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.)

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

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

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.

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.

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

“portraits of late Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg and Hillary Clinton”

He should be forced to live with that sort of sickness

Even Bill Clinton wouldn’t get a Hillary Clinton tattoo. That’s nuts.

It’s good to know it’s possible to get rid of them. I truly did think they were forever.

Hopefully, whatever process they use to remove the ink doesn’t poison them or otherwise damage their lymph nodes.

Mark Wahlberg, formerly known as Marky Mark, has indeed undergone the process of tattoo removal. Here are the key details about his experience:

Tattoo Removal Process
Mark Wahlberg had eight or nine tattoos removed from various parts of his body, including his neck, stomach, arms, back, and leg14. The removal process was significantly more painful and time-consuming than getting the tattoos in the first place. Wahlberg described the sensation as “like hot bacon grease getting flicked on you over and over again”2
.

Reasons for Removal
Wahlberg cited several reasons for removing his tattoos:
Maturity and sensibility2
Professional considerations, as covering them up for acting roles was inconvenient1
Personal growth, as he no longer wanted to be associated with his troubled past1

Duration and Challenges
The tattoo removal process took Wahlberg about five years to complete2
. He initially hoped to have them removed before filming “The Fighter” in 2010, but the process took much longer than anticipated. While he was told it would take 5-7 visits over 5-7 years, Wahlberg accelerated the process by going once a month instead of once a year

I know a doctor who works in prisons and they are removing tattoos from convicts so they can get a job when they leave. Voluntarily, I assume.

Removing tattoos is a hell of lot more painful than getting them on.

Dang!
investing in tattoo removal would have been like investing in apple 30 years ago.
