The
art of tattooing is increasingly popular with a variety of people all
across the globe. The meaning and reason behind getting a tattoo can
differ from person to person. Tattoos can be a way for people to
express their creativity and offers artistic freedom, be a form
self-expression and enables people to showcase their personality, be
connected to spiritual/cultural traditions, a tribute to a loved one
or a way to rebel.
Whilst
many people wear their tattoos with pride and develop a life-long
love and passion for tattoos, there are many cases where people have
tattoo regrets. You only need to watch Tattoo Fixers to see examples
of tattoo regrets.
A
tattoo is that is poor in quality and badly tattooed. The name of a
loved one but then breaking up. The size and/or location of a tattoo.
A tattoo you got on a whim or a generic design. A tattoo affecting
work opportunities. Outgrowing your ink.
The
downside of tattoos is the fact that they are permanent. So if you do
end up with tattoo regret how do you deal with it?
Apart
from living with the tattoo you regret there are a couple of other
options you have.
Tattoo
cover-up
If
you still love tattoos but regret a design for whatever reason or the
tattoo was terrible quality then an option you have is to get a
tattoo cover-up.
Simply
put a tattoo cover-up is where another tattoo design is tattooed over
the existing tattoo where a tattoo skillfully blends colours, shades
and find details to cover-up and create a new tattoo you’d be proud
to show off rather than hide away.
The
success of your cover-up tattoo will depending on a few factors such
as colour, how old and how faded is the original tattoo, size of
tattoo and design of tattoo - original and cover-up. When getting a
tattoo cover-up to help ensure it will be a tattoo you love and not
regret carefully consider your new tattoo design, find a skilled
tattoo artist - get recommendations, check out their portfolio of
work and discuss their experience of cover-up tattoos and be flexible
and realistic of what design is achievable.
Laser
tattoo removal
Another
option people with tattoo regret can consider is having their tattoo
lasered.
Even
if you want to get a new tattoo in the same location as the original
tattoo that you regret getting a few sessions of laser tattoo removal
to fade the existing tattoo will help with a successful cover-up and
give you more options of colour and design of the new tattoo.
For
people who simply want completely rid of their tattoo laser tattoo
removal could be the answer.
Laser
tattoo removal works by using laser energy to break down the ink of a
tattoo into small particles which is absorbed into the body. Unlike
other tattoo removal methods such as dermabrasion and using
Trichloroacetic acid, Laser Tattoo removal avoids damaging the skin
whilst removing the ink.
