RAPPER 50 Cent has had the tattoos on his arms removed.

The In Da Club hitmaker — real name Curtis Jackson — says he ditched his body art to avoid spending hours in the make-up chair on film sets.

“I took ‘em off,” he said. “I’ve been on a few acting projects and they been making me get up… My call time is four hours before the regular acting talent because of the tattoos.

“I’ve got a project I’m supposed to be doing with Nicolas Cage, called The Dance, it’s a boxing film… it’s like my passion project and… when you’re a fighter you’re sweating and with a whole bunch of make-up on and stuff like that, it doesn’t look real to me.

“I kept my back piece. I can’t take that off.”

50 recently revealed that he always expected himself to be a success.

“I expected myself to be successful,” he said.

“Not this successful as fast, but I’m working, I’m ambitious and I’ll always create new goals and challenge myself to accomplish them.”
