Tattoo Ink

can't remember where I read it, but there is a new ink getting ready to be on the market sometime this year. It's biodegradable or something. The skin doesn't take it, so it wont stain or absorb into it. It'll be just like a normal tattoo, except with one lazer treatment, the tattoo will be completely be gone.
So just note for anyone who is wanting a tattoo and is iffy about it, may wanna stick it out til this new ink hits the market.

Having a removable tattoo kinda defeats the purpose of getting one to begin with. That's part of it...the committment to keep it on your body for life.

sure enough. But hey this is the new era of things, and people who have money get what they want. So they are going to invent things to accomodate everybody.
But it's not bad if you somehow have surgery and it's right where the tattoo is, bam.. need it removed it's gone.
or you scratch it up or damage the design somehow, bam it's gone.
so it has it's good and bad.

The problem with this tho is it makes getting a tattoo more cliche than it has already become. All you see nowdays is barbed wire or tribal arm bands and tramp stamps. Can't stand to see these pre-fab tattoos that folks get just to "be cool". Don't get me wrong, I love tattoos...i have 4..but they aren't these mass produced overly popular cliches you see on 95% of the folks who have tattoos.

You forgot to mention the bar-code tats that are "all the rage" right now [img]/LDPforum/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/rolleyes.gif[/img] In a few years, the government will have those mandated anyway [img]/LDPforum/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]
