In a recent survey done by UMR a Sydney based research company, they have found that of 1,000 people 53% dislike tattoos on the opposite sex. The numbers of tattoo aficionados are decreasing, which is bad news for tattoo parlors and great news for tattoo removal clinics. This survey actually goes against the recent trend among twenty-somethings who are getting their body's inked with marks of travel, inside jokes and national pride. Likewise, some researchers have said that tattoo rates have increased significantly over the years because tattoo removal is a viable option.
Tattoo removal is not only cost-efficient it removes not only the tattoo, but the stigma of 'forever' with tattoos. More and more people get tattoos then years down the line get them removed once they are stung with a case of buyer's remorse.
