Tattoo removal is one thing, but it’s letting the LORD in to heal our wounds within. (And I don’t think tattoos are necessarily bad.)

[Joe 6-pack]

All the wealthy celebs who popularized tattoos are now getting rid of them...because they can afford to have them removed.

All the lemmings that glommed onto the trend will now find themselves out of fashion without the money to do anything about it.

Welcome to my life, tattoo
I’m a man now, thanks to you
I expect I’ll regret you
But the skin graft man won’t get you

You’ll be there when I die
Tattoo

I find the humorous in a macabre, sad and ironic kind of way.

[aposiopetic]

Heartfelt.

How are they removed?

Yeah, the “No Regerts” tattoo isn’t as satisfying as I thought it would be.

[Gen.Blather]

When I was a small child, I sat in a doctor’s waiting room next to an elderly man with lots of tattoos. They were illegible, wrinkled and the colors had blurred. Whatever they once were was long, long gone. I realized he had probably thought they looked really cool, probably in the 1940’s. I thought, no matter how good they looked, they’d eventually look horrible. Also, I thought if I’d gotten them say a few years ago, they’d probably be Micky Mouse or Donald Duck and I’d be horrified to have them at my then current age. I never again thought about getting a tattoo.

Tattoos mean saying you’re sorry ... sooner or later ...

"Tattoos Are no Longer Forever"

Makes me think of the time-share industry.

[DarrellZero]

Drawing permanent smudges all over yourself.

Ridiculous practice.

I had a small tattoo excised from my forearm by my dermatologist. He said the reason laser removal is so difficult, is inconsistency in ink, depth etc. He said if the industry could land on some standards, it would make everyone’s life easier.

My son in law had his removed with a laser. Not fun. Not cheap.

[Billthedrill]

No way I’m getting my portraits of Hillary Clinton and Nancy Pelosi removed. They’ll remain where they belong on my butt cheeks.

I keep adding to mine with my own tat machine. I love them.
