> The whole thing made me think there’ll be a lot of growth in the tattoo removal industry in a couple of decades. I think tattoos on both men and women can be nicely done but rarely are.

The same episode of “Plastic Makes Perfect” also featured a young lady who was getting the tattoos on her neck and backs of her hands removed by laser - first they injected her with anesthetic so it would be as painful, then zapped her (which raised welts, it looked like); it took many sessions, but the tattoos were fading. I was a little surprised by the results - the ones on her hands weren’t breaking up well at all. So in conclusion, tattoo removal is a long, slow, painful, expensive, arduous process with dubious results. 🙂

Up until I read this post, I held the opposite viewpoint, and considered it a matter of taste - but on reading this I have completely changed my mind. Thanks for posting the objective truth!

It might make you a girly man - the studies aren’t conclusive.

Just doin’ my bit to cut down on the unfair labelling of Subaru drivers.

Now, if you drive a Subaru, wear flannel shirts on a regular basis, have a tribal design bicep tattoo and spend inordinate amounts of time at Home Depot… well, then you just might be a lesbian

(or possibly a self-loathing mentally ill lumberjack-slash-handyman… it’s easy to confuse the two sometimes)

Yeah a dude I met one night in Dublin had swastika tattoos on his hands that he’d tried to have removed when he got a bit older and bit more sensible. They weren’t all that clear but they were still visible. I wonder does he wear gloves to job interviews!

One of those is a henna tattoo, right?

I like a certain type of tattoo on a girl:

Oh \<kicks dirt bashfully\> well, it’s not a _tribal_ tattoo.
