[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I personally wouldn’t get one because while I think it would look okay on me now, I would know that when I get old(er) and my skin wrinkles then it will look absolutely hideous no doubt.[/quote]

They are not that hard to remove these days. If you stick with a black ink tattoo and don't get anything huge, and locate it somewhere on your torso (closer to heart will make it easier to remove), you could have it for a couple decades and remove it before you get old and wrinkled.

The cost and pain of removal has come down too. I didn't realize this until recently when I learned that Pete Davidson has had a bunch of tattoos removed and they are truly gone -- you can't see them at all. I didn't realize it was possible to remove them that completely. But especially if you aren't talking about like a full color sleeve, it's apparently not a huge deal.

I think a lot of younger people are aware of this and don't view them as totally permanent as a result, which makes more people get them. I feel like it's very common now to have one or two tasteful, meaningful tattoos if you are in your 20s and 30s, and I wouldn't be surprised if many of these people removed them in their 50s. When you think of it that way, it's really not that different than a lot of other fashion or beauty trends that younger people embrace and older people abhor -- eyebrow piercings, candy-colored hair, etc. Yes, more permanent than those are but not totally permanent. Tattoos are really not forever anymore.[/quote]

You clearly never had a tattoo or a tattoo removal. So funny. [/quote]

I have a tattoo and know people who have removed them. The new lasers are really impressive. I have a good friend who had a rose removed from her shoulder and it's gone. It took two years but you'd never know she had a tattoo now.

Apparently older tattoos are easier to remove, and having paler skin can make it easier, which surprised me (I guess it makes it easier to target the ink with the laser because of the contrast).[/quote]
