Suffering From Tattoo Regret?
Are you feeling regret about your tattoo? Are you annoyed or even embarrassed by your tattoo? Do you wish you had never said yes to being ‘inked’?
If so, you are not alone. Fifty percent of tattooed people in the USA eventually regret having had a tattoo and in the UK that figure is 75 percent. There are many reported cases today the world over of people who wish they had never been ‘drawn on’. The top reasons why they regret their tattoos are as follows.
• The tattoo was done in a non certified shop – those who had their tattoo done cheaply usually end up having it removed because they were not satisfied with the quality of the result.
• Choosing the wrong design – those who went through the tattoo process impulsively usually end up regretting it and wanting their tattoo erased. Make sure you know the exact design you want and think long and hard about where you will place it.
• Being in the wrong frame of mind- do not get a tattoo when you are drunk.
• Don’t have a lover’s name or image tattooed on your body unless it is your spouse or lifelong partner….even then – think long and hard about it.
• Do not ‘test’ tattoo – your body is not a whiteboard that you wipe clean. Tattoos are a permanent print and laser removal is pricey. So before you start with it makes sure you are certain.
• Dimmed career prospects – many (some would say most) companies do not hire people with tattoos though they are qualified. Most of the time having a tattoo is not acceptable and seen negatively in the corporate world.
• Some people regret their tattoo because it reminds them of an illness because with it they picked up a disease. Think HIV, Hepatitis and think about the many other diseases one can contract through tattooing – especially when it is done by underground tattoo artist.
• Certain people regret their tattoo and may have suffered some disfigurement or permanent scarring through infection by unsterilized needles and tools.
If you are sporting a tattoo that you regret, the cost of laser removal surgery is out of many people’s budget – thankfully however there are companies that manufacture tattoo removal creams that fade a tattoo over time – and you can use them in the comfort of your own home.
