Freedom-2 Ink: Erasable Tattoos

Freedom-2 Ink Erasable TattoosAll you tattoo-junkies, get ready, erasable tattoos are coming soon.

Scientists at Massachusetts General Hospital and Harvard, Brown, and Duke universities have developed a U.S. Food and Drug Administration-approved ink, called Freedom-2 ink, which can be erased with a single laser treatment.

The ink, available in a few months or sooner, is a combo of dyes and polymer (a plastic that can’t be absorbed by the body).

How do the erasable tattoos and Freedom-2 ink work? If you want it removed, a laser painlessly destroys the dye-and-polymer bond to make it disappear. [source: Health]
