as a tattooist and tattoo collector, I think that this ink is a good thing. The reality is that many people get stupid tattoos when they are young, and eventually wind up regretting it. then their choices are removal, living with it, or getting a cover-up, hopefully with something they will like better. for these people, this ink is ideal. most of these people have no concept of what tattoo, in it's historical and shamanic context, is really all about. When you have a tattoo that is done well, and has been carefully chosen to reflect something of yourself that is fundamental, you would be horrified if someone suggested to you that you remove it. it is a totem, a reminder of your ideal self, or a reminder of a time in your life. In conclusion, choose wisely, and you will never need to remove it.
