Female Focus Are Tattoos Still Popular?
Recently there was a two-day casting call for extras, lots of them, for shooting to begin on the popular HBO fantasy drama ‘Game Of Thrones’ season six, in Devesa park Girona. The strict criterion was for, no fatties or tramp stamps, in fact, no tattoos of any kind—good luck with that. Spain’s latest figures released showing that Spaniards are getting fatter with 34.4 percent of the population overweight and 9 percent obesity between the ages of 18 and 34.
Now tattoos have become common place and a part of the mainstream no longer viewed as exclusive to those who ignore signs saying do-not-enter. Notching up statistics of 1 in 5 going under the sterilised needle however, many are turning to tattoo removal clinics as the novelty wears off and regret sets in. Especially those people who have had their hands, necks, faces or any visible areas that can’t be concealed with a shirt while they fill in the form to run for local government.
It always makes me laugh when I read statements like - what are they going to look like when they are ninety. Most people’s vanity recedes before sixty, thankful they are still alive and have way too many other things to worry about than a Gordy worn out tattoo on their now sagging bits that only their Doc will see.
Laser Removal
Advances in Q-switched laser technology mean tattoo removal can be achieved with minimal risk of permanent pigmentary alteration and scarring. There are some factors to consider when contemplating tattoo removal: type of tattoo, location, age and your skin type. Treatment with the Q-switch
laser can be painful so you should begin by obtaining a pre- operative history consultation.
Lasers remove tattoos by breaking up the pigment colours with a high-intensity light beam. The light is absorbed by the tattoo ink particles, leaving the surrounding skin tissue unharmed. The ink absorbs the laser energy, heats up, and shatters into smaller ink particles. The body’s immune system, after time, flushes away the shattered ink particles, causing the tattoo to fade. Over a series of treatments, more and more of the ink breaks up, leaving the skin free of the tattoo.
Black tattoos are easier to treat. The pigment absorbs all laser wavelengths. Other colours can only be treated by selected lasers based upon each individual pigment colour. Tattoo removal technology is the future hot new investment product along with that machine yet to be invented that removes embarrassing selfies from the internet.
Maybe the solution is to improve the temporary tattoo market so people can live with their choice for a short while or is it too late are tattoos slowly becoming unfashionable?
