It's like a tattoo, only with lasers instead of tat (wtf is tat?)!!
I think it's awesome.

I know people that just flat out brand themselves.

If I'm gonna have a permanent mark on me it's gonna because I did something stupid, not something on purpose.

Is it permanent, or is it just a sun burn?

Pfft.  I have nothing against tattoos.  It's your body, you should be able to do what you like.  I think a tattoo can be a good way to express yourself if it's personalize and unique to yourself.  If it describes you in some way and has personal meaning to you, it shouldn't matter.  It's like the clothing you wear, how you cut your hair, etc.  It expresses you.  I will agree though, that kid is stupid, and it's obvious he's not doing it for the said reasons.

It's not permanent.  It goes away in about a week and a bit.  :P
And like a fool I believed myself, and thought I was somebody else...

The main difference is, the clothing you wear and how you cut your hair can easily be changed. Tattoos, especially visible ones, not so much. That's my biggest concern -- a decision somebody makes at the local carnival (they had a tattooing booth at the Red River Ex here, which is a big carnival with rides and stuff) can affect you the rest of your life .

Eh.  I understand why people are so uptight about tattoos.  That's why mine is where it won't affect me if I ever want to apply for a job that might look down upon such.  For instance, my tattoo is not visible if I have a collared shirt on, which I reasoned if I wanted to get a job at someplace that frowned upon visible tattoos and might discriminate... they probably also have a strict dress code.  So I'd be safe, as I'd likely be required to wear a collared shirt and tie anyways.

That makes sense, and I have no problem with it.

I actually have no problem with tattoos in general, I'm a fan of self-expression and freedom in tha sense, but I'm also aware of what the drawbacks could be.

So that being said.... pics?

Haha, I had no idea that was a tattoo, I thought it was just distorted text. :)

On a related note, although being totally insane/retarded, this is pretty cool:
