Do you regret your tattoo?

Are your sorry you got a tattoo?

Was your tattoo a mistake?

 

 

 

Well you’re not alone. Millions of people are in the same boat as you.  In many ways, tattoo regret this is the central theme of shoulditattoo.com.  People who put a lot of research, thought, and reflection into getting a tattoo have a much lower chance of suffering from tattoo regret.

Its bad enough making a bad decision, and remembering it. . .having to look at a poor choice every time you look in the mirror can be down right torture.

Some people have to just suffer because they don’t have the means to get their tattoo removed.  Having to face a misguided decision on a daily basis can lead to frustration, poor self esteem, and even long standing depression. People who ultimately remove their hated tattoos usually wait many years before doing so.

Many years of self deprecation and calling yourself “stupid” (its one thing when another person calls you stupid, its different when you do it) can take its emotional toll.  The fact is EVERYONE does things they regret at one time or another, and beating yourself up over it is counter production, and a waste of time.

When someone bring attention to your mistakes it’s insensitive, and it is a sign of their own insecurities!  They are actually trying to divert attention from their own mistakes or shortcomings. By putting the spotlight on you, its off them!

Recognize these signs of insecurity in others and don’t take them as a reflection of you. You have regret like everyone else, and you will learn to deal with it in your own way.

So you got a tattoo you don’t like. . . its really not that big a deal.  Do something about it . . .save up and get it removed or covered, or learn to like the tattoo. In the grand scheme of things, how important is it really?
