I’m going tomorrow night to get the tattoo on my ankle reworked.

Wait a minute?! "Reworked?" Do you mean to tell me they can just erase it and start over?

Somebody please for the love of all that is sacred and holy explain to me what the big deal is about tatoo's these days. It seems like everyone's getting them...WHY?????

Dermabrasion can remove tattoos, but depending it can be a lengthy process. I think getting a tattoo reworked just means having it re-inked as they fade over time.

I guess covered-up would be a better phrase then reworked. I've got one on my ankle that I got when I was 19. Even though that was just 6 months ago (okay...maybe it was a little longer then that. 10 months ago), it's faded and not that nice looking anymore. So, I'm having something else put over it.

Sometimes the original design can be seen a little through the new one, but you really have to look for it or know it's there to see it.

I can't really tell you what the big deal about them is. My dad was a Marine and has a "USMC" on his forearm that always fascinated me and I wanted one for as long as I could remember. I've got the star on my ankle (my first one at 19), a sun on my shoulder (at 23) and a butterfly on my back (at 24) and now this newish one (at 21, funny how time works that way).
