Silly Recession Trends Of The Weekend: Tattoo Removal And Discount IVF

http://static.10gen.com/www.businessinsider.com/~~/f?id=4a194dc34b5437b300bbded5&maxX=272&maxY=18
The thing we hate most about the recession: It provides an excuse to look at every corner of the world and find some very thin connection to something that maybe, could be, a trend.

From today's New York Post, we have two.

First, young people all over town are getting their tattoos removed to have a better shot at making a good impression on a job interview. Amazingly, the paper was able to find a guy--a doctor, no less--who runs a tattoo removal business to back up the theory.

"People can't afford to handicap themselves be cause of a tattoo in a tight job market," said Dr. Jeffrey Rand, founder of the Tattoo Removal Center in Midtown. "We're seeing a huge surge right now in people getting rid of their tattoos."

6. Body art is not dumb. Tattoo prejudice is this generation's long hair.

Body art that you can't cover up with a shirt and pants is dumb. :P

5. Perhaps they just had "good taste" or were otherwise occupied.
