Pharrell Williams is about to undergo a revolutionary new treatment that will give him new skin to cover over his tattoos.

The NERD frontman told vogue how he plans to have the treatment that involves growing new skin in a lab.

"It's basically like getting a skin graft, but you're not taking skin from your ass or your legs. These guys actually grow the skin for you," he explained to the magazine.

"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."

Pharrell has numerous tattoos on his arms and body but feels they do not look good now he is getting older:"I got fire on my arms! I'm a grown man!" he said.
