Tattoo Removal Happens to Tattoo Regret

Explores tattoo popularity, social and celebrity influence, reasons for regret, and the many removal methods to undo tattoos.

Celebrity Tattoos - Where oh Wear They Ink 

Gotta love celebrity tattoos! Find Out Where They Ink.

When it comes to celebrities, the world is obsessed with their hair, clothing, love life, babies, and of course their tattoos. Find out which celebrity tattoos are located where on the body.

Lower Back Tattoos are at the top of the list for woman getting their first tattoo. Considered sensual, sexy, and the most versatile, lower back tattoos can be exposed on the beach, yet covered in the office. They can be shared with a lover and hidden from the rest of the world. Who's Got Back: Angelina Jolie with a lower back tiger tattoo and Jessica Alba with a bow.

Neck Tattoos were once considered a taboo area for most tattoo artists, but is now becoming an area that is put out on the line. Tattooing boundaries have opened with the recent explosion of tattoo enthusiasts regarding what is considered acceptable body art and tattoos.

In the past, a full tattoo body suit left necks hands and feet untouched so that an individual could "cover-up" their tattoos with a suit or long dress.

They could pass incognito among a crowd at social functions, but today, full body tattoo accepts true meaning. See Allen Iverson for neck tattoos or even Robbie Williams has a neck tattoo.

Upper Arm Tattoos, specifically the female armband tattoos have made their way around again. The Tribal Band designs in particular have paid for an onslaught of Harley's parked in front of many tattoo shops. Pamela Anderson helped to trigger the "band wagon" with her sexy barbwire tat.

Ankle Tattoos always tend to be popular among super models. Their delicate and bold designs make their way across models such as Christy Turlington and Stephanie Seymour

Breast Tattoos are popular. Just to be firm there is a difference between chest and breast tattoos. Examples of breast tattoos are widely searched on the Internet. But if you are looking for celebrity breast tattoos look to Teri Polo, Christina Ricci's with her Bluebird and Rapper Eve.

Foot Tattoos have gained a lot of foot traffic in popularity among vacationers. The popular "Pedi-Souvenir" is not so popular when it comes to a permanent reminder, as tattoo on the feet fade quickly and require frequent touch ups. Artists know for their tattoo tootsies included Carrie Otis and Charlize Theron.

Wrist Tattoos are another popular area chosen among the stars. A wrist tattoo can be easily hidden under a watch or decorative bracelet if need be. Lindsay Lohan has the word "breathe" written on her wrist.

Tattoos: Rebels to Soccer Moms 

Tattoos Increase in Popularity.. What's Next?

Today, tattoos are deemed by many as stylish, cool, and the "in thing" to do. Once regarded as defiant and reckless behavior of outlaws, gangsters, and bikers that singled out the true bad boys in a crowd, now tattoos are be worn by soccer moms and bikers alike. Over the last decade tattoos have lost their edge, swept away in the current of mainstream America, as a fashionable accessory on a sea of millions.

And if you think only the young and wild generation is getting tattooed think again. Droves of nanas, grandmas, and savvy soccer moms alike are sporting decorative tattoo designs of roses, and hearts.

So what lies ahead in the future for the tattoo fade? Tattoos, once an expression of rebellion now searches for a new meaning to rebellion. Will the next onslaught of Wild Child Renegades be so desperate to stand out as rebellions that they are forced to put on a Full Suit covering face, hands and neck with tattoos? If so, will the mainstream follow the same current fashion trend? And will the nanas, grandmas and savvy soccer moms put on their waders and follow "full" suit? Only time, millions of tattoos, and extreme desperation will tell.

Whatever the future holds, there is one thing for certain, if tattoo popularity continues to rapidly swell as it has, the stock market will be flood with thirsty investors eager to absorb the mainstream tattoo removal industry.

Finding a Doctor: Laser Tattoo Removal 

Finding the Right Laser Tattoo Removal Doctor

Along with the rise in tattoo popularity comes an increase in tattoo removal. With more and more people getting tattoos its only natural more people will want to remove tattoos as well. A classic example of supply and demand, with tattoo regret on the rise, an influx of doctors have jumped aboard the lucrative laser gravy train eager to fire up their shiny new lasers to practice tattoo removal on people like you.

When trying to find a doctor to remove your tattoo it is important to keep in mind the title "physician or surgeon" does not mean qualified to operate a laser. Certified training, actual hands on experience, and proven results are necessary for doctors to perform laser treatments safely.

If you are thinking of getting a tattoo removed with laser treatments, you will want to consider time and money as well as the doctor you choose.

Research the reputation of several doctors offering laser tattoo removal and keep in mind you want to find a doctor not only with a good reputation, but also one conveniently located to work or home because you will be making many visits throughout the removal process.

Once you have narrowed your search, schedule an initial consultation with each potential doctor. This will give allow you to see the facility, and meet the doctor and other staff members.

Before your appointment write down a list of your questions or concerns.

It is important to discuss realistic expectations and outcome of procedure specific to your tattoo.

Find out who will be administering the laser treatments? If he or she is not administering the treatments, ask to meet the person who will be, and ask for their title, training and qualifications.

Ask for a copy of a price quote of how much each treatment costs and how many treatments are expected to effectively remove your tattoo.

Remember, there are plenty of doctors out there removing tattoos with lasers, the key is finding a qualified one.

Tattoo Removal Rules of Engagement 

Tattooland's Rules to Avoid Removal

Its official, you are engaged to be married. The thought of ever loving another man/woman unimaginable so to celebrate the occasion you get his and her tattoos.

The meaning of your tattoos was as deep and forever lasting as your exchange of blissful vows, until the beloved day of your messy divorce battle in court.

Things happen, life happens, and well tattoos happen to stay, unless they are removed with one of the many tattoo removal methods.

Fortunately, the days of "built to last" are bygones, thanks to revolutionary technology and with your change of heart; you can change your tattoo art.
So regardless of the many options to fade away tattoo regret, when it comes to tattoos there are a few rules of engagement even for the happiest of happy couples about to wed.

Names aren't smart. Tattooing someone's name on your body, especially a significant other's name, is just simply a bad idea. Be more creative, original, and smarter about getting a tattoo - "Honey" or '"sweetheart" or even a nickname, but whatever you do don't blatantly confess for the world to read in plain skin your deepest love for Mary.

When it comes to getting tattoos women tend to get ink on private sensual areas of their bodies, whereas men on the other hand tend to get tattoos on areas of their bodies easy to show off to the rest of the world.
But the tattoo reality about visual placement: with jeans, it's all about "pocket placement" and the same is true of tattoos. If your going to get a tattoo, put it where the sun doesn't shine (translates to get tattoos on body areas covered by clothing).

Remember things happen, life happens, and if you happen to get engagement tattoos getting a non-name specific design in an area easily concealed by clothing makes life so much easier should forever translate into 13 months, 4 days and 6 hours of hell joined by the process of tattoo removal.
