A: Tattoo removal

TATTOO REGRET IS COMMON: Don’t like that lower back tattoo of a unicorn that you got four years ago? You’re not alone. According to the American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery, the number of people undergoing laster tattoo removal increased 43-percent from 2011 to 2012, and another recent survey found that nearly a third of those polled suffer from tattoo regret. One expert notes that tattoo removal is painful, and may feel like a rubber band is being snapped at the skin. Dr. Anthony Youn advises to think hard about getting a permanent reminder for what may be a temporary feeling and that if you do commit to a tattoo, to make sure the tattoo parlor is licensed and clean and that the needles and ink are sterile.
