I think tattoos reduce the natural beauty of the human
body and urge people to avoid getting them. I favor
tattoo
removal.
I read that laser tattoo removal causes the immune
system
to scavenge ink particles.
Immunizing people creates antibodies, and the
antibodies
glom onto their
target. Could an immunization to ink
particles, or one of their constituent chemicals, make
tattoo removal faster or better?
It is possible that with 5-20x the anti-ink antibodies
circulating the laser tattoo removal could be many times
more effective with fewer treatments and better results.
It is possible that a pharmaceutical company could make
lots of money from such an immunization during the 21st
century.

I think that tattoo ink is actually retained as granules within
dermal cells. If so, it won't be very easy to get rid of it. If
antibodies pick up ink particles after lasering, it's only
because the laser has fried the cell that contained the ink. |
