The number of Americans sporting tattoos seems to be on the rise and yet another group is acquiring new members.  This new group is a group of those who want their tattoo removed. But what these newcomers are quickly learning that taking off their “forever art” is not quite as easy as putting it on.

However, there is a new hope that is on the horizon or so it seems.   With the invention of removable tattoo ink, by Freedom2Ink, the thought of a tattoo being forever might come a thing of the past.  A group of founding doctors, with a goal to help those who have come to regret permanently decorating their bodies with tattoos, worked to develop this new ink so that it could eventually be removed should the bearer so choose.    

Freedom-2's ink is removable because it is encapsulated in tiny beads made of polymethylmethacrylate, a synthetic material common in surgical glue and in many types of artificial joints. The sphere-encased ink looks and feels the same as current inks used in tattooing, and will remain in place as long as desired.  If the tattooed person decides later that they no longer want the tattoo, it will be easily removed by applying laser energy to the beads causing them to fall apart in a single laser treatment.

With tattoo removal made easier and the fear of lifelong commitment removed, it seems the floodgates may be about to pour open with the folks on the fence about getting a tattoo now ready to take the plunge.

As for the rest of the inked nation wanting to forget their forever art, tattoo removal is still achievable, it just comes in due time.

Business is booming for the doctors who have signed on using lasers to erase the colorful pasts of millions. Wiping the slate clean of unwanted ink is a process growing in popularity, but is the expense and pain really worth it?

The tattoo boom of the early 1990s has introduced a rise in tattoo regret.  More and more fellow fad followers now want to undo their tattoos, creating greater demand for tattoo removal.

A 2006 study published in The Journal of the American Academy of Dermatology found that 24 percent of Americans ages 18 to 50 are tattooed. Of those, 17 percent had considered tattoo removal.  And the top reason for wanting to remove a tattoo was a faded romance, according to dermatologists.

Although laser tattoo removal, is becoming more popular it is not as simple for the “inked” as one may think.  If you are considering laser tattoo removal take a closer look at removal reality: it is not quick, cheap, or painless. 

A professionally designed tattoo averages six to 10 or more treatments. Each session is in the ballpark of $250 and $500, and requires a 6-8 week healing time between appointments. 

So is getting a tattoo worth the money and hassle? For a select group of people it is.  Their tattoo symbolizes a permanent mark with deep significant meaning.   And then there are the majority of others, those with a carefree and impulsive mindset, craving to change their appearance.  It’s these individuals who should carefully consider forgoing the tattoo ink and opting to change their hair color instead. 

No worries should you fear tattoo regret. For a price and a little pain there is an unlimited resource of physicians ready to fire up the laser and take a blast at removing your past.
