me down."



But Megan's since had a change of heart. "I'm removing it," Megan revealed. "It is a negative character, as she suffered from personality disorders and was bipolar. I do not want to attract this kind of negative energy in my life."



Why I'm Removing My Marilyn Monroe Tattoo



Gentlemen may prefer blondes -- but Megan Fox would now prefer to have her giant Marilyn Monroe tattoo erased from her right forearm.



The 25-year-old star confirmed to Italian fashion magazine Amica that she is in the process of removing (via laser treatments) the talked-about portrait of the Hollywood legend from her famous body.

"I'm removing it," Fox says. "She was a negative person, she was disturbed, bipolar. I do not want to attract this kind of negative energy in my life." (Indeed, the notoriously troubled Monroe died in 1962 at age 36 of a drug overdose.)

But the Transformers bombshell has plenty of other body art staying on -- with over nine other tattoos, including a quote in honor of her Passion Play costar Mickey Rourke on her ribcage, a tribal tattoo on her left wrist and another quote on her shoulder.



"Who knows, maybe I'll remove the others too, but the laser hurts."



Fox also fesses up to removing, like so many young women before her, a naval piercing.



"I did it when I was 16-years-old because I was a fan of Britney Spears," she explains. "The only time I tried to imitate someone else. But then I thought it was tacky and so I removed it when I turned 20."
