A new tattooing process is being developed using microencapsulation - the dye is contained in tiny little capsules with a biodegradable polymer coating around it. When someone wishes they had not gotten the tattoo, a single laser treatment will burst the capsules making the tattoo disappear in one laser treatment.

So, would ease of removal make it you more likely to get some body art?

Would you be more likely to get a tattoo if you knew that it could be removed easily

I'd get it anyway. (Already have.) The only thing I can see this resulting in is more dumb Frat boys getting the Tasmanian Devil tattooed on their a s ses.

No it sounds artificial compared to real tattoos I rather get a real one than that type.

Funny, I just heard about this process this morning. Personally, I think it is a bunch of crap. If you are thinking about removing your tattoo when you are getting it then you probably should not be getting it in the first place.

I have 5 of them and am eager to get some more. I would not want them if they were not permanent - really permanent. They tell the story of my life. True, some of them I do not like as much as others but I was in that space when I got them.

I already have tattoos and I do not regret them. I am not getting anymore, but I am happy with what I got.

Nope. I still would not think it is worth it to get the tattoo.

On the other hand, other people will get tattoos reguardless of the initial pain, and probably will never wish to have them removed. People love tattoos because they're like a life scrapbook, one you can remember always. They may even be upset that the tattoos are not ''really there,'' or ''really permanent.''
