Some are pricier and some are more painful. It is an emotional and confusing step. However, it is also estimated that between 17 - 50% eventually regret having their body tattoo. There are many reasons for possibly wanting a tattoo removed - the positive element of tattoo removal is that you are not burdened with a tattoo you seriously regret.

If you have a gang-related tattoo and are no longer associating yourself with that gang, it would be in your best interests to have it removed. If you have a tattoo that symbolizes hate or prejudice, you can decide that it is time to let it go. If you are wearing a tattoo of a past love and now you have a new special person in your life, it would be unkind to your new love not to get rid of the old tattoo. If you have a tattoo that you wish to have removed partially or completely, you should first consider your options and decide which method might be best for you.
