Naama Studios in London is offering fans of the rapper free removal of their tattoos after his recent incendiary comments.

The Canadian rock band Rush once sang “Living in the limelight, the universal dream.”

In recent days, musical artist and designer Ye found his dream a nightmare.


After antisemitic comments he made on social media and in interviews and a post to Twitter displaying Nazi symbolism and his support for Adolf Hitler, Ye was rightfully criticized for his bigotry.

In a since deleted tweet, Ye targeted the Jewish community while claiming to be Jewish because he's Black.

Ye is a multiplatinum rapper with extremely loyal fans.

Some fans are now wondering what is to become of their formerly favorite performer.

And what of the fans that took their love for the performer further than just, say, buying an album?

What if they did something permanent?

Well, if that something was in the form of a tattoo, then a tattoo studio based in London, England may have a solution. Naama Studios is taking a stand and offering free tattoo removal for those that now wish to remove Ye from their skin.

In a statement to The Washington Post, the tattoo shop reported they understand not everyone can afford a procedure such as tattoo removal.

“We understand that tattoos can be triggering for some people and not everyone can afford to remove their tattoos."

Their solution?

Laser tattoo removal at a STEEP discount.

Rather than charging the standard fee of £2,000 (~$2,400), they are offering tattoo removals for images of Ye at no charge.

A kind gesture from a sympathetic vendor or a marketing ploy?

The internet appears divided.

Some comments showed support.

While others were offended and claimed targeting.

There were even those individuals who found humor in the chaos.

Only the future will tell what is to become of the man formerly considered one of the kings of rap music.

But if you're in London and have a tattoo, you don't have to hope Ye will turn things around.

You can sever your ties now.

Stephen Colbert Makes Somber Plea To Americans In Wake Of Charlie Kirk's Death

Late-night host Stephen Colbert had a somber message for Americans as he addressed the assassination of far-right activist Charlie Kirk, stressing that "political violence only leads to more political violence."

Kirk died after an unidentified gunman shot him in the neck as he—ironically enough—mocked victims of gun violence at an event in Utah Valley State University. Kirk's murder has galvanized the far-right, with President Donald Trump and his surrogates claiming without evidence that rhetoric from Democrats is responsible for Kirk's death.

TikToker Hilariously Calls Out Target After Champion Pants Feature Awkwardly-Placed Front Pleat

Sometimes you can just tell when something was designed *for* women, but was not actually designed *by* women.

Take, for instance, the new pleated pants available at Target from the Champion clothing line. While there's nothing wrong with pleated pants and they certainly have a suitable spot in the workplace, the latest rendition of Champion pleated pants are, shall we say, NSFW.

Whether we want to admit it or not, we've all had our fair share of carpool karaoke and maybe even imagined our car as our own personal recording studio.

But TikToker and Instagrammer Kaitlynn McCutcheon may have gotten too into her performance of Britney Spears' classic, "Hit Me Baby, One More Time," when the road and her car both said, "Bet."

Woman Goes Viral After Revealing How Her Obsession With Matcha Landed Her In The Hospital

Let's be honest: Too much of anything isn't good for us. It's all about the balance!

But the media and social media trends have taught us that certain things are really good for us, encouraging us to be like the "very mindful and very demure" girls and take care of ourselves. One such example is drinking more matcha, especially if you really like coffee or think you have a caffeine addiction.
