Introduction
Several years ago, on impulse, you stopped in at a tattoo parlor named "Needle Tracks" and left with an unfortunate tattoo. From this experience you learned that it was not a good idea to use a tattoo artist who thought a good business name should include a drug reference (which goes a long way toward explaining the derranged look of the tattoo he gave you.) 
Task
You now have a poorly done tattoo that you want to have removed. You would then like to get a new tattoo that better expresses your tastes. You will research the tattoo removal process, as well the process of tattoo correction. You will then decide whether to remove the tattoo or have a correcting tattoo done. You will also choose a new tattoo design.
Complete the items in the process section. Type your responses in Word or Google Docs and email your final response to the teacher at colleen.jones328@gmail.com.
