Originally Posted By Mr X I think those tats look kinda cool, actually.

I feel sorry for the tat artist. As for teens and tats, she was 18 so afaik legally an adult. Her choice, her problem.

Originally Posted By Kala I agree the face is a bit much for my taste. I did see someone with 3-4 stars that didn't look half bad, and their hair could hide it if they had too.
Originally Posted By TINK-MOBILE only if she could now wash them off, maybe they should have temp tattoo's, i think the tatoo artist should have talked her out of it...their experience should have some how shown her, she may have to live with this the rest of her life, but then again, maybe he or she did try..a lot of stars ..that is for sure..

Originally Posted By trekkeruss It looks neat for a minute, and then I think, what an idiot. But I don't really like tats anywhere or on anyone.

With state of the art equipment it takes anywhere from 12-18 months with treatments spaced 6-8 weeks apart (to allow for healing), and sometimes, what you end up with is a scar in the shape of the original tattoo. And not all pigments reacts the same and so you may have certain colors that are removable but others that aren't. And it's more dificult to remove amateur tattoos than professionally done ones. The segment of the population we see here are navy and retired navy and their dependents...so we have far more requests than we can actually accomodate. So at one point we kept a waiting list. There was one older guy who either came by or called at least once a week to see if the list had moved. One day he told me that he was tired of wearing long sleeves shirts, but he felt he had to because he didn't want people to 'know how stupid I was when I was younger'.

My last one is Mickey with a giggle face on my lower neck, upper back. I have got a lot of compliments on it though.

Originally Posted By Mary Poppins Sara Tonin, That is very interesting to know. I didn't know you could get a scar after a tatoo was removed.
