Well, I couldn't be more against tattoo removal or some other cosmetic things.
Some forms of cosmetic surgery should of course be included, but tattoos are self inflicted. If the state starts paying for tattoo removal, then won't that just encourage people to get that stupid tattoo they are thinking about, because they can always get it lasered off afterwards?
As well as that, there's better things they could be spending my money on. Or better yet simply spending less of our money. The UK government already spends a huge proportion of my income.
