Tattoo Removal ~ The Women Beat the Men

In a study conducted by the Texas Tech University Health Services Center, researchers found that significantly more women seek tattoo removal than men, a startling 69% compared to only 31% of men.

Why are there more women who want tattoo removal than men?

The study was conducted on two separate occasions, once in 1996 and again in 2006, and while in both instances the reasons for wanting tattoo removal had elements in wanting to forget the past, in the 2006 study, more women than men were seeking tattoo removal because of the feeling that they were under stricter standards socially and in the business world for visible tattoos. Women were more likely to want their tattoos in areas where they had control over who could see them and when, so body site placement issues were foremost for them.

Those who do seek tattoo removal only comprise about 6% of the total tattooed population, with most waiting upwards of 10 years before having the tattoo removed.

If you have a tattoo that you would like removed, you don't have to wait 10 years. Inflicting Ink Tattoo offers state of the art laser tattoo removal with payment plans equivalent to the cost of getting a tattoo.

Jeff Goyette Bio

Jeff Goyette was born and raised in Massachusetts where tattooing was illegal, and to this day is only allowed on a per community basis, with each community deciding for themselves whether to allow it or not. Jeff still wanted to be a tattoo artist, and so learned his trade and took it on the road with the tattoo tour where he continued his tattoo education through coursework and tour experience.

In 1993 Jeff opened Inflicting Ink Tattoo Studio in Portsmouth RI as a way to get out of touring and establish some roots in the community. He has been in this location for 17 years. After a few years in the shop however, he wanted to use his traveling experience to be able to bring tattooing to people who might not have the chance to get to a brick-and-mortar shop.

So he built the Inflicting Ink Traveling Tattoo truck, over 73 feet of truck housing a state of the art, sterile, mobile tattoo facility ~ there is nothing else like it on the planet, literally, as the Guiness Book of World Records has named it the largest tattoo facility in the world, but simply has no category to place it in.

The truck travels to fairs, events, concerts, and even does private parties, drawing large crowds and those who do not have access to a local tattoo studio for their body art. Jeff loves when he can give back to a community, and often simply brings the truck to draw in numbers at charity events whenever possible, whether any tattooing will be done or not.

He and his artists model their work on the belief that a customer should always feel that they have received a quality piece of art, that the work is consistent, and that they can be proud of their tattoo as well as where it came from.
