Regret, job searches and changing rules within the military are fueling tattoo removals.
The industry has grown at faster pace than ever before and it's estimated to be worth $83 billion within two-years.
According to the American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery, 46-percent of millennials have removed tattoos before entering the job market.
The technology to remove tattoos has also come a long way since the 1990's.
La Mesa doctor Ellyn Levine said she has been removing more tattoos than ever before, and uses the most most effective method there is today.
"I think the technology has advanced literally in months. Some of them are coming to an age where they are regretting that decision," she said.
In June the Marine Corps changed its tattoo regulations banning tattoos on the head and neck, single tattoos that cannot covered on the hand and limited the size and numbers.
People like 33-year-old Melanie Besseck just want to make room for something new. "When I walk around I am my own canvas and I can tell you a story just by looking at my tattoos," she said.
By using a California made machine, Dr. Levine removed the first tattoo Besseck ever got.
The lasers on the machine blast energy through the skin - shattering the ink.

Tattoos and body piercings are forbidden by the Bible. Really pretty simple that they are pagan practices. The herd effect of tattooing shows how easy people can be pulled into the gutter and call it “art.”
Last time I checked, it required an MD performing a laser procedure.
Cost plenty.
Hahahahaha!
That is a WONDERFUL story.
You made MY day. Thanks!
Happy to make you smile. LOL LOL LOL
Not being a Biblical scholar I wasn't aware of that.But I see tattoos as defacing the body and doing such things can't be particularly pleasing to God.

Thank you, Lord!
