Now Japanese Law enforcement will be able to go undercover and infiltrate organized crime families and put an end to their nefarious deeds once and for all.

What a great idea. Insecure people can now get to their comfort zone without having to wear their mistake for the rest of their lives after they grow up.

Tattoos have been with us for centuries, and across so maybe cultures. This is an interesting move, but personally, I'm happy with my tats. They're part of me, and have never been an impediment here or elsewhere.

I think tattoos are about self-expression and art. And I think we're just trying to make it easier for more people to have that experience," she adds.

Well done. Very innovative. The great thing about this is that kids and teens might be able to avail of them, without the (irrational, in my opinion) fear of permanent markings.

The interesting (to me, at any rate) thing is that tattoos are not just across all cultures, but classes too. Doctors, brickies, mail people, bank managers, refuse collectors and royalty... there really are no barriers.

I think this is a really cool invention! I've never gotten a tattoo because I always change my mind about what I would get, and worry about how it would look as I age. But this would be a fun way to try out a design before committing to something. I hope they develop more colors soon.

I would never get a tat, ugly as they are, I love being natural the best, if others want to do it, it’s fine, none of my business, but I think they’re just ugly and especially when people get older, no way.

Having said that, this is different, since it’s not permanent I wouldn’t object to it. I might would even try it and if that’s the case for something that’s temporary, why not?

Never?

Because you said "never" and "ugly".
