The producer has grown bored of the numerous tattoos he has etched onto his body so is paying a firm to grow him replacement skin in a test tube, which they will then stitch over his old permanent markings.
He told MySpace.com: “It’s going to be pricey, but f**k it, it’s worth it. I got fire on my arms, I don’t need fire on my arms! I’m a grown man.
“There’s an institute called the Wake Forest Institute in North Carolina for Regenerative Skin Treatment. It’s basically like getting a skin graft, but you’re not taking skin from you a** or legs – these guys actually grow the skin for you.
“First you have to give them a sample of your skin, which they then replicate. Once that’s been done, they sew it on – and it’s seamless.”
Once his new skin is ready, the NERD star is planning to have new body art. He said: “When it is healed you can go get whatever tattoo you want.”
