    Default Freedom-2 new tat ink

    This new tattoo ink is suppose to be coming out soon. I would love to see post laser removal pics of the ink vs traditional ink. What are your guys' thoughts on this?

    Would or wouldn't you consider this ink in your first or other tattoo(s)?

    I've been considering it.

    I wish they had ink that just faded and dissapeared on it's own after a year or two.

    I like the material engineering involved better than the concept of TEMPORary tats.... a tattoo, by definition, is permanent... The fact that you will display a certain design for the rest of your life is part of why having a tattoo is so profound and requires (ideally) so much consideration, time, effort, and care in selecting an appropriate design, talented artist, and proper placement on the body.

    I think the "freedom" idea is representative of a culture that is still too conservative to fully embrace tattoos, too apathetic and wishy-washy to embrace permanence, and so afraid of commitment as to try to change a process that has been around for thousands of years and give people an OPTION.

    Real tattoos aren't SUPPOSED to have options. Am I supposed to pity people in their youth and stupidity when they got their BF's name above their coochie, or their present unwillingness to commit to the band name they fear will be "out of date" within a decade? Screw that. This ENCOURAges people to get tattoos that have temporary meaning.

    I'm with Embyr. This sort of violates the whole point of tattoing. You might as well just draw on yourself with a Sharpie like we did in junior high.

    i completly agree. getting my tattoo was such an important decision, and something like this would cheepen it. people who want a permanent tattoo don't need this, and all the flighty people who like this shit should just get henna.

    hey itll make the tattoo buisness boom, if people are stupid enough to want temorary tattoos at permanent tattoo prices let the morons come. itll fatten my bf's wallet.

    youll still be looked on as lame while walking out the door with your sweet temporary tattoo.

    Thats what I was thinking that it might look shitty. I love my orange lotus and plan on adding more to it once I find a design I like. I get the water stick on temp tats but temp ink defeats the purpose of tattooing. Same with fake piercings.

    I think it's cool too. I don't see anything "conservative" "apathetic" or "wishy-washy" about it, although I appreciate the passion and eloquence of Embyr's post.

    So many people get tattoos anyway that don't give the sort of thought that you'd think they would, and personally, I see nothing rebellious or committed about people with tattoos, maybe a few decades ago, but now it's more surprising to see someone without one, at least where I live.

    I also don't like the way tattoos look on older people and as with body piercings, I'd want mine removed as I got wrinkly.

    I'm with Lena on this one. This new ink is still too permanent for me! I don't want to go through the pain of lasering.

    I have friend that's all excited about this, he's Jewish and can't get one since he won't be able to be buried in a Jewish cemetery, he's thinking about this as an option now.

    I agree. Although I have none. I dont get why someone would get this ink, unless of course they are being wreckless with all their decisions at the time.

    But then again,having seen some HORRIBLE jail house type work done on people that regret the hell out of it ..I back the invention.

    put it this way. My friends that do this work will see an increase in sales.

    Wow, you guys beat me to it really fast. I thought I was going to be the only one who felt this way. It would be new and fun but it wouldn't really be a TATTOO. However, if I were ever going to get a tat, it would certainly be with something easily removed (hypocritical, aren't I?). But, that's simply because the thought of something permanently etched on my body scares the crap out of me.

    That's a myth, BTW. Tattooed Jews are buried in Jewish cemeteries all the time.

    I think it's kinda cool that the option is there for people who want it. Still no tats for me, permanent or otherwise.

    I'm wondering how widespread this will be. Will certain studios embrace it, and others refuse to offer it? I could definitely see a schism in the tattooing industry, esp. depending upon clientele base (big, more commercial shops w/ more foot traffic vs. smaller custom-ink shops). I will be keeping an eye on this... very interesting.

    I think a lot of the people who are trying to assign a deeper meaning to tattoos are conveniently forgetting that a lot of people don't want them to be permanent because tats look fucking nasty on old, saggy skin.

    I can see an entire generation of old women in a few decades stretching out the skin on their arms to try to explain the deep meaning their full sleeve has or tightening the skin on their lower backs to discuss their "tribal" tramp stamp.

    This, to me, sounds great. Young, firm skin is the best display for a tattoo. How many artists do you see paint on saggy, flaccid canvas?

    But isn't the whole point of getting a tattoo is to express your individuality and that you don't care what people think?

    Really? Not according to him. I understand the premise behind this but he says that's the deal. Maybe it's just his family's things. He says his dad's againts tats. Us Catholics don't know anything! LOL!

    A lot of Jews are under that impression but it's not true.

    But, however distasteful we may find the practice there is no basis for restricting burial to Jews who violate this prohibition or even limiting their participation in synagogue ritual. The fact that someone may have violated the laws of kashrut at some point in his or her life or violated the laws of Shabbat would not merit such sanctions; the prohibition against tattooing is certainly no worse.
    That is, many acts are prohibited (e.g., eating shellfish, lighting a fire on Shabbat, etc.), but people who do them aren't prohibited from being buried in a Jewish cemetery. Any person who was born to a Jewish mother or who converted is considered a Jew for life.
    I first thought of tattooing as a Jewish issue when I received a curious call from a young person I did not know. Her mother had told her that a person with tattoos could not be buried in a Jewish cemetery. She asked me if it was true. Frankly, the mother’s claim sounded to me like a fabrication of the I. C. J. P., you know, the International Conspiracy of Jewish Parents. I reassured the young woman that bodies are not inspected for tattoos prior to interment in Jewish cemeteries.
    The general consensus is that tattoos are most likely forbidden (though there is an argument that only idolatrous tattoos are), but the tattooed Jew is still a Jew and can definitely be buried as one.

    Is your boyfriend a big fan of "Curb Your Enthusiasm" by any chance?

    The process starts with pigments free of heavy metals and other toxins that can induce an allergic reaction or produce other health problem in some people.
    -that- is why it interests me. i don't mind the perm. factor. i have two tattoos already, but i always worry about the chemicals.
