Jeremy took an interest in hair transplants after having treatments on his face to thicken his beard.
Jeremy tells us: "I am removing all of my ink on my neck and other silly ones I have put on over the years for my business with Hair of Istanbul.
"It's important to look smart and be taken serious in business so I felt the time was up on silly tattoos.
"Hair of Istanbul will be venturing into the UK and mainly London as well as key capital points around the world so I will be super busy and I will be dealing with a lot of people so it just made sense to have them removed.
"I’m excited for everything that’s happening in my life now and look forward to the future."
