The Solution to Unwanted Tattoos

If it seems like tattoos have been around forever, they have. Earliest evidence of man marking his body showed the famous “Iceman,” a frozen mummy found in 1991 near the Italian-Austrian border carbon dated 5,200 years ago, with tattoos.

Tattoos have been part and parcel of most societies for as long as we can remember. We get tattoos for a variety of sometimes valid, yet often emotional reasons. We tattoo our undying vow of everlasting love. But what happens when the love of your life breaks your heart or you divorce and are left with “I love Judy” on your arm as a permanent reminder of past heartache?

We get tattoos to mark a celebration, a hobby, or a profession, as well as remembering departed loved ones or the battalion or unit that you served with, to name just a few. To every generation, they are expressions of our own individuality and taste.

Do you think this means that everybody likes their tattoos, is happy with their decision, and has no misgivings about the results? If given the chance, would they have made a different decision? Apparently so. Would it surprise you to learn that one in four tattooed people regret their decision and would undo it if they could? It’s true. When that mermaid on your arm stretches and starts to look like an oddly-shaped porpoise, or you finally tire of the unwanted attention your inked body brings you at the beach, something has to give … and it can.
