Erasable Tattoo Ink
Are you afraid to commit to a tattoo for the rest of your life? Looks like you can finally have your cake and eat it too. Company Freedom-2 in NYC has come up with a new type of ink that still lasts a lifetime, yet can be removed in one fell swoop of a laser.
“I was the first recipient of a Freedom-2 tattoo. I wore it for several months and then had it lasered off. Now my arm is completely clean,” said Martin Schmieg, president and CEO Freedom-2.
The technique uses a standard needle to inject plastic beads that contain bioabsorbable dies. Just like regular tattoos, those particles will be stored in the upper dermis of the skin. The difference is that this microencapsulated ink can be dissolved by a single pass of a laser. The laser actually bursts the microscopic beads open to be absorbed by the body’s immune system.
Like most new technologies this wonder product does come at a price, four times that of regular ink. They say it will be ready for the marketplace this fall, just in time for your next Vegas wedding. Innovation: making regrettable decisions that much easier!

Very cool. Now you can pull an on a day off a day tattoo binge. Because, you can bet that shiny new tattoo will be off in a day once the wife catches wind of it.
I love the way this whole site is set up. Simple, nice and easy. I have got to get you to set up my next one. I keep thinking that mine is an utter mess. Any pointers would be appreciated.

@Dave, yeah that’s the idea. I think a single laser treatment still goes for around $200-$400 depending on the size. So it’s not like you can throw on some sweet Yakuza tats for the next Halloween party and then stroll down the streets of Tokyo unscathed.
Thanks for the compliments, keep up the good work over at Samurai Soapbox.

I am just getting ready to market a tattoo machine uP controlled and I am looking for just such an ink. I am developing a Plasma version of a autoclave. How can I buy stock in your company?
P.S. Great Idea!!!

@Scott Layman, I was feeling the same way when I came across this technology. If you’re interested in investing in the company you may want to take a look at their contact page.
