I am dismayed (too strong a word, I don't think so) by the advent of easily removed tattoos. It speaks volumes on our society (can you tell which view I take?). The concept smacks of the "I Love you but I'm not in Love with you" trend we have. If you think you might not want a tattoo for life, you shouldn't get one (sorry fence sitters). Or get one of those nice airbrushed ones, or try Henna. My point is, there have long been options for the permanence-phobes.

It is a case of having one's cake, and eating it too [side note, if anyone could explain where that turn of phrase came from, I'd love to know!]. Folks, a tattoo is supposed to be permanent (although my heart goes out to you kids who arrive home from Spring Break with Tinkerbell on their right butt cheek). We are rapidly becoming a disposable culture - sometimes you need to make a decision and stick by it!
