Jo-Anne's Thoughts

 

Good morning all not real cold thankfully, well here we are at Friday a day for Jo-Anne's thoughts and this week I am thinking about tattoos.

Tattoos are not a new thing but they have become far more common place, there was a time when you wouldn't see many females with them, nor would you see a cop with a tattoo but that has changed.

I have a few small tattoos myself and Tim has one on his upper arm, my daughters all have tattoos but two of them have gone overboard in my opinion.

I just don't think having them on one's face and neck to be a good look on either men or females.

I have often wondered how often some looks at their tattoos and think what the hell was I thinking getting this done. I know my niece regrets getting a big tattoo on her back of a skull with blood dripping from it. But when you are young you are often going to make some bloody stupid decisions because you are young and think you know everything.

These things are pretty much permanent as having them removed isn't easy or cheap.

Surgical removal, also called excision tattoo removal, involves cutting off tattooed skin and stitching remaining skin back together. It's the most invasive method of tattoo removal, but also the only guaranteed way to completely remove a tattoo.

Prices for tattoo removal vary based on such factors as removal method, tattoo size, existing scars, skin colour, body part, ink colours, and ink depth cost can run into the thousands.
