You still have to go get it removed so it's pretty much permanant until you do so / if you do so.

Just having this technology out there means that normal tattoos could be mistaken for removable ones anyways. So why not get the removable one that in 30 years you can remove.

The purists will probably still stay away from it but most people would welcome this and it will lead to more business for tattoo artists etc.]]>Dec 26th 2006 8:35PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/12/26/new-tattoo-ink-means-4ever-neednt-be-permanent/http://www.engadget.com/2006/12/26/new-tattoo-ink-means-4ever-neednt-be-permanent/
My view, if you're not ready to make the commitment of putting on something permanent you shouldn't do it in the first place. If you do it drunk then you really deserve what you're getting. As well as if you find a tatoo artist who'll tattoo you drunk the artist should have his or her business licence revoked, it's not only stupid but also potentially dangerous from a bleeding point of view (alcohol makes you bleed more and coagulate slower).]]>Dec 26th 2006 9:24PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/12/26/new-tattoo-ink-means-4ever-neednt-be-permanent/http://www.engadget.com/2006/12/26/new-tattoo-ink-means-4ever-neednt-be-permanent/
But I wouldn't want to do it to some drunk frat boy who wants Power/Idiot (in the requisite Chinese characters, of course) tattooed on their arm.]]>Dec 27th 2006 12:08AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/12/26/new-tattoo-ink-means-4ever-neednt-be-permanent/http://www.engadget.com/2006/12/26/new-tattoo-ink-means-4ever-neednt-be-permanent/
As someone who's had over 60 hours of work done, and spent a lot of time around tattoo artists, you're right on the money in my book.

Depending on the artist, area, design, etc bleeding can be a problem. Reputable artists know that, and should refuse to tattoo those who are inebriated.

Plus, they also know that their work is what's in question... Excessive bleeding makes doing the work harder.

Not to mention the loss in reputation that comes along with the formerly drunk sorority sister who's now unhappy with the Tasmanian Devil she had tattooed on her hip. ]]>Dec 27th 2006 1:23AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/12/26/new-tattoo-ink-means-4ever-neednt-be-permanent/http://www.engadget.com/2006/12/26/new-tattoo-ink-means-4ever-neednt-be-permanent/
I dare you to do it!!! Only because you said it though.

The same way the original ink is permanent until you get treatment done to it.

They're both ink, one's just more advanced so the removal process is easier than the old school method.
Nothing wrong with that.
Seems to me that the only people who are getting all high and mighty with their ill artsy do or die logic are the ones who now wish they'd have waited.

This will quickly become the preferred method, as it ends up becoming the highest in demand.

Lastly, I love this because alt.porn model applicants are going to skyrocket overnight once this stuff hits the shelves.

And tattoo artists who refuse the business that this new product is going to sweep in are silly little fools.
This is a great advancement.

Did you read the linked article? Do you have any connection with the tattoo community?

As it says in the article, tattoo artists are rather fussy with their inks. They use inks that have been tested for quite some time with known side effects (if any). This is a new ink that's still rather untested in the long run. While it is removable it's anyone's guess what kind of reactions the body may have to it a few years down the line. There have been rather violent reactions to new inks in the past, so what's to say people won't have severe allergic reactions to this ink as well?

While I do think that there will be people in the community that will both tattoo with the ink and get tattoed by artists using the ink it won't strike too wide. The demand for it might be big, but that doesn't mean that it'll be in the stockpile of every tattoo artist. For the artists themselves this is also quite an intrusion into their artistic integrity. It's a bit like selling someone a painting that can be magically erased again. ]]>Dec 27th 2006 2:10AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/12/26/new-tattoo-ink-means-4ever-neednt-be-permanent/http://www.engadget.com/2006/12/26/new-tattoo-ink-means-4ever-neednt-be-permanent/Dec 27th 2006 11:52AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/12/26/new-tattoo-ink-means-4ever-neednt-be-permanent/http://www.engadget.com/2006/12/26/new-tattoo-ink-means-4ever-neednt-be-permanent/

Works nicely. I am really suprised you didnt even mention it. I think you were just trying to make the article and product of easily remvablt ink, more marketable by mentioning laser treatment as the only viable option for tattoo removal.

Shame!]]>Dec 27th 2006 7:50PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/12/26/new-tattoo-ink-means-4ever-neednt-be-permanent/http://www.engadget.com/2006/12/26/new-tattoo-ink-means-4ever-neednt-be-permanent/Dec 27th 2006 9:03AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/12/26/new-tattoo-ink-means-4ever-neednt-be-permanent/http://www.engadget.com/2006/12/26/new-tattoo-ink-means-4ever-neednt-be-permanent/

do yourself a favor and study "the art of not being offended." would you rather they post a picture of a man w/ a tech tattoo on his arm? i'm 99% sure that no male readers would feel alienated by such a shot. don't mean to jump on you, but it ticks me off that our society is getting increasingly PC, to the point of extreme homogenization.]]>Dec 27th 2006 4:59PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/12/26/new-tattoo-ink-means-4ever-neednt-be-permanent/http://www.engadget.com/2006/12/26/new-tattoo-ink-means-4ever-neednt-be-permanent/Dec 27th 2006 3:09PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/12/26/new-tattoo-ink-means-4ever-neednt-be-permanent/http://www.engadget.com/2006/12/26/new-tattoo-ink-means-4ever-neednt-be-permanent/

This is hardly the sort of thing that could be found offensive by anybody with even a microscopic sense of humor. One could effectively argue that it's actually a fitting image considering the content of the story and the nature of the blog on which it was posted. I think the vast majority of readers, be they male or female, are able to see the harmless fun in the intent. Perhaps you should lighten up a bit...]]>Dec 28th 2006 9:58AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/12/26/new-tattoo-ink-means-4ever-neednt-be-permanent/http://www.engadget.com/2006/12/26/new-tattoo-ink-means-4ever-neednt-be-permanent/By the way I don't mind to push that button !!]]>Dec 28th 2006 10:59AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/12/26/new-tattoo-ink-means-4ever-neednt-be-permanent/http://www.engadget.com/2006/12/26/new-tattoo-ink-means-4ever-neednt-be-permanent/
