Hide Your Ink Regrets With A Tattoo Concealer

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 have become very fashionable. Back in the day, it was mostly bikers, sailors and criminals that sported them and to get inked, you needed to find a parlor in the seedy part of town. Now you really only have to visit the mall. The problem with the accessibility of tattoos is that people don't always think through their designs and forget that they'll have to wear these for life. While you don't really need to hide your ink for a job interview, since your boss is likely to sport some tattoos as well, there are times when you may want to conceal the terrible design decision you made on impulse.

One common regret when it comes to getting tattooed is not choosing a reputable tattooist. This can lead to getting a design that is so badly executed that your picture of your baby daughter's first smile may end up looking like a picture of a screaming demon from the pits of hell. Many people think that it's safer to go for a meaningful slogan instead but then forget to proofread it beforehand.

Amazing as it sounds, a vast number of people still haven't cottoned on to the fact that getting a lover's name tattooed anywhere on your body is a bad idea. Even the rich and famous have done this. It may seem like a wonderfully romantic gesture at the time but relationships, engagements and marriages often end and you don't want to have a constant reminder of that heartache. Besides, your new partner won't like seeing your ex's name all the time either.

Especially young people tend to choose tattoos about something they're passionate about right at that moment. It can be a picture of their favorite singer, for instance, or the name of a TV show they love. These tattoos are often regretted before they've even healed properly.

While tattoo regrets are usually nothing more serious than a bit of embarrassment, there are cases where they can put your life in danger. One of the first things reformed gang members want to do is to get rid of their gang tattoos. After all, they can get killed for sporting the wrong gang's markings.

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.

Some tattoo parlors may sell concealers as well. Bridal stores and stores selling stage supplies may be able to help too or you can simply order a product online. However, be sure that the tone of the product perfectly matches your skin tone or it will create a discolored blotch that is even more unsightly.
