Dermatologist Joshua L. Fox, director of the Center for Laser and Cosmetic Surgery in New York, explains.
More people than ever are getting tattoos today and estimates for the U.S. population indicate that approximately 3 percent now have tattoos. A quick look at any professional basketball game reveals that more than half the players have body art. Getting a tattoo has never been safer, primarily because of the use of disposable needles, but people with tattoos and those considering getting one should still remain mindful of the possibility that someday they may no longer want it. Industry experts say that 50 percent of people with tattoos will someday consider having them removed.
