Here's a revolutionary thought: if you want a tattoo but don't want it to last for the rest of your life, don't get tattoo.

Or get one of those kind that are basically marker on top of your skin

Yeah, them or henna.

The woman this article is about is an idiot and so is anyone else who had this tattoo done and expected it to be gone in 1 year. Putting ink under your skin is going to leave a mark, even if the ink is supposed to be semi permanent, to think a tattoo like that would be gone in that time frame is ridiculous.
I swear so many people get themselves all in a tizzy because they fells for soemthing that was too good to be true. Use basic reasoning skills, ei your brain; that's what it's there for

So you think the company which explicitly advertises these as "made to fade" bears no responsibility ?

The company 100% is at fault for false advertising. The people who bought into such an unbelievable claim from a company with little proof are idiots. Nothing I'm saying has to do with who's at fault.

These people, and the tattooists who inked them, are as short sighted as their tattoos are infantile.
I know many people with many, many tatts, and a few tattoo artists. Among the latter, the one who still considers themself an amateur does far better line work than this.
Tattooing is an art. Tattooists and their clients should be highly invested in the quality of their work; in my experience they are.
Calling your disappearing ink business "No Regrets" gives out henna stall at a county fair vibe at best, kid birthday party face painting at worst.

Holy fuck all. This is a textbook case of generalizing the results. They never say the tattoo will disappear. They simply say it will will fade. ALL TATTOOS FADE. This is the problem. I don’t WANT my tattoo to fade, it’s a sleeve. Fading means blending, and if it weren’t for my artist being forward thinking making my outline thicker,my tattoos would be shitty looking blended messes by now. This marketing campaign is nothing more than a play on words in legalese.your tattoo WILL fail. But it will still be visible for many years
The question is, which did you pay for? A faded tattoo or a tattoo that isn’t visible in 2-3 years?

Because, as it states in the very first sentence of the article, the company marketed the tattoos as non-permanent.

because the tattoo ink was advertised as not being permanent with claims that it should "disappear within a year".

Tattoos are form of self-expression that have moved from gangs and prisons to the mainstream. People in all walks of life used to put forth effort not to be taken for White Trash — in contrast to people today, who risk hepatitis to ape the decorative styles of prison gangs.

How are you going to have ink put under your skin and then go full Shocked Pikachu when it doesn't fade exactly when and how you want it to? People like this are the reason we have "hot beverage" warnings on fresh coffee.
Edit: And these morons signed paperwork stating they understood the tattoos could fade over an unknown time frame and then want to take "legal measures" because the thing in the paperwork they signed was true.

Actually, we have hot beverage warnings because McDonald's served a literal grandmother coffee so hot she got third-degree burns and then refused to pay $20,000 to cover her life saving ssurgery influcted because the coffee was given to her at 190 degrees.

The hot beverage lawsuit that you're referencing isn't quite as dumb as you think. The woman had third degree burns on 6% of her body and needed skin grafts

Tragic that their corpoganda seems to be wildly successful given there are lots of ignorant people like you lapping it up like dogs to cold water on a hot day.
Malicious negligence causing grievous harm isn't remotely in the same ballpark as delusional wishful thinking, but you do you.
