I had the letters USMC on my upper right arm, done in black, red and yellow.
Just before I moved to Japan in 2003, I had it removed by laser. Red and yellow pigments don't respond as well to laser treatment (which removes black 100%). But today, the black is completely gone and the red and yellow so faded by the laser treatment and time, and practically invisible with the freckles.
I don't have anything against tasteful tattoos but, for me, I just felt like it didn't define me anymore as a person; too permanent.
