Remember that time where Kat Von D told the media she would never, ever remove her tattoo of her ex-fiance, Jesse James? Well…looks like never ever turned into NOW!

Today, the tattoo artist posted on twitter:

“AND SO IT BEGINS! First round of tattoo removal well underway! ”

Go HERE to check out photos of the laser burning a hole into Kat’s skin (ugh!). The tattoo in question- a young photo of Jesse James- is depicted with the lazer going directly into the figure’s eye….ew!  And, brutal, don’t you think?

Maybe if things get serious with Kat’s new beau, DJ Deadmau5, she won’t be so quick to have his face (young or old) etched into her body.  We all know Miss Von D loves her tats, but getting them removed seems painful… and expensive!
