I have nothing against tattoos; they can look great on the right people, but they fade, they stretch, and you age. In five or ten years you may regret getting a normal tattoo - especially if its in a prominent place.

However, a few months ago, I was reading an article about tattoo removal, focusing on types of ink used. It was a discussion on a (relatively) new type of ink that can be used which supposedly can be removed with only one treatment of laser removal (as opposed to the numerous painful and expensive appointments that it takes to get a regular tattoo removed).

Pros - easily removable.

Cons - relatively new, so no information on fading
- not available everywhere
- as yet, not available in color
