Tattoos Could Become A Lot Less Permanent

RENEE MONTAGNE, HOST:

Good morning, I'm Renee Montagne with exciting news for parents. Those tattoos your kids will inevitably get in college could now be a lot less permanent. A startup called Ephemeral tells the website ScienceAlert that it's developing an ink that fades after a year. The Ephemeral ink is composed of smaller molecules from standard ink.
