Tattoo regrets?
Replies
-
Not really a regret, more of a reminder of my past, an anarchy tattoo on the back of my calf. I swore I would never get one covered, but there's a good chance this one will get covered.0
-
I love mine and I can't wait for my next one. I kinda wish I would have picked different spots for them, but it isn't really a regret.0

I have a cover up. Well, not really a cover up ~ more like a revision. I had a sun tattoo with a face on it. Got tired of that face, turned it into a spiral within the sun.0

2 weeks and 1 day away from my cover-up. SO excited!
I was 18 years and one week old, and nobody was going to tell me any different. So I got my initial tattooed onto my lower abdomen. It looks just as bad as you may imagine. I paid $35 for it.
All these years and weight gain/loss later, it has a big stretch mark running through it, so I am going to turn it into a piece I love, to remind me not to let myself get unhealthy again, and to reward me for accomplishing my goals.
It will be an Irish-themed piece, with clovers and shamrocks and vines.
Pics WILL be forthcoming :bigsmile:0 -
No regrets, I love mine but my friend just got his first. He made a huge mistake and is very unhappy with the end result. Part of his mistake might have been going to a friend to get the work done. Personal opinion but it's a bad idea to have a friend do your tattoo, know your artist and their reputation yes but a friend you hangout with on a regular basis not so much, and my buddies results re-enforced this belief. The guy put the stencil on his back and my friend didn't check it, not the position or the spelling. So when the guy finished, took a picture and showed it to my buddy...yup, it was spelled wrong. It was his last name Williams, well it was supposed to be instead it was Willams. The guy tried to fix it by inserting the missing i but it looks terrible. I told him once it's healed I will take him to my artist and we'll see what can be done.0

How awful!! Words can be tricky ~ you have to make sure your tattoo artist isn't dumb...or at the very least, not a bad speller!!!0 -

yep. the one on my breast. Going to eventually get that bad boy removed.0
-
I have a tattoo on my side.
I can admit I let somebody "practice" on me and it turned out obviously horrible. lol.
After I reach my goal weight I will definetly getting a big piece on my side to cover it.0 -
I love mine, but I would tweak the placement just a little on two of them if I could. No regrets, though.0
-
No way. Love my tat and can't wait to get more.0
-
No regrets on the tattoos, though I might have done different placement. Maybe.. I'm not sure, haha. There are some days where I love where I put 'em, and others where I rethink it. But most days, I'm pretty happy with them, because they're both reminders of important times in my life.
Now to graduate school so I can get the other two started.. Heh heh.0 -
I just regret having the guy who did mine do it, because even as a professional he just did a terrible job. I'm going to have it retouched/fixed in the near future.0
-
I have five. I love two of them. One I am indifferent on, another is ok but the one on my ankle I HATE. I cover it with makeup every time I wear a dress. And sometimes when I wear capri's. Some day I want to have it removed. If I had the money, I'd do it now.0

i was an idiot in my early twenties and i got two tattoos i want removed so bad.
on a trip to LA i got a tattoo of the comedy/tragedy faces. it looks like something from motley crue theater of pain. its so stupid looking, its right on my ankle, just in so many ways a bad idea. my friends tried to talk me out of it.. should have listened.
the other one is a golden dollar sign, i was really into ayn rand.. its on the inside of my other ankle.. again, really stupid, friends tried to talk me out of it..
i'm can be really stubborn in a really bad way0 -
I have one, but I literally crossed it out, like had a tattoo of an big "X" over it. So, I figure that is as covered as I will allow. I don't allow cover ups, because that's a part of your life, and I want it there. But, the cross out is funny. LOL. At least to me. To someone else, it's not so funny.0

Live and learn!!! This is cracking me up though!!! You're close to my age ~ I sooooo would have gotten the Theater of Pain tattoo back in the day!!!
And you're in Fremont? I live in SF!0 -
I regret the spot. I got a pink ribbon on my right shoulder blade. I love the tattoo. But on my left shoulder blade is preemie sized baby hand print. Both have special meaning. But it wasn't until I got home and looked in the mirror that I realized I look like a walking charity billboard.
So, I am going to get the ribbon covered up and have another pink ribbon added in a different location.0 -
I have one tattoo -- it's a tattoo of a mirror. When you look at it, you can see yourself in it. It's a great conversation piece; I have no regrets whatsoever.0

I have four, one i hate because the guy screwed it up, the other 3 I like but the one I wish I put it somewhere else. My bf on the other hand wants all 4 of his removed. When he was 18 he got the disturbed logo thing on his chest and now had to get a huge cover up and you can still see it through the cover up. The other ones are just fading and something he picked off a w all0

Yep! Well not so much MY regret. But I had one that matched and ex... hubby didn't like that so much. Had it cover a few months ago. Ahhhh, the peace. lol0
-
My ex and I got each others names along with some silly little picture with on our arms. Mine was tinkerbell. I got my tattoo covered up years ago, you can't even tell it was ever there.
What I really regret is letting him get a half naked girl with my likeness above my name. Which both are still on his upper arm.....six years later.
I've since remarried and moved to the other side of the country. But the tattoo is still on his arm. :noway:0
