Why more Aussies are rethinking the ink

People have their reasons. Some do it because of a job opportunity, when an employer doesn’t allow visible tattoos. Some do it because of a break-up with someone whose name is emblazoned across their heart. And others do it because they thought the smiling tattooist in Bangkok was inking the Thai word for “love” on their back when, in fact, it said “chicken”.iStock

Australians love getting ink under the skin. Three years ago, McCrindle Research found that one in five of us have at least one tattoo. But they also found 31 per cent of those people regretted getting it. The process for removal involves a laser shattering the ink in the skin. The ink fragments are then absorbed into the body’s lymphatic system and slowly excreted over a period of weeks. Although it’s important a high-quality machine is used, it’s not just about the technology, but the person using it.“It’s like a car,” says Quinn. “You can buy a Ferrari, but if you don’t know how to drive it, you’re probably going to go straight into a telegraph pole.

Only 30%? I love mine! I'm in the majority! Just one tattoo at age 50 and I do not regret it at all! Lets slant this the other way 'One in five... has at least one tattoo but nearly 70% do not regret it'

Doesn't that mean that70 percent majority don't

More people regret voting Liberal corrupt ICAC
