"This new tattoo ink is designed to disappear after a year"
If you've ever considered getting a tattoo but have been put off by its permanence - who knows how you'll feel about that "E = mc2" face tattoo in 10 year's time? - then a new startup called Ephemeral has you covered. The fledgling company, run by a team of New York University graduates, is developing a special kind of tattoo ink that disappears in just one year.
Basically, after a year has passed, the tattoo starts to fade, and you have the opportunity to either adapt the original design or simply get rid of it. Oh, and current tattoo artists won't need specialised equipment to use the new ink, so if this stuff makes it to market, it shouldn't be too hard to find. (more)

Sounds like a grand idea.
Especially for women. It's a crime to mark up those beautiful bodies with nothing more than grafitti.
(yeah, I'm old...)
The perfect Trump tattoo.
I was thinking more of Cruz, but OK.
This might make me pull the trigger on one. Maybe.
My daughter is in a friend's wedding. The friend has had some rough times. She got her arm tatted up pretty good and wanted it gone for the wedding. So the parents paid for it to be removed. I've seen photos. Hideous. This is a helluva an idea. My bride had the idea of white ink for black peoples tattoos. My old man HATED tattoos. He died before they became ubiquitous.
One of my best friends from childhood is a tattoo artist. She always tells me I can get whatever tattoo I want! Free! Whenever she would visit home for holidays her sister and dad would get free tattoos. Free spirit family, gotta love em'. Her sister got the chemical formula for clay on her arm- ceramics major.
SO I thought long and hard about a tattoo. A decade. Still thinking... gotta be a good one. There was one time I went to visit her and I was all gung-ho about a design I had in mind and.. she wasn't ready to do that. Missed my window! Don't feel that need. Maybe I'll get a freckle tattoo just to say I got one. You'd never know with all the rest of them which is which.
I've seen more terrible tattoos than awesome ones. But here is a tattoo sketch:
