Now THERE'S a lucrative career in the current economy. Tattoo removal!

I went to a tattoo artist to remove my melasma using the Pico Laser and she said she makes more money removing tattoos than she ever did being a tattoo artist. She's so busy, she opened her own shop!  🤑

Uh huh, and when the clean girl trend passes they’ll get tattooed again.

Clearly these people were not that into tattoos  as an art form to begin with they just did it cuz they felt it was trendy.

My experience with a temporary tattoo in middle school is why I never got a real one lol.  It was cute for 2 days and then I couldn’t wait to take it off 🤣.

It’s a shame to see these people saying “I wish I would’ve waited” to get their tattoos. Cuz nobody could tell us NOTHING when we were teenagers! I remember. I feel more rebellious not having any ink 😊

Tattoos are a touchy subject nowadays. I got all 8 of mine during the pandemic when I was off my meds and craving dopamine and validation. A few years later, I have learned to love and accept them. It helps that I already have an "alternative" aesthetic, and my tattoos can be easily covered. Sometimes I do miss the "me before tattoos" but the experience taught me a lot about permanency, decision-making, consequences, and acceptance.

A tattoo stays in place because the body can't break it down, so the IMMUNE system walls it off. It's not just skin deep.

When I saw the reports linking tattoos to cancer, I was so GRATEFUL for my Dad's no tattoo rule.

'I wish I didn't put so many stickers on this Bentley' is a GREAT way to say it.

Tattoos put your body into a never-ending cycle of inflammation and immune response. Immune cells try to remove the ink and fail. This process will repeat your entire life increasing your chance of getting cancer and lymphoma.

Imagine having $5000 to spend on one spectacular outfit that fits you perfectly and is currently all the rage in fashion. Only catch is, you have to wear it every day for the rest of your life. Young people, listen to your parents. They truly have your best interest at heart.

I think you are doing a great public service by making these videos . 💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕

I think more people need to experiment with henna more, so they are mega sure before considering something permanent.

I can't even commit to put Henna on my body or pierce a second hole in my ears... I'm definitely not committing to tattoos

People say "oh my brain wasn't developed, it should be banned till you're 27".   I can guarantee if one country did that, 19 year olds would be skipping over the border to get their tatts.  When you tell a young person they can't have something because they're too immature, well we all know how that goes...

My preteen daughter was thinking that tattoos look cool, I've shown her a couple of videos like this

Anytime I want to get a tattoo I wait 2 years before I actually do it to research the artists

The placement of where I want it and the concept

I got ny first one at 35 am 46 now and planning on more

People don’t think and copy trends and then grow out of it 😂

Or worse just randomly walk into any tattoo shop on a whim

I still think tattoos can be really cool. I do personally regret mine. I'm getting them removed and LET ME TELL YOU... the pain is UNREEEAL

I mean, i got tattoos knowing it was a lifetime decision. I hope as I'm old it will be a good reminder of my past stories.
