Women are getting their tattoos removed.
By admin | July 26, 2008
Tattoos have become increasingly popular among US young people, but women may be more likely than men to regret getting tattoo designs so much that they try to have it removed, researchers said.
About a quarter of Americans aged 18 to 30 have at least one tattoo, and this figure is expected jump to 40%in the next few years, the researchers have said a while ago.
Along with lots of happy customers - an estimated 80% are pleased with their tattoos - some are so unhappy that they undergo laser treatment to have them erased. An estimated 6% of tattoo customers eventually undergo procedures to erase them. A team led by Texas Tech University’s Myrna Armstrong went to tattoo removal clinics in Arizona, Colorado, Massachusetts and Texas to see who was getting rid of their tattoos and why. They found that about two-thirds of them were women who were feeling embarassed by their tattoos.
This is just one more reason to think carefully before you get a tattoo for yourself. Maybe you should get a fake tattoo for sometime so that you can decide whether you really want to go for permanent tattoos.
