I told my FHE brothers that I was once gothic and had an eyebrow ring, tongue rings and a few tattoos. They believed me, only because I hadn't been to FHE (for good reasons) and they thought I was a rebel. They told me that they would be more than willing to burn my off.
As I was surfing through recent health blogs and news stories I came across one on tattoo removal. I became curious and wondered what the process and effects are from getting a tattoo removed.
The U.S. Food And Drug Administration in, April 2006, estimated that over 45 million people in America have a tattoo. According to The Journal of the American Academy of Dermatology in March 2005, 24% of the general U.S. population has a tattoo and 17% of those who have a tattoo have considered having it removed. There are currently about 307,000,000 people in America. So according to the statistics about 73 million Americans have a tattoo and of that 73 million at least lhaf;fha;ljf want to get their tattoo removed.
Thats a lot of people wanting to get a tattoo removed. What are their options. About.com suggest several ways to get a tattoo removed the first is laser removal, intense pulsed light therapy, dermabrasion(sanding it off, very painful), do-it-yourself creams or you can just use cover-up.
The most effective way is laser removal but its costly, time consuming and most of the time it doesn't completely remove evidence of the tattoo.
The point of this is....don't get a tattoo and if you have one...good luck getting it removed.
