Tattoos are WHAT?


News Flash: Tattoos are PERMANENT 



When you hear the word "tattoo", you may think of the image on the left... A simple, creative way to express your individuality.
However, you may also think of the images on the right... A stupid mistake that is now inked into your skin forever.




Contrary to popular belief of 20-year-olds, tattoos ARE in fact permanent, and WILL in fact still be there when you're older and going through a mid-life crisis. "No Ragrets" will definitely be a rEgret no matter who you are and what you think is "cool" at the time.

Many people do attempt to have their inked skin "restored" to near its original bare glory, which usually involves laser treatment. For this process, you must be willing to go to the removal center for multiple sessions (often up to 10 times), and spend a sizable amount each time you go ($200-$500 for most sessions), not including possible anesthetics and treatment cream. This means that you could end up spending over $10,000 for the removal of a tattoo you could have prevented 20 years prior by simply thinking before acting. 

So next time you have the impulse to get what you think is the "best tattoo ever", remember. You may feel differently when you're 40, or even next year or next week.

Just think before you go. And remember - ink on your skin will stay with you forever.
