Are Tattoos on Old Skin an Unsightly Mix?
What the researchers found through this survey was that those who sought tattoo removal were more likely to be women who were white and single with some degree of college education and between the ages of 24 and 39. Armstrong says the reason behind the larger proportion of those seeking tattoo removal falling into this group may be that young women experience more “societal fallout” from their body art than others.
I find this amusing. I hope they bankrupt themselves and end up disfigured. You submit to peer pressure and get ink, then you submit to peer pressure again to get it removed. If this doesn’t symbolize everything that is weak and worthless about American youth then I don’t know what does.
Of course some will say that young people make mistakes and that they should not have to live with it for the rest of their lives. Bullshit. You make mistakes and you suffer the consequences. That’s how life works. Protecting people from the consequences of their own actions makes them weak, clingy, and forever childish. They go through life needing crutches and making enemies.
I also hope that tattoo-removal is agonizingly painful.

“Bullshit. You make mistakes and you suffer the consequences. That’s how life works.” harsh. but it made me laugh.
You’ll be happy to know that removal is a painful procedure that involves burning the skin with lasers lots of times
Hear hear! Like the viewpoint.
From what I’ve heard, tattoo removal painful. I’ve had a few friends who have had it done. Mainly because in a burst of romantic passion, they ink a new lover’s name on their body which then turns into a former lover. (One guaranteed way to doom a relationship, get that person’s name inked on your body). Then I have one friend who just keeps tattooing new art over old lover’s names…hilarious, I like his viewpoint too.
I’m an artist and love tattoos, always have since I was a kid. Personally, I don’t have tatts for 3 reasons: 1. I could never commit nor have fallen in love with any one design, even one I could create. 2. I will someday be a grandma and grandmas and tattoos, well, something about that bothers me. 3. Tattoos on women are just way too common. Nothing more pathetic to me than seeing a young, attractive female sporting the requisite lower back tattoo. Nothing cool about it when everyone’s got it. Must be the peer pressure thing. If I ever get one, it will probably be when they’re totally out of vogue for women…as if that will ever happen.
