The list of ingredients in the inks used for this type of artwork would leave many with severe question marks over why they allowed someone to so mark their bodies.Tattoos are permanent and to get them removed involves a lot of painful laser surgery.

In order for an army to defeat their enemy they must know their enemy, the same goes for anyone looking to battle the disease psoriasis. Psoriasis is a disease that attacks the skin. No one really knows what causes psoriasis, but scientists are learning more every day and believe that they've linked this disease to a genetic mishap.Before we discuss psoriasis further, let's discuss how 'normal' skin operates.

As we age our skin loses elasticity, smoothness, and begins to form fine lines and eventually wrinkles. There are two general categories in which skin aging occurs.

The middle layer is the dermis and the inner layer is called the subcutaneous. As aging begins, the epidermis begins to thin. This begins to happen as soon a...
