HOW MANY PEOPLE ARE SEEKING TATTOO REMOVAL?

2004 study estimated about a quarter of Americans had at least one tattoo, and among folks born between 1975 and 1986 the figure was 36 percent. One expert projects that eventually 40 percent of U.S. human bodies will sport at least one instance of epidermal art. Research suggests only 20 percent are dissatisfied with their markings, and just 6 percent actually seek to get them removed.
