must be a MILLION aging tramp-stamps out there...Well I hope the CDC set some money aside to study the phenomena of teen stupidity regret.
I have never seen a tattoo I thought was attractive. Or a nose ring. Or piercings beyond one in each ear (and I do not mean those hideous stretched out loops).
The “DUH” moment!
must be a MILLION aging tramp-stamps out there...I’ve read that some of the very same tattoo shops are offering removal treatment and making much more money.
I have a friend with two daughters. One got a tattoo, the other commented, “Tattoos are just to help identify the strippers from the patrons.” Guess which one is going to college.
My beautiful 22 year old niece just got a horrid green skull tattooed on her chest. I’m sick about it. She has a lot of them. She’s broke, doesn’t own a car, but she manages to get herself tattooed all over. Pathetic. And no, she’s NOT on government assistance of any kind.
In college many people I know got large, childish tattoos that have dated abysmally - it takes a really stupid person to permanently inscribe a sitcom or movie catchphrase or a cartoon character (especially one of recent vintage) on their body.
Wow, who’d thunk all those flowers, unicorns, butterflies, and creepy skeletons wouldn’t fit a 30 year old’s fashion style.
In the American southwest, the tattoo removal industry is booming but not just for cosmetic reasons, but to hide previous affiliation with gangs.
I’m of two minds about tattoos.
Some of them (rarely) are really special art. But they are permanent, and frankly, they often look like disfigurements. A lot of times I look at people who have them and my first impression is that the person has a disfiguring mole or mark. It’s only when I get closer that I realize it’s ink, and it does nothing for their overall appearance.
Tattoos do not enhance. They hide, and disfigure.
Before and after pics from the Toronto clinic mentioned in the article, Precision Laser Tattoo Removal. The procedure does not always remove all the ink.
Welcome to my life, tattoo
We’ve a long time together, me and you
I expect I’ll regret you
But the skin graft man won’t get you
You’ll be there when I die
Tattoo

As it should.
I always reasoned that if I wouldn’t want to wear the same clothes every day, why would I ever consider something as permanent as a tattoo?
>>he’ll spend an about $5,000 on multiple treatments over the course of about a year.<<
That’s pretty stupid. You can get a cheese grater at Wal-Mart for just a couple of bucks.
Can I remove hers?
