The Science Behind Tattoo Addiction- Is it a Reality or Fallacy?

/2 Comments/in , /by

Many people who have tattoos would generally agree that once they had one, it was hard to stop. With the rapid increase in popularity of tattoos over the last two decades, the number of tattoo parlours has grown as well as their repeat visitors. Statistics tell us that 1 in 4 people in Australia have tattoos, but are tattoos addictive?

Humans have been tattooing their skin for thousands of years. Otzi, a 5000 year old European mummy was found to have over 50 tattoo markings over his body. A tattoo can be cultural, a remembrance, a constant reminder of a thought process, a prayer, religious, or simply a work of art. The reasons behind a tattoo can be very personal, spiritual, tribal, decorative or whimsical.

Is it actually tattoo addiction that drives an urge for further body modifications?  Our biochemistry might hold some of the answers.

Nano VS Pico Technology for Laser Tattoo Removal

/1 Comment/in , /by

With the rapid increase in tattooing, there has also been a rapid increase in the demand for tattoo removal. Choosing where to go and deciphering all the marketing, including Pico v’s Nano technology, is not only really confusing but also time consuming.

The only real difference between picosecond and nanosecond lasers for tattoo removal is the pulse speed, pure and simple. Both are extraordinarily fast and both shatter the ink and shatter it well.
