After five years of tattoo removal, my journey is now complete. In today's video, I go over the process of having my leg tattoo removed and finally getting a new tattoo in it's place. I talk about the difference between a cover up and a blast over, which i think if helpful if you're thinking about removal or cover ups.
Here is my tattoo removal playlist if you want to see my updates from along the way: Tattoo Removal

I can say with 100% confidence that the advice on your channel that you’ve posted over the years is the only reason why in my early 20s I didn’t get a shit ton of stupid ass tattoos in highly visible places. I was recently talking to someone who is heavily tattooed and has a lot of tattoos that they regret, and I explained that it was you who said that you like to be stealth and not be visibly tattooed all the time and they were like damn! I wish I would’ve had that influence when I was younger. I love the tattoos that I got when I was in my youth, but I’m glad that they’re not in a super visible place. I wanna get better tattoos as I get older. Thanks for being a positive influence on me in my early 20s. I can’t believe I’m almost 30 now and I only have six tattoos, but I don’t regret it. There’s no rush to get covered for me. I’ve learned that the right tattoos will come at the right time.

Being able to stop... and say wait.. i'm not entirely happy with this, is SUCH a flex, such growth!! I hope we can all learn from this and honour our instincts to ask for a re-draw, when needed.

Ahhhh, the return of Tattoo Talk Tuesday is so exciting to me!!! I totally get if you're not comfortable sharing, but I'd be interested in a video about how your taste in tattoos has evolved as you've gotten older.

I remember when you got the original tattoo and how you had mixed feelings about it pretty much from the beginning, I'm so happy that you're feeling confident in your skin again! The new tattoo is absolutely stunning

I'm in love with the shading effect the removed tattoo creates on the new crane! I've been tuning in for years now and still haven't gotten my first tattoo, but getting to know the lingo, tattoo AND removal processes are all so helpful for when I do make that leap! (Also hope we get more house reno updates soon!)
