My body is a canvas and I<br \/>\nlove to express with it.\u201d<br \/>\nOne person had a half-bodied<br \/>\nJapanese tattoo art style known as<br \/>\n\u201cIrezumi,\u201d which roughly transliterates<br \/>\n\u201cpricking the skin with blue<br \/>\nor green ink.\u201d Pop-culture calls it<br \/>\na \u201cbody suit.\u201d<br \/>\n\u201cI love the surprise of taking a<br \/>\ntwo-dimensional art and placing it<br \/>\non a three-dimensional form.\u201d<br \/>\nRunner up reasons to get a tattoo<br \/>\nwere: loving the tattoo culture,<br \/>\nenjoying freedom of expression,<br \/>\novercoming a difficult experience,<br \/>\nspreading a specific message \u2013<br \/>\nfrom poetry to religion<br \/>\n\u2013 and enjoying the shared experience<br \/>\nwhen a viewer actually<br \/>\ngets the message. Some messages<br \/>\nwere as elaborate as Virginia<br \/>\nWolfe quotes to smaller Tibetan<br \/>\nsymbols.<br \/>\nNaturally, for every positive<br \/>\nexperience, there are negative<br \/>\nside effects. Reasons to remove<br \/>\na tattoo were small, but significant<br \/>\nwarnings: bad tattoos, heartbreak<br \/>\nand one even affected comfort-<br \/>\nlevel in an otherwise happy<br \/>\ncareer experience.<br \/>\nThe worst parts of removing a<br \/>\ntattoo were also significant and<br \/>\nshould be considered before getting<br \/>\none put on. Removal was a<br \/>\n\u201cpainful, long process\u201d that \u201cinvolved<br \/>\nburning the skin with a<br \/>\ncold laser until it blistered\u201d and<br \/>\n\u201cthe higher your tolerance for pain<br \/>\nis, the better the removal is.\u201d Do<br \/>\nit with a cold laser and \u201cresearch<br \/>\nwhere you have it done and follow<br \/>\nthe directions you\u2019re given,<br \/>\nfor best results.\u201d<br \/>\nThe two people who removed<br \/>\ntheir tattoos had to receive an average<br \/>\nof five treatments. One set of<br \/>\ntreatments happened a long time<br \/>\nago and only cost $200. The newer<br \/>\nremoval cost $800 per treatment.
