Rumer Willis had her tattoos removed so that her appearance would reflect her new outlook

Recalling the experience of having her tattoos removed, Rumer explained: "It's awful, it's awful. I'm very lucky that a lot of my big ones were super light - but when people said that it hurt, I just had no idea.
"I just kind of had a moment where you know, I got a lot of them when I was very young and I'm lucky to live in a time where it's very accessible to be able to take them off. But, it just didn't feel like me anymore, so I just thought to change it up."
Rumer said that removing the tattoos also marked a new chapter in her life.
The actress - who has sisters Scout, 27, and Tallulah, 24 - explained that turning 30 represented a landmark moment for her.
She shared: "I turned 30 this year, and I think it's really important.
"I think sometimes it's so easy, especially right now in the world to focus on the negative and what's going on in the world, and I think it's just really important to find gratitude every day even in tiny little things - whether it's that you have a job or that you have your house of your family or your legs even - just whatever it is and find the small gratitude, I think it's really important."
