Buyer's Remorse? Don't Fret

For those of you questioning your tattoo, whether it is a mark of the past and your youth, or simply you want some change you are in luck. The current economic downturn has in fact bred more tattoo removal clinics and more people seeking out the procedure. Some industry observers believe the unemployment rates and the competitive job market is leading to more people regretting their body-art. In saying so, clinics around US cities are booming and people made redundant are lining up by the droves to remove their tattoos. KBMT News an ABC affiliate reported, "For people with visible tattoos, the struggle to get hired may be a little more difficult. That's why many American's are deciding to get their tattoos removed to help their job prospects. It is estimated that over 45 million Americans have tattoos and around 17% of those people end up regretting it." Similarly some people believe that as tattooing becomes more popular so too does removal. Many people impulsively get tattoos while traveling or out partying. And according to some reports tattoos among teenagers and twentysomethings are also increasing.
