50 Cent's prominent tattoos were a part of his image in the public eye. Now, it seems 50 Cent is trying to clean up that image by removing some of tha tattoos from his body.

In a recent interview with AllHipHop.com, 50 spoke on why he decided to have some of his arm tattoos taken off [click here].

“I took some of the tattoos off because on the movie set, if we got a six o’clock call time, I have to be there two o’clock the night before,” he told the site.

“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."

His work in films has been heating up as of late. He will act and executive produce in Caught in the Crossfire, a film that features Chris Klein. He will also work in Dead Man Running, Twelve with Kiefer Sutherland, 13 with Mickey Rourke and Jekyll and Hyde with Forest Whitaker. Aside from this, IMDB reports that he will be in The Ski Mask Way, The Dance and Everything's Alright [click here].
