Laser treatment: pulses of laser light are directed into the tattoos. The light passes harmlessly through the top layer of the skin, but is absorbed by the pigment particles in the tattoo. The particles heat up and are shattered into smaller pieces which can be removed by the body’s immune system. Laser treatment is simple, low risk and effective, although some scarring or pigmentation of the skin may result. Very rarely some of the pigments react with the laser to leave an even darker colour in the skin. The treatment only takes a few minutes but it can be uncomfortable or even painful for some people. It also needs to be repeated several times - sometimes as many as 10 or 20 times for intense professionally done tattoos. As each treatment session may cost as much as £50 or more depending on the size of the tattoo so the price of removal can really add up to be very expensive. Newer types of laser are better at removing red, blue and black tattoo pigments, but some colours, such as fluorescent yellow and greens, remain difficult to remove with a laser.

i havent had anything done, but i got this off the bbc health website. it looks like its going to be a costly procedure!

Good idea. How about that one:

Without "Microsoft Windows" of course. That would look stupid.
