No news on whether they'll also cover the removal of Kaka tattoos.

Manchester City are considering offering free tattoo removal to supporters who had the soon-to-be-changed club crest inked on their skin.

The Barclays Premier League leaders are currently in a consultation process to switch their badge from the present Eagle design back to its original circular shape.

But some fans have expressed dismay that they've had the current badge tattooed on their bodies and it will soon be out of date.

The club are understood to be looking into the possibility of funding laser surgery for fans who want their designs removing but no final decision has yet been made.

Tattoo removal costs upwards of £50 a session, with the number of sessions dependant on the size of the tattoo. Removing a design of 30cm across can cost in excess of £2,000.

City switched to their current badge, which features an eagle with outstretched wings, a ship and three golden stars during the chairmanship of Francis Lee in 1997.

It replaced the former round design that contained the ship and the red rose of Lancashire, but a recent survey found there was an overwhelming desire to return to that style.

Fans will soon be presented with a choice of designs, which are expected to better reflect City's global presence and match the circular designs of their partner clubs Melbourne City and New York City.

All tattoos of City's crest will be replaced by an accurate depiction of Shiek Mansour's rear.
 
Weird decision. The current crest is one of the best in the league. The old one looks like it belongs to a team from the conference.

Fingers crossed.
 
I quite liked their new badge, change it back!
 
Maybe they could offer a tattoo of an Abu Dhabi map with grave markers showing all the Royal subjects that have died due to the sheiks vanity project.

Eh? Their current crest has been a source of derision for those meaningless comedy stars.

That club really do PR hard though don't they? Small gestures like this, costing them buttons, but creating the impression they care.

Has it? I think its really nice. Way better than the original.
 
It's gonna be painful for some, altering that Chelsea badge.
 
City mainly about getting rid of the Latin, those 'orrible stars & the Nazi Eagle, innit?

But we'll talk about its new shape, our global partners & tattoo removal as a distraction.
 
That's weird. Just because they change the badge doesn't mean that the tattoo loses its meaning.
 
Are they offering removal of Chelsea tattoos, too?

Ah, too late.
 
Maybe Beckham can sneak in and change that Hindi recipe for masala fish too.

This is a lot for any club to take on board and very generous all things considered.

Looking at their fan base they could end up with a bill anywhere between £50 to £100.
