You’re out with the boys and get stoned to the gills. Before you know what happened
the group decides that everyone should get a tattoo. In a fog of tequila and ganja, you ask the tattoo artist to draw a picture of a large tongue with your girlfriend’s name on it. That was two years ago. Now, you have a different girlfriend and want to apply for a job in an upscale company. Your pornographic tattoo won’t do and you decide to have it removed. This is great news for dermatologists (skin doctors) who are doing a booming business removing tattoos. Laser treatments can zap most tattoos within about five or six sessions, but those using green, yellow and purple ink are difficult to remove. It may take 20 treatments, which can cause scarring and discoloration. If you must have a tattoo, put it in a place that doesn’t show and don’t use green, yellow or purple inks. Also, avoid including someone’s name in the design— today’s dream girl is tomorrow‘s ex-wife. (CNN, September 20, 2007)
