How a €50 tattoo can become a €1,500 lesson in economics: RTE Brainstorm

Press/Media

Description

Analysis: While preferences in clothes, hairstyles or music are easily changed, a tattoo is not and your change of mind can prove costly

Suppose you got a forget-me-not flower tattoo in the late 1990s. You paid around €50, it took about 30 minutes and it seemed like a perfectly good idea. Fast-forward a quarter of a century and you decide you would like to forget that forget-me-not. Ironic? Alanis might agree.
