    The super svelte star has revealed she’s getting rid of her inkings, after landing her first film role

    Newly svelte star Kelly Osbourne has revealed she’s having several of her tattoos removed, after admitting some of her fifteen inkings were 'a mistake'.

    Ozzie Osbourne’s famous daughter has just landed her first film role, and it seems having to have her body art covered up for new flick Should’ve Been Romeo got her thinking.

    'Some still have a special meaning, like the matching ones my brother Jack and I have of each other's names, but I now feel like some were a mistake,’ she wrote in her weekly magazine column.

    'They covered a few of them with make-up last week for a scene in my new film Should've Been Romeo - and I can't say I missed them!'

    In fact Ms O even posted pics on Twitter of the on-set makeup artist at work, gradually covering up the dark outlines on her arms with body make-up.

    Kelly Osbourne -

    Now Kelly’s revealed she’s been in talks with a skin expert, and is set to start removing some of her 15 inkings as soon as she can.

    ‘I met with my dermatologist and I'll start the laser treatment as soon as I have time,’ she said. 'It will take several months, and while I'm not looking forward to the pain, I've heard it hurts less than getting the tattoo. I hope so!'

    Kelly Osbourne -

    Previously, the star spoke of how she used the body art as a way of rebelling against her parents, and got some of her tattoos just because ‘I knew it would really upset mum and dad’.

    Kelly Osbourne -

    'When I was younger I really do think that tattoos were my way of self-harming because I really knew it would upset my mum and dad,’ she said.

    ‘I was miserable and I just went and got all these tattoos and I don't know why. One of them is a keyboard and I don't even know how to play a piano!’
