I was wandering what happened to Jim-Bobs tattoo because in all the other episodes it is never mentioned.
Does anyone know?

I think they can do it with a laser nowadays. How successful it is I don't know. In the time that the Waltons was set I don't think there was a way to remove them.

There have always been ways to remove tattoos (since B.C.!) --
But, the problem has been how to do it without leaving a scar .... and, until the recent various laser methods, all have been extremely painful.
Many people were able to "change" a tattoo by putting a different one over it (mostly done to avoid other painful procedures!)

I'm sorry I can't remember which episode it was but, Jim Bob's tattoo was mentioned in one of the dinner table scenes during the Serena/Jeffrey season. I think it was the episode where Jeffrey builds the soap box derby car but, again, I'm not sure. There are soooooooo many dinner table scenes in The Waltons.  |

You cause wide spread damage to your skin doing both. That dye leaches into your blood stream eventually , and lazer's burn the skin when removing one.
I saw a punk high school kid year's ago and he had the "F" word Tattoo'd On His Knuckles , and Then "You" Tattood on the other hand , when he grow's up and becomes an adult , and in his elderly years he'll be ashamed of himself.

The dye is no problem if the tattoo is done by a reputable studio. And, the newer laser treatments are quite efficacious and safe..... There are tattoo parlors all over the place nowadays and they come under many quite strict regulatory controls. However, in Jim-Bob's day, it was certainly nowhere near as safe.....

In Jim-Bob's day it was an easy way to get hepatitis.

The Skin absorbes anything into the blood stream , even thing's like hand cream , That's why the medical world has designed Pain Patches , it all goes to the blood stream. Eventually the Brain & Heart too.
Too dangerous in my way of personally looking at this. Just my opinion only*

If something safe, like certain hand creams or pain meds for example, goes into the bloodstream, then it's okay for pure, sterile ink, too..... that's why it isn't against the law....
Of course, it's also why it is monitored and one should be careful to select a reputable service. There is little reason to shun the idea for medical reasons, as long as one keeps up with the after-care appropriately.
