Sinead O’Connor has decided that she needs to start afresh and find a good laser tattoo removal artist. She had the letters 'B' and 'Q' tattoed on her cheeks 18 months ago but now feels it's time for a new start and a new face.
Yesterday O'Connor tweeted “Ok, it's time to get this stupid sh*t off my face.”

The 47-year-old singer asked: "Any1 know an excellent tattoo removal person? Someone said a guy in Harley st can do in one shot... Any1 know him? Or similar here?”
The initials 'B' and 'Q' were tattooed on her face to act as a constant reminder of someone she fell out with. She said that she chose such a prominent place on her face so she would never forget their argument.
Many saw the humour in the reference to the DIY chain B&Q. In fact O'Connor even saw the funny side of it herself, saying: “Yes, yes. The B&Q jokes are funny,” she wrote on her website. "I had actually thought of getting an ‘&’ sign on my nose (not really).”
