If you have a tattoo that you don’t like or regret getting, it’s not the end of the world. There are ways to safely and effectively remove the tattoo without being hurt. From laser removal to covering it up, there are many ways to deal with a bad tattoo. Yes, when you get a tattoo, you’re told it can be permanent, but it doesn’t have to be. Start handling your tattoo problem today.
Laser It
Getting laser tattoo removal is the most common way that people get rid of unwanted tattoos. It’s the most popular choice for a variety of different reasons. The way it works is that the laser gets to a certain heat and then it removes the dye from your skin by burning it away. Yes, this can be painful but not as painful as you might think. You can also get medication that will numb the area a bit before the laser begins. Depending on the size of the tattoo, it might cost you anywhere from a few hundred dollars to a couple thousand. It might take multiple sessions of lasers to remove a tattoo that is really dark and thick, but don’t give up because before you know it your tattoo will be completely removed.
Cover It Up
If you can’t afford to get lasers done or don’t like that method, you can always take the second most popular method and cover it up with another tattoo. This method depends on how good your tattoo artist is and how much you trust them. If you have a great tattoo artist then it would be easy for them to cover it up completely with another tattoo of your choice. Make sure that whatever you decide to cover the tattoo up with is something that you want to keep. This is like a second chance on getting a tattoo that you actually want. The tattoo that covers up the original one will need to be darker so that it can completely remove any traces of the first one. A great tattoo will make the new tattoo cover up the old one effortlessly.
Use Make Up
This method works for both women and men. If you have a tattoo of something you don’t like and don’t want people to see it then you can put make up over it when you go out in public. This method works great because it’s cheap and you only need to do it when you are going in public and think that part of your body might be exposed to people. You can simply find a foundation or concealer that matches the tone of your skin and quickly apply it when you step outside. This method might be easier for women who are experienced in using make up compared to guys who are not. Additionally, if you have a tattoo on your back or in a hard to reach area, you might need some assistance in applying the make up. You can’t beat the low cost of this method.
Learn To Love It
The last method is just making peace with the tattoo you have and understanding that it’s part of your body now. You don’t have to look at it every day but remember that it’s there and it’s a part of your body. You can always wear clothing that covers it up like long sleeves and pants. It’s something that you can come to peace with and live the rest of your life knowing that you’re alright. Build a support system that understand you and you’ll be just fine.
