Here’s the latest I can share based on recent coverage:

He has indicated the torso area is currently a focus and that the process has been lengthy and expensive (around six figures) but he remains committed to going ink-free [People: update on torso removal; Parade: 5-year progress; E!/Variety reporting on ongoing journey].[1][2][4][7]
