My sister is in the process of having some tattoos removed. I think we're up to about the 6th or 7th visit over 2 years and so far in excess of $1500. They are just the visible ones, I dont think she'll go back and get the rest done although she'd like to, its too expensive and too painful.
My husabnd has many tattoos, i dont have any. His tattooist thinks there will be many people, mostly women, suffering depression in years to come from poorly chosen, bad tattoos. He refuses a lot of clients and wont do hands or necks.
! know at least one person with a rather large tattoo across her chest that has been incorrectly spelt, I dont even know if she knows its spelt wrong. Wonder if she'll be dispappointed when she figures it out?
brighton, just a word of warning, I found it extremely painful, the closer to the bone, the more painful. Black goes further in (if that makes sense) so is more painful.Two small tattoos soon put paid to my plan of becoming the illustrated woman.
Protect it from the sun as well, as the sun will fade it quicker.
Don't worry about what other people may or may not say, it's nobody's business but yours.
Mine is only small, quite old (28yrs) and I rarely think about it. A boss asked me once if I thought I would worry about having it when I am in my 70's - my reply was - If that is what I am worrying about if I reach 70 then I'll be laughing.
