In the current shaky economy, finding jobs is getting even more difficult.

For people with visible tattoos, the struggle to get hired may be a little more difficult.

That’s why many American’s are deciding to get their tattoos removed to help their job prospects.

It is estimated that over 45 million Americans have tattoos and around 17% of those people end up regretting it.

The process of getting a tattoo removed can become costly and could take several laser treatments.

Doctors say many people make the mistake of getting a tattoo while drunk or in an impulsive moment.

But, tattoo artists at Holy City Tattoo in Charleston say they don’t allow people to make spur-of-the-moment tattoo decisions.

They believe forethought negates the need for removal and they make sure clients know what they are getting into, even turning people away if they feel the client is not ready for a tattoo.

Dirty Looking Stuff, to each his or her own. Tattoos may be trashy to you but for others it's a way to express themselves and honestly who cares what you think? Do you think anyone actually cares if YOU respect them or not? I have a tattoo and proud of it!
