Removable tattoo ink makes it easy to erase romantic failings and youthful indiscretions. Why would I want to do that?
  • I agree.

    As someone who has a Nirvana tattoo on her back, I heartily agree with the sentiment of this article. Yep, it's not as cool now as it was in 1995. But I have never wished for a second it was removable. I might not (or never again) be in the same emotional place I was when a band logo was important enough to tattoo on my body, but I can no more erase the teenager I was then, angst and all than I can erase the tattoo. And I'm glad of that, honestly. Keeps my suburban, mom-jeans, hospital-administrator self honest.
