Use A Tattoo Concealer For Your Regrets

By Jocelyn Davidson


When you're young, it's perfectly normal to make some decisions that you'll regret in years to come. Maybe it's a haircut that will one day make you hide every picture from this period of your life. Maybe it's someone who is obviously wrong for you. Maybe it's an impulsive decision to get tattooed with a design that will one day see you hanging your head in shame. For this last one, there is an easy solution in the form of a tattoo concealer.

Tattoos used to be something only people with a questionable reputation would get. Nowadays, however, they're so mainstream that mothers and daughters sometimes get matching ones. Often you don't even have to venture further than the local mall to find a good tattooist. This easy access has a drawback, though, since it's so easy to make an impulsive decision and then have to wear that design for the rest of your life.

Among the most common of ink regrets are those tattoos that are simply badly done. You may have chosen an artist who wasn't very experienced or talented and that picture of your young daughter may have ended up looking like you chose to sport a weird species of monkey on your shoulder. Alternatively, you may have misspelled a word on that profound saying you got imprinted on your arm.

Another common tattoo regret is to get the name of your great new love tattooed on your body in those heady first weeks of a relationship. When the excitement wears off and you find yourself wondering why you ever wanted to be with this person, you're cursed with that constant reminder of them every time you look at your left buttock. Even worse, every love that follows in years to come will have to look at that name as well.

Another bad tattooing decision is to get one about the hit TV series of the moment. Next year the show may not be as cool anymore and you'll like something else while your arm still says 'Gossip Girl forever'. The same goes for the names of popular bands. Even more profound symbols can be cause for regret. For instance, you may not be as enthusiastic about that crucifix on your chest anymore if you convert to Islam.

For most people, having a regrettable tattoo is cause for embarrassment and maybe even some mirth. For some, however, certain tattoos can be downright dangerous. Gang members often get tattooed with designs that clearly show their affiliations and having these when they're in a rival gang's territory can get them killed, even if they've left the gang years ago.

Luckily these days it's quite simple to have tattoos removed with the help of laser. However, this procedure is not only expensive but can leave unsightly scars. It's much cheaper to apply a quality concealer instead. This is a great option too if you only need to hide your ink for a little while.

When you buy a concealer, test it on your skin to ensure that it matches your natural skin tone. If you choose a tone that is too dark or too light, everyone will be able to tell that you're trying to hide something. Ask about products at your local tattoo studio or even at a bridal store or buy some online.
