Tattoo Removal
January 1, 2009 by
A tattoo is meant to be permanent. Unfortunately, what a person might want today may not be what he or she wants two or twenty years from now. Both the procedure of and cost of getting a tattoo are relatively minor in comparison to having it removed at a later date. It may be wise to consider these facts before visiting your local tattoo artist with design and cash in hand.
Two of the most commonly used methods of tattoo removal are also two of the most unsatisfactory. The first method involves removing a piece of skin from a less-noticeable part of your body, and grafting it on top of the tattoo. This odd form of “plastic surgery” covers up the tattoo, but generally leaves scar tissue, as the skin is not in its normal state. Another popular method is to simply go to a tattoo artist and have another design tattooed on top of the unwanted one. With this method, the black outline from the original tattoo will be noticeable through the new one; the larger the original, and the more black ink it has, the more difficult it will be to cover it.
A surgical method which is equally if not more unsatisfactory is called dermabrasion. In layman’s terms, you can think of it as going at your skin with sandpaper. Even when this method is performed by a licensed physician, you will likely decide that the resulting scar is worse than the original tattoo. The reason for the scarring is that removing a tattoo by this method means going through the tattoo and the underlying skin. The scarring left by this method will leave that portion of your skin a much lighter color and a different texture than the surrounding skin. Of all tattoo removal methods currently in practice, dermabrasion is the method which will leave the most noticeable scarring.
Please be advised that you should always consult a doctor before taking any medical advice.

I enlisted in the U.S. Navy in March 1946 … later that year, in Norfolk, on impulse, I got a tattoo of the American Eagle and Anchor with start and the letters USN on my right forearm. I was immediately disappointed with the with the skimpy lines design. Walking down the street I recognized a familiar name … COLEMAN. My dad had 'chain' tattoos around his wrist and in his navy photo album had a post card of the Coleman's Tattoo Studio. The next day, I stopped in and asked Mr. Coleman if he would retouch my tattoo. He told me that he doesn't 'fix' other peoples bad designs … but … if I got one of 'his tattoos' on my left forearm to balance things out, he might consider matching 'his colors' on the other arm and touch up the skimpy lines. He told me to come back in about a week to let the recent one heal up. I selected his 'Clipper Ship' design. Sixty-four years later, a local tattoo artist asked when I got them and couldn't believe that the colors were almost perfect and the lines only slightly spread. I enjoyed reading your “The Forefathers of Tattooing”. Thanks for making it public.

The allegation that the South Dakota ban would prevent treatment of tubal pregnancies is untrue. The SD ban includes an exception for the life of the mother. Here is the actual text of the law.
No licensed physician who performs a medical procedure designed or intended to
prevent the death of a pregnant mother is guilty of violating section 2 of this Act. However, the physician shall make reasonable medical efforts under the circumstances to preserve both the life of the mother and the life of her unborn child in a manner consistent with conventional medical practice.
Medical treatment provided to the mother by a licensed physician which results in the accidental or unintentional injury or death to the unborn child is not a violation of this statute.
Since a tubal pregnancy threatens the life of the mother and the child cannot be saved, performing a tubal “abortion” would not be a violation of the law.
As far as health exceptions go, the law does not allow for health exceptions because they are generally used as a giant loophole. “The mother's blood pressure has changed, therefore we can have an abortion.” Typically it is argued that mental disorder is also a health issue, therefore if the mother suffers anxiety over the pregnancy she can get an abortion.
This law allows for abortion when the life of the mother is at stake, but otherwise diallows abortion. You can argue over whether abortion should be allowed, but at least make honest arguments.
I have recently been thrown into the world of a tattoo artist. My boss at work is a tattoo artist and airbrush artist on the side she's fantastic at it too. She wants to become a a “real” tattoo artist but doesn't get many chances to practice the trade. Hasn't stopped people from coming into our store (a sporting goods store) and asking for her to do a tat or to touch up a bad one someone got somewhere else.
Tattooing is a very interesting field of art and in my opinion takes the most dedication. I mean its something that ideally someone will want to look at everyday for the rest of their life
needs to shut up, get some lip balm for his chapped lips, and then get his ugly mouth some plastic surgery & dental work.
