Pained expression

Tattoos are consistent: they hurt going on and coming off. But that's probably part of their allure - a double testament to your devotion to that special person, pirate, mermaid or who or whatever convinced you to have a tattoo etched into your flesh by inserting ink under the skin (or by producing scars).
But the question is whether it's still as much of a commitment if there is a relatively easy way of removing said tattoo. And there now is. It's a new way of applying the dye which can then be removed with a single laser treatment. Of course it costs more than the regular dyes but given the multiple laser treatments required for removing conventional tattoos, if you're not absolutely sure about the commitment, and know you don't always cope well with excrutiating pain, it might be a worthwhile each-way bet.
