A British man is developing an inexpensive tattoo removal cream, about five dollars a jar. If tattoos are suddenly easily and cheaply erased, will they lose their popularity? Or will they become more popular and bodies become changing billboards?

I told my nephew 10 years ago, "if ya want to become incredibly wealthy figure out a simple way of of getting rid of tatoos, like something that works with skin pigmentation. There are countless people with "tatoo regret" out there - a huge market."
Now he has a couple bad tatoos and works in construction.
This will negate the need for the threat that's been used in my family while we were growing up: "If you come home with a tattoo before you move out of this house, I'll take it off with a potato peeler."

From what I am understanding, the method by which the tattoo is removed is to stimulate the body's while blood cells to "gobble up" the cells which are holding the ink and carry them away, a means of speeding up and intensifying the process that causes most tattoos to blur and fade as you age. Pretty cool idea if he can get it past our FDA.
