  Here's a novel concept: don't get an arm load of tattoos. Or anywhere else for that matter. What may have started on your neck, may end up elsewhere as gravity takes over.

  Sounds painful. They can't just lay new skin over your top layer. What are they going to do, slice the other one off? For a tattoo? You think he'd learn from his mistakes and not get more tattoos that are just going to grow boring like the last ones. As you get older, your tastes change.

  I don't really care about the tattoo part but it sounds like something my daughter could have done. She had 40% of her body burned off from a wreck and she had her own skin removed to help cover up parts of her body but that left terrible scars as the removal was too deep and left scars from her knees up to her thighs.

  What a flipping idiot. I cannot even imagine how much money this would cost. Burn victims and so forth...that money could be better spent to help others. Get real. I KNOW someone in his life said, "Are you sure you want to do this to yourself?" before he got those tats he now hates. He needs a reality check. Changing skin just do get a NEW tat is the epitome of stupidity.

  Truth is this: It's his money and he'll spend it on new skin if he wants to; no matter how much we'd rather he spend his millions on items of our choice. So fine, name-call, ridicule and hate all you want but remember this: It's a free country, if you can't pay to have your skin grown for you in the US, then where else on earth would it happen?

  I don't think he understands how skin grafts look after the graft. They are usually bumpy and scarred looking. They can be very tender, so he may not want to tattoo over them. I dunno about this one. Maybe he should check this out a little more!
