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.”

Dear Meagan,
I know of you through the entertainment magazines. Today
I was shocked to hear that you will be removing the Marilyn
Monroe tattoo from your arm. I am simply disgusted with
your comment that Marilyn Monroe’s mental profile no longer supports your initial reason for having the tattoo. I am bipolar and have been for most of my life. Most people don’t know this about me because I have lived a normal and very stable life while managing my disease with medication.
You may not always be the celebrity you’ve become. Who knows maybe some day you may actually look pass your reflection in the mirror and realize that women of substance do not judge but accept their circumstances and that of others. They also show more care in the treatment of people with a disadvantage.
I wish you luck in the removal of the Marilyn Monroe tattoo and hope your reasons for having it in the first
place will serve as a reminder of your shallow point of view.
You are among many “starlets” that believe their beauty
is a license for a painless life. I’m sad for you.
