Robbie Williams has nearly as many tattoos as Robert DeNiro’s white trash serial nutcase in Cape Fear. Now though, he’s decided he doesn’t want them anymore.
Barely a chart release goes by without pop’s very jotter pad deciding he wants any piece of body art to celebrate the occasion. Can’t he just chill a bottle of Cava instead?
"I do like getting them done but I wish it was like an Etch-a-Sketch where I can wipe them all out and start again, "Robbie Williams commented on his unwanted tattoos, "It would be nice to have a pure, clean body again."
Pure might be pushing his luck a tad. All the drugs Robbie ingested during his infamous ‘Keith Allen’ stage can’t have worked their way out of his system entirely.
Moreover, what would be the point in losing the tattoos now? Sure, he’s bored of looking at them, but wouldn’t he just be bored of looking at bare skin – because that’s not gonna change much either.
Whether Robbie (DVDs) will take the plunge and have any of his tattoos removed is for him to decide. With everyone saying that laser removal thing hurts more than getting the tattoos scratched on in the first place, he might be wise to just wear long sleeved sweaters.
We hear you, that’s not very rock and roll, but then neither’s the new ‘ragga‘ sound Robbie’s pushing for his new album.
The greatest cross-cultural pity party since John Candy waddled onto the set of Cool Runnings (DVDs)? Put it this way, how would you like to hear Sean Paul covering Foster and Allen?
Precisely. You dubbing wouldn’t.

Robbie may be bored of his tatoos, as is the peril with all forms of body art (prefer piercings myself as they are removable), however they are all personal to him in some way and do look good which is always a plus. At least they ain’t hideous…unlike your comments on the new album! It’s pure genius. Love the mixture of influences he has and the overwhelming amount of great lyrics. It is an outstanding addition to the legacy of Mr Williams!

Robbie’s new album is great, just as all his previous albums. He is so versatile and can sing any music, from swing to reggae to pop to rock. He is good looking, charming and very sexy, the tatoo’s don’t change any of that.

Robbie’s tattoo’s make him who he is. If he didn’t have the tattoo’s he’d still be Robbie Williams but he wouldn’t be ‘Robbie Williams’, he wouldn’t have any character and he wouldn’t have that edge about him. He clearly shows that each tattoo he has means something to him and by having them on his body they might make him feel at home. Anyways Robbie’s new album is great, i love it and advertising space is just brillant. robbie you’ve done well. plz come to aust!
