I agree! DS had a red maple leaf tattooed between his shoulder blades.
His reason being is he wants to make sure everyone knows he is
Canadian. DD has a small tattoo just at the top of buttocks. That
should look wonderful with a couple of stretch marks if she ever has
kids I thinks some are going to regret getting the tattoos but
others won't the same as piercings. Another DS had his eyebrow pierced
but quickly lost it in order to secure the job he really wanted. We've
learned over the years not to make a big deal over these types of things
as they tend to resolve themselves as the kids mature. However, anyone
going into tattoo removal could make a killing financially! I'm paying
$160 per laser treatment for melasma that should take 3 treatments. I
just checked the services offered pamphlet by my dermatologist. Pricing
for tattoo removal starts at $275 per treatment. The number of
treatments are determined by the number of colours, size, design, and
location of the tattoo. The pamphlet indicates that tattoo removal may
take several laser treatments. I would think it is cheaper to get the
tattoo than remove it.
