Tattoo Fail!
I thought I was pretty damn cool at age 18, showing off my new home-spun tattoo. I’d had some dill-weed parolee try to duplicate a lion’s profile on my right shoulder.

. I got it touched up a couple times over the years and now I just want it gone.

As long as ya don’t burn a limb off, how can ya go wrong? I’ll give it a crack this summer and post results.
If you have tat pics you want to share or experiences with tattoo removal, post ‘em up!
