Tattoo remorse

After class today I came back and glanced at cnn.com. There is a great article about "Tattoo Remorse." They point out that 24% of people interviewed had tattoos and 17% of those with tattoos considered having them removed.

If having a tattoo makes you part of a subculture, does having it removed make you part of a different subculture?

Note how the new mom says the tattoo "didn't fit the image she wants to portray" anymore. Are some subculture groups easier to enter or leave than others?

Here is the link.
