Goddamn it Discovery! You hurtin' for cash or what? - fpcyber, on 10/10/2007, -0/+21Wow, more ads on that page than the length of that article.
- GRTWHT, on 10/10/2007, -1/+17Now there will be future generations which will be (mostly) free of 70 year old, wrinkly/sagging barbed wire, Kanji, tribal patterns, etc.
- Eccohawk, on 10/10/2007, -1/+12Can someone explain the wasted YouTube embeds on the pages there? They don't even have a video relating to the same topic. I pressed play expecting a video article expanding on the written one. Unfortunately, It's just random video # 1200. I think Walt the web tech just messing with me again....
- jeffrysfanclub, on 10/10/2007, -1/+10If only the zune tattoo guy used this ink.
- Scyth3, on 10/10/2007, -0/+9"The pigment is homogenously dispersed in the capsule to get the right color,"
Yes they can make colors. - christianjb, on 10/10/2007, -0/+9Makes me wish I had waited fifteen years longer to get my 'Michael Jackson is King' tat.
- Jacob, on 10/10/2007, -0/+7and like he said don't get your girlfriends name tattood on you. Only get stuff you KNOW you want to have forevor.
- bstud82, on 10/10/2007, -1/+8You tattoo clowns are acting like a bunch of whiny elitists. Ya I'm really sure that joe schmoe tattoo artist will refuse tons of more customers because they want a type of ink that's easily removable. I'm sure looking at it from a purely ideal perspective makes you look superior but seriously a$$ loads more money or artistic integrity gee i gotta think about that one. The point of this product for all you tattoo freaks out there is to mainstream tattoos!! A LA MORE MONEY if you weren't paying attention before.
- dannyapplesauce, on 10/10/2007, -1/+8WHOOOSH ... That was the sound of the point of this article going way way over your head
- wupike, on 10/10/2007, -1/+8I don't get why you tattoo "pureists" are all up-in-arms... I like the idea of tattoos, I want one but I can't necessarily decide on a design I want for the rest of my life... This technology sounds like the perfect middle ground.
- dadood, on 10/10/2007, -0/+7My youtube video was about a talking urinal. WTF?
- Rossoneri22, on 10/10/2007, -0/+6I guess this means we should prepare ourselves for more pictures of ridiculous tattoos.
- SkippyDoorknob, on 10/10/2007, -1/+7Good luck finding a tattoo artist that will refuse your money because you may get their work removed.
- zedstream, on 10/10/2007, -0/+6"If you don't want to keep a tattoo forever, don't get one."
I hear what your saying, I really do. But I guarantee you this: you will not be the same person 20 years from now. You will not want to express the same things. As much as I like tattoos, I can't get one for that reason. - yakimushi, on 10/10/2007, -0/+6I think tattoo artists are as much in the service industry as they are in the art industry. It's not like a painter will refuse to sell you a painting because he suspects you might take it home and use it to patch your roof.
I think the real appeal for this ink is that
A. Its non-allergenic. As a person with allergies this holds great appeal. Traditional tattoo ink isn't FDA regulated. Who knows what's in it?
B. It's my body, I'll do what I want to it which means I'll have art placed on it and I'll have it taken off if I don't like it anymore. - vhalik, on 10/10/2007, -0/+6WOW!! Look at all the elitist crying about this new ink. Bunch of wankers. My wife wants a tattoo, but she is one of the rare few who are allergic to the ink. This could be an option for her.
- christianjb, on 10/10/2007, -1/+6I think tattoos should be made more painful. They're not yet manly enough for me. I prefer to have my work carved into my skin with a blunt infected needle leaving permanent scar tissue.
Also- it should be against the law for people to ever change their minds about anything. Everything you do in your 20's should follow you for the rest of your life.
Finally- let it be repeated that tattoo artists are artists with a capitol A. Their work is sacrosanct. Every one of them is a bona fide genius who could just as easily be displaying their work in a fine-art museum. To erase a tattoo would be like defacing a Van Gogh. - Barr08, on 10/10/2007, -2/+6Using it for normal tattoos and then using the same thing for other everyday uses aren't two mutually exclusive possibilites. And, it doesn't reduce physical pain, only reduces the pain of going through your adult life with the name of an ex-girlfriend on your lower back.
- nairanvac, on 10/10/2007, -0/+3Doesn't that defeat the purpose of getting someone's name tattooed on you? It's supposed to symbolize that the relationship will last for eternity, right?
- spamly, on 10/10/2007, -0/+3Why remove a tattoo? Who wouldn't want one like this:
http://tlc.discovery.com/fansites/miami-ink/slideshow/user_gallery/gallery20/gallery20_12.html - Corinthos, on 10/10/2007, -0/+3Sounds pretty great. Sure some artist won't use it, who cares. Most people think of tattoos are a fashion statement, now days. Fashion changes. If it catches on it then in the future you might have trouble finding someone who doesn't carry the ink.
- inactive, on 10/10/2007, -1/+4Correct...but that was a really, really bad analogy.
I have tattoos and will be getting more. The permanency is part of what I like about having the tattoo. I mean, seriously...if you don't want the ink forever, *don't* get a tat.
What this is going to lead to is an upsurge of crappy dolphin and fairy tattoos on women. Although, it *does* make it easier to get a girlfriend/boyfriend's name tattooed on you...and removed if the relationship goes sour. - Dhalgren, on 10/10/2007, -1/+4What about cost? Will 1 laser treatment be cheaper than the usual cost of removing a tattoo? I have nothing against tattoos, but I've never found an image that I want permanently on my body...
- AxeSwinger, on 10/10/2007, -0/+2Depends on the skin type of the person. Some people will get scars or the ink won't heat up correctly because the skin absorbs the energy differently.
- Elliuotatar, on 10/10/2007, -0/+2On a recent episode of American Chopper they contacted the Miami Ink guys to have some tattoo's done and this young girl on the show that they talked to was a real ass on the phone (she didn't think they took the "art" seriously) and they almost changed their minds until one of the older guys called to apologise for her superdickery.
- rocketoner, on 10/10/2007, -0/+2That is exactly the problem. tattoo artists are completely infallible, and should be treated as such. I am sure you have done extensive recent research, because anyone who doesn't agree with using this ink is an elitist. More than that, any one who uses this ink, hates freedom.
- HappyScrappy, on 10/10/2007, -1/+3Great. So now white people can get removable tattoos. Somehow I don't think this works any better on black people than laser removal of older tattoos does.
- rockefeller, on 10/10/2007, -1/+3Dugg down for using that hideous Boston accent in your sentence...."evah"......as in ever.
Just reading it is like nails on a chalkboard. - Mearn, on 10/10/2007, -0/+2Don't tell them it isn't permanent ;)
- PecanHead, on 10/10/2007, -0/+2No kidding. I shudder to think what kind of stupid-ass crap I would have tattooed on myself if I didn't know better. Fortunately, I had the insight to realize that I don't want to be explaining what the hell a "Van Halen" is to my grandchildren.
- LogicBomB, on 10/10/2007, -0/+2Umm... don't be so elitist. I'd love to get a tattoo of my online personality in logo form or a few video game characters or other nerdy things at this stage in my life. Once I have children or decide to get into a profession where that is not acceptable however I would want them gone.
If you think what you like now is what you'll like 40 years from now you are a ***** idiot. I'm only 23 but in those 23 years I can tell you my tastes have changed quite a bit. A nerdy tat now might be a story I don't want to tell later. - xenoploid, on 10/10/2007, -1/+3https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/10
- chrismgtis, on 10/10/2007, -0/+2I have been considering a tattoo on my arm of a parachute, as I am a skydiver, but now I will wait until this technology is available to me.
- inactive, on 10/10/2007, -0/+2They make glow in the dark tattoos
http://www.futurenews.at/uploads/glow-in-the-dark-tattoo.jpg - vhalik, on 10/10/2007, -0/+2To answer any other asinine questions she is allergic to metals commonly found in jewelry. Which is why we questioned the needle and ink being used by the tattoo artist.
- JEWestbrookJR, on 10/10/2007, -0/+2Yeah, great... just what the world needs. Something that encourages people to get reckless, retarded tattoos. There's already enough soccer mom's with tramp stamps and butterflies on their ankles, now imagine how many more there will be when it's more easily reversible. I have tattoos, and nothing is better than the fact that they are permanent. This goes against what tattoos even stand for. Poo on all this.
- AxeSwinger, on 10/10/2007, -0/+2It was not so long ago that if you were a tattoo artist moving into a new city you could get your hands broken from the competition. I know they've become mainstream but that old ethos is still around especially with the higher end tattooist. Almost anyone can tattoo flash but to do custom work you need an artist and those guys can be pretty hardcore although that is changing...
- inactive, on 10/10/2007, -1/+3So the ink is gone, but billions of little burst shards of plastic stay forever?
Doesn't sound great. - ultimathule, on 10/10/2007, -0/+2Let's go to the bar later.
- zedstream, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1You make some great comments. The problem with tatts is I'll be a different person in 20 years, but tatts are static. Change is the only constant.
- Shigglyboo, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1I've been waiting for this. I want a tattoo. but in five years who knows. you guys with the "real" tattoos gonna make fun of me? how you gonna know? actually what I'd really like is one of those vegetable tattoos that looks real and lasts for a few months then goes away. then I could have my entire body tattooed for a spell, and then be clean afterwards. great if you've got a job where you can have art all over your body, then you wanna go somewhere else where you can't, just wash it off. really all the backlash from people with tats is because you feel like body art becoming easier, more available and less permanent devalues what you've already done to yourself. I empathize, but get over it.
- inactive, on 10/10/2007, -1/+2I've had most of the tattoos I've had for over 20 years now. I love and cherish them as much today as I did when I got them. I'm pretty sure I'll feel the same in another 20 years.
- zedstream, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1Digg. If you're the same person in 20 years, you're boring as hell. The tatt will still be there, but most people will have moved on in such an interval. By that I mean they won't have outgrown tatts, they'll have changed what they want to express in body art.
- granolajoe, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1Yeah i want to sue for occular rape
- AxeSwinger, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1Sailor:)
- bombtheindustry, on 10/10/2007, -1/+2I don't think this will catch on very quickly. One of my good friends/former roommates was a tattoo apprentice. I've known several artists of all different walks of life, some from fancy places, some who learned in prison, and they all take tattooing very seriously. I've gotten the impression that tattoo artists generally feel that a tattoo should be permanent and using this ink would cheapen their work.
- Boshow, on 10/10/2007, -1/+2If this becomes popular, there will be two groups of tattoed people. People like me, with permanant tattoos, and people with the removable stuff. We will make fun of them.
- vuke69, on 10/10/2007, -1/+2What about the goldencasino forehead tattoo lady?
- mlandry, on 10/10/2007, -1/+2Heard about this on the radio this morning... http://www.freedom2ink.com/technology.asp
