Tattoo in haste..........

..........repent at leisure.

This is one of at least half a dozen tattoo 'parlours' in our street (admittedly, it's quite a long street).

In the same street, there is a clinic attached to the local GP surgery called 'Laserase', where regretful souls can pay to have their unwanted tattoos removed.

Understandably, both the tattoo parlour and Laserase are coy about how much they charge, but if I were a betting woman I'd wager that it costs an awful lot more to have the offending item removed.
