dsc.discovery.com— Afraid to commit? You're not alone. Tattoos are painful to receive and remove and, barring the later, last a lifetime. But a new technique makes skin art durable and easily removable.

She went to a tattoo shop and had her skin tested. Tested meaning that she had a dot tattooed on her to see if there was an allergic reaction. Next time don't assume.
To 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.
Don't tattoo anyone's name on yourself unless it's your mothers. It's like a curse. The minute you put that other persons name on your arm...off they go. Get a Dali or a Picasso.
Some of you guys seem to really be against what appears to be a GREAT idea. You are all thinking "now" and for yourselves. What if your teen daughter comes home with her then-boyfriend's name on her arm? What happens if (when) your tastes change 10 years down the line? It's a PERMANENT tattoo but only requires 1 laser treatment to remove instead of 7. How do you people consider this anything but a GREAT advancement of the field?
No 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.
yea . . NO. If you want to get that done now they have to go over what is there, there are many cases where they cant fix what was done. This technology will allow pieces of a tattoo to be removed (say you wanted to get the face of a pinup tat that is 20 years old re-done) giving the artist a blank slate.
I agree, people with the old tattoos are gonna be jealous of this new ink. They're gonna have some crap ass tattoo and when they're older, they may really regret it and wish they could easily remove it! I say BRING FORTH THE NEW TATTOO!!!
