Would You Get Your Tattoos Removed if It Was Painless?

LOL Ron says "Tattoos are a crutch for the insecure." Bree says that's the dumbest thing she's ever heard. Ron is the one who must be insecure, considering he feels the need to judge.

Jenya, does your tattoo say "Dolvno glupa pizda"?

Tattoos on women are ugly.

Tattoo = Skank.

Bodies are much more beautiful without them. Tattoos are a crutch for the insecure.

Well, as a blank slate myself i may not really have a voice in something like this but i have always had the opinion that one should take the time to be really really certain they want what ever tattoo that intrests them but also take into consideration " when i am an 80+ year old grandparent and my grandchild sees my tattoo will they think i drew on myself with a marker? if so then reconsider the tattoo or be willing to laugh at the idea of how it will look with wrinkled skin.

I dont have tattoos Im more of a piercing person who is actually considering getting wrist tats. The thing is to get them removed and for there to be pain is NOT the issue. The issue is how much its going to cost to remove. Its actually more expensive them putting it on! I could care less about the pain.

No. I wouldn't. I gave a lot of thought to the single tattoo I have, it's beautiful, it's discreet, and it means a lot to me. I can hide it when I need to/want to, and flaunt it likewise.

I only have one (so far) that i had done ten years ago for my 23rd birthday. I want another and would never have the one I have removed. I had it done to signify the end of a bad relationship, the beginning of a new and still going relationship and my need for personal expression. It is where I can hide it when need be and show it when I want to. After nine years of marriage, my next plan is to have my wedding band done on my finger and also have at least one other tattoo done before I am 35.

I think most people nowadays who still have tattoos or who are getting tattoos are doing it with the idea that it is supposed to be permanent, and people who do get a tattoo get them for better reasons than "I felt like it at the time." I'm tattoo-free, but I am seriously considering getting one, which would be a small memorial to my grandmother with her initials. You don't remove a memorial (unless you've read Crabwalk, but I don't recommend that book to anyone).

TATTOOS ARE NOT ATTRACTIVE..on ladies..especially those BIG ones..called "tramp stamps"..so degrading..and you wonder why men dont respect you..respect yourself

I have nothing against tattoos, but I have never seen one that was remarkable. I suppose they have some meaning for the tattooed person. That's fine. I have never gotten one because many resemble a bruise or open wound. Also, old or faded tatts are gross.

Hell yea I would remove it!

THINK BEFORE YOU INK! I thought I'd always love my tattoos, but after only 8 years they look dated and not as crisp and colorful as they used to. I would remove all six of the little token tattoos I've acquired over the years in a heartbeat. I will cover the one on the top of my foot and the one behind my ear with make-up when I get married, if they're not gone before then.

cost has been the main issue for me. I do have some sentimental attachment to them, but they're not quite who I am anymore. I got them when I had platinum blonde hair and wore motorcycle boots and miniskirts. I might consider another tat though- just don't want them to show at the office.

never. i would never get my tattoos removed. thats why we should all THINK before we get them! thats the rest of your life people!

I would definitely get rid of one, but pain was never the issue. The cost was the issue. I can handle pain, but I don't have the funds.

Every one of my tattoos symbolize something in my life. I would not get rid of them.

I waited for 6 years to get my one tattoo. I wouldn't move it, remove it, or change it at all! It is very personal, completely unique and represents a chapter in my life. I might get a second one someday to represent the next chapter in my life, and so on. But I would always wait, wait, wait, be & choosy choosy choosy about design, size, place, artist, etc... etc... etc... I think it's better to think of tattoos as permanent, and not easily removable. The easier they get to remove, the more you're going to see an upward trend of tattoo regret.

I would consider getting 1 (out of 4) of my tats removed. I just don't really like the way it turned out. The pain of the procedure wouldn't be my biggest concern. The most important thing to me would be appearance after the procedure. What is the point of getting my ugly tat removed if my skin is going to be badly scarred and just as ugly? Also, the procedure would have to be generally safe and affordably.

I have 3 tattoos. First one was at 35, second one at 45 and third one at 55. I really thought about which ones I wanted and what was happening to me in my life at that time. I would NOT remove any of them and hope to get a couple more. If people "look at me strange" or don't like them (one is on my forearm-underside) then they don't have to look or COMMENT!! Ink is great, I really lucked out with the artists that did them.
