Beauty is pain for Kelly Osbourne, as the Fashion Police co-host has decided to begin removing her tattoos.

"I did the crime I am now doing the time! #NoPainNoGain!" she wrote in a caption on Instagram. In the photo above the caption (seen to the right), the 29 year-old's arm is seen undergoing the painful removal process.

The first to go is the colorful keyboard on her right arm. In a 2010 interview, Osbourne explained why she acquired so many tattoos in the first place: "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! As you get older, you realize that you don't want to be defined by your tattoos, because that's not the type of person that I am."

Kelly also plans to get most of her 15 tattoos removed, as she stated in her weekly Closer column in 2010: "I met with my dermatologist and I'll start the laser treatment as soon as I have time 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."

Maybe Miley Cyrus ought to take some cues from Kelly.
