Sounds like a Philip K. Dick novel. Or Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind actually. Which is pretty much like a Philip K. Dick novel.

yes exactly! infact they tend to refer to that movie
in most of the articles that i have read. i found the
whole process to be quite intriguing. im sure at this rate
it wont be long before we able to do such a thing. i just
figure if your gonna go as far as to have they're name tattoed
on you then proceed to have it removed when the relationship is
over,it might be tempting to just go to your doctor and ask for
a prescription to completely forget the person,if such a thing
were available.

by the way im not saying this a route to take as far as getting
over an ex. personally if i had his name tattoed on me i would
probably keep it.

I always found the best way to forget love turned sour is Jack Daniels & Coney Island Lager.

im good at forgetting past relationships, so not a big deal to me. as far as removing tattoos, i have a bunch of tattoos for my wife, i dont really think about removing them cause breaking up really isnt an option we entertain, ever. glad i didnt get any ink for relationships until after i got married though.
i know that many people have scarring memories, and would be better off without memory of certain moments in their life. but then again, isnt that what makes us human? i dunno, would be easier, but would it be right? case by case basis i guess.

yeah it's definitely a controversial subject.
in all the information that i have read,they
seem to say the same thing,"memories are what
make us human,so what happens when you take that away?"
currently the drug is being used on soldiers,trauma victims
and people that work in that kinda field like paramedics.
i found it all to be interesting. trust me there's nothing more
i'd love to do then forget some of my ex's and memories,but at
the same time i like to wear my heart on my sleeve and show my
war wounds,if you will. so i might be more inclined to go a
tattoo as part of my learning process of life. this subject
really make you think about the past. it's all that we know
and we as human beings rely on the past to guide is through
are future. there's a really good movie called "time machine",
i think, and i concentrate's on that exact point. what would
happen if we never knew about the past?

I really think that I would keep any relationship tattoos that didn't work out. There's no point in trying to forget the good times just cause there were some bad.

I once had a girlfriend lock me out of our apartment and donate everything I owned to the salvation army. Yet I still have some photos of us together. They aren't hung on the wall or anything. But I still wouldn't throw them out. they were taken when we were very much happy and in love.

that's awesome that you able to hold on to some of the good times
that you two shared. that's what helps us grow as humans,moving on
from the past,learning from the past,and holding on to the good times.

Oops! I meant to say learning from the bad times.

yeah. She was probably the most nuerotic phycho whore I'll ever know. But my god she was fun to be around. When she wasn't blowing up and causing huge scenes in public, she was jumping into oceans fully clothed and having sex with me in dressing rooms. Hell. I'm half tempted to go get her name tattooed on me tomorrow. And I havnt talked to her in 4 years.

buahahahaha!!!!!
that's awesome!
see that's what im saying, even though my ex really
put through the ringer i figure it would actually
be good to get a tattoo to signify the relationship.
instead of keeping it all bottled up i can just look
at my tattoo and smile knowing that im past that part
of my life.

but yeah the memory erasing sounded nice for sec,but
then i wouldnt be same person i am today.

holy crap! this is PROWL and i just posted that^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
but it logged the post under some other girl!!!
how the hell did that happen?!
ahh! moderator!
