My Removal Diary. Part two.

Things and Ink music writer, Jen Adamson (@knifeintheheart), shares her tattoo removal experience. Part two, read part one here.

Jen feeling the nerves

Wayne started on the bottom half of my forearm this time. The colours we tackled were mainly black, reds and blues. This time round was much easier than the first. I was amazed that it wasn’t making me jump and I could take the laser for longer. Also the after effects did not hit my body hard at all. The healing process is turning out to be the most important. I kept my arm covered up with gauze and bandage for a week and kept it dry, with nothing but Vaseline to keep it moisturised. The colour has already faded remarkably.  Keep an eye on the blog for progress and a video coming soon.

“My body is the only home I will ever have… Home is where love happens… Home is where you’re supposed to be comfortable.

PETA’s ‘Ink, Not Mink’ campaign

PETA’s “Ink, Not Mink” campaign has recruited fur-free male celebrities whose sleeves will always made of ink — and never covered in mink.

What do you think of the ‘Ink, Not Mink’ campaign and their use of men’s inked bodies? PETA has been previously known for their sexist advertising campaigns, and often only using the bodies of young, thin white women in their campaigns, notable in their ‘I’d Rather Go Naked’ campaign.

After many reports of misogyny from PETA, is it possible to see positives in their campaigns?
