Ok - this is sort of off-topic, but I will ask anyway.
I have recently been offered a share in a tattoo removal shop in Perth.
There seems to be a lot of tattoo aficionados on this forum and I was wondering what you thought of the idea of investing in a tattoo removal shop.
TIA.

If a viable and reliable way of removing tattoos is ever invented I think it will go gangbusters but that day is a long way off at present.
Do a bit of research and you will find that removal is difficult and potentially dangerous - burning and scarring are common complications with lasers. It takes good equipment and a highly skilled operator to perform a successful removal and even then complete "it was never there" success is usually not possible.
You are more likely to end up on the wrong side of a lawsuit than to make a fortune removing tattoos.
As someone else once said: "Think before you ink"

Surely it'd make good money. I think at least 80% of people aged 18-30 have tattoos and it's only a matter of time until they want to remove a bogan Bali tattoo. Will be a booming industry in the future.

I have seen some elderly men's tattoos and they have faded quite a lot
I am.not sure is its because of there age or the age of the tattoo for that matter.
but I think in the nineteen fifties there was not much use of colour like today or the fact that inks where not high quality.
so on men what do you think would be good to keep a tattoo looking as best is can.
I know that sun and aged skin does not help to keep them looking there best
Really the best thing you can do is just try to keep out of the sun as much as possible and keep your skin moisturised. It's true that older inks weren't of the same quality as the ones used now, and they do tend to fade more and get that greenish tinge to them over time.

Ive said before but i have 2 Tattoos and while im looking to get 1 of them flowed into a sleeve i havent found both the right design and the right tattooist.
As to other people having tats, well that was their choice and they have to live with it.
Ive always noticed that people without tats are alot more judgemental about it then people with.

I have had my tat a few years now and I think the colour is still quite good.
I have very dry skin.
I have QV lotion here would that be ok or a proper moisturiser cream .
although if there is any skin specialists reading this your thoughts would be appreciated.
I am still thinking of my next piece of art I want to get. and where to have it done.

I think the label of someone with a tat as being someone you don't want to get involved with has kinda stuck with some people. And I think this is quite sad.
But you can't change people who are judgmental.
If a person can't be excepted as freind or lover because of a tattoo then it is there lose.

My ( I will say stupid) son has only recently had a largish tattoo above the collar of his shirt So Adam's apple chin and part of his cheek
Unemployed and no skills and now another impediment to getting a job
But to go back to WoodyWil 's question on moisturiser etc This is the product given him by his tattoo guy

Hello happy
when I had my tat finished the artist sold me a tube similar to this
but I thought it was to heal the skin and and help with the colours etc
many years later. I still have no regrets having it. but I did not know this cream can be used many years later.
I have very dry skin and I use QV body lotion it comes in containers up to 1.5 liters I think
so maybe this is a cheaper option ?
I will have a look at this cream thought thank you

He was given the above cream for initial care as you said Then told to just buy Aveeno from the supermarket
"Aveno is a daily moisturizing lotion. It is fragrance free and non-greasy. Aveeno helps to protect and moisturize. Avoid over moisturizing, this can damage the tattoo. It is noncomedogenic, meaning it won't clog your pores. Aveeno varies depending on product, size, and quantity. Typically one bottle averages around $8 or more."

QV not only is proper moisturising cream but is one of the best, so it will be perfect

This is the right thing for a fresh tattoo. As long as he follows the a given to him by his artist he'll be fine. The normal moisturiser is more just a general skin care to keep the tattoo looking nice after it has healed.

To get a tattoo or to not get a tattoo this is my dilemma . I know a very small % of the population has tattoo phobia. I Know certain clients would come to my place of work and particular ask for a girl with no tattoo. And as this sound good but it's not a real big percentage of men or woman who has this request. So now I am considering getting a rising dragon tattoo . Why because the Rising Dragon symbolises overcoming adversity and pride. And that is me. The thing that Its holding back is who do I ask to ink my clear canvas smooth untainted skin. I have made up my mind to get one but not made of my mind of who. And where on my body will I have this beauty drawn .. Ahhh decisions decisions ... if the least of my problems these day is deciding who to ink me and where to get ink . Then I really have nothing to worry about. * Smirk *
