doctors can take it off with lasers, although i've heard from my friends dad that its really painful and his took more than one sitting to laser off.

and Spike*Spiegel, love your tats, they look really cool!

I think it would kind of defeat the purpose if you go in thinking "Oh, I'll just have it removed in 10 years if I don't like it down the road..."

Agreed, laser removal should be a last resort. Not a tool that allows you to put less thought an deliberation into getting work done. Plus, have you seen some of those laser removals? Sometimes they don't even remove all the way, just make you look like you have a skin disease.

The laser removals don't actually remove everything. As soon as the ink is in your skin your body is trying to remove it as a foreign object, laser treatment just breaks down the ink into smaller crystals so that your body can take it away and process it. So it needs multiple treatments because essentially it's a slow natural process that's only being aided by lasers, and that's also why it looks really weird before it's finished.

^yeah, thats what happened to my friends dad, like it got the outline off but you could still tell that he had a tat there at one time because the skin was a different color, but you just couldnt tell what it was.

and yeah i knew that lasers dont really work too well, im just saying if you really start hating it when youre 60 or 70 something yrs old then the option is there.

The treatment I seen had much redder skin and you could trace the outline because the skin was reddish as if loads of little broken red veins were there

Ok so i thought bout gettin a tat but not sure what if i do i want it to mean somethin to have a personal meanin. I want a small personalized tat if i ever decide to acually get one. Guy with a tat on their arms(not sleeves) are hot. Not everyone looks good with tats just sayin. I aint seen nun yall pics so im not talk bout yall just sayin in general. Tats should be really thought about n mean somethin to u before gettin one.
