    Chris Hemsworth gave up on laser sessions to remove one of his tattoos after his daughter India complained

    The Thor star, 42, has revealed he got an image from Dr. Seuss book Oh, the Places You'll Go! inked on his arm in tribute to 13-year-old India because he used to read it to her a lot but he grew sick of it and booked in a course of laser treatment to have the tattoo erased, but he gave up after just one session because India wasn't happy about having it.


    During an appearance on the SmartLess podcast, he explained: "My tattoos. I have a Dr. Seuss tattoo. My daughter, I used to read that book to her a lot and my mum read it to me, Oh, the Places You'll Go!

    "And she just would draw that little character and loved it so I got that tattoo. And then a few years later I was like: 'Ah I'm kind of sick if it'. So I started getting it taken off. I did like one laser session and then she came home one day and she goes: 'It's rubbing off. What happened to it? It's rubbing off!'

    "And I was like: 'I thought you were sick of it?" and she goes: 'No, I love it, I love it'. So it's now kind of half faded. But it's still there."

    Chris went on to explain he has more tattoos on his arm which were drawn by India herself after she interrupted a late-night brain-storming session with his tattoo artist.

    The actor went on to add: "There's a bunch on my arm actually, little drawings that she did. I was sitting with a tattoo artist one night and it was like 10 o'clock and we're designing all these different things, like geometry and trippy looking stuff. My daughter walked out and she goes: 'Dad I can't sleep, you're making too much noise.'

    "And I was like: 'Sorry, sorry'. And she sits down and starts squiggling and drew the three little images here, which, one of them, the guy next to me here goes: 'That's the Wheel of Dharma, eight steps to enlightenment.'

    "So she's drawn that. Like an eight-point star. He looked at me and goes: 'I think they're way cooler than anything we're designing' so took a photo of that. And that's that. I've got a bunch of other sort of squiggles. "

    However, Chris confessed he always gets "sick" of his tattoos after he has them done, adding: "The problem is I get sick of them. I'm into them for a few weeks and then I want to just get them all removed ...

    "The kids ones have a bit of something to it. But I've got some other ones which are like weird sort of psycho geometry one which looks like Illuminati kind of vibes. Weird. "
