The troubled pop princess has spent $2,000 having a Hebrew healing tattoo laser-removed from the nape of her neck.
Britney had the letters etched in 2004, after spending time with Kabbalah fanatic Madonna.
She studied the offshoot of Judaism and even contemplated joining other celebrity followers including Demi Moore and Ashton Kutcher.
Britney had the mark of Mem, Hey and Shin inked on the back of he neck as a symbol of healing. According to experts, the combination of letters evokes the consciousness of healing. Getting the tattoo meant Britney was taking responsibility for everything in her life and accepting she can heal herself in all ways.
Four years on, Britney's career is on the ropes, she has two failed marriages under her belt and is battling for visitation access to her two sons, after losing custody of Sean Preston and Jayden James to ex Kevin Federline.
If she ever needed healing help - it's now.
Friends say Britney had the tattoo removed to show the world she can't cope. A pal says, "When she got the tattoo, Britney was in control of her life and her career.
"The whole world can see she's lost control, and the tattoo made her feel like a hypocrite."
