Travellohr, while some people do get tattoos without thinking and end up regretting them, not everybody does. The man who is completely tattooed in the picture is in his 50s, and he clearly has no intention yet to remove them, and I’d say he probably never will. While I understand some people have a revulsion or a hesitancy toward tattoos and that is their opinion, you can’t paint everyone with that same brush. It’s a completely personal thing, and yes, there are tons of tattooed people out there who HAVE considered that they are going to go through changes in their life and have STILL decided that they want an image or word on their body forever.

I just find it a tad patronizing when people ‘tut tut’ at those with tattoos, assuming that they haven’t thought it through and that they will for sure regret it one day! Because you obviously have a better idea of what I am going to be like in the future than I do. Just because you’d regret it doesn’t mean I will!

Just to answer your questions Travellohr:

No, hardly any insurance in the world covers the removal of tattoo’s.

It is very, very expensive since it often requires 20+ treatments in order to remove a tattoo and even then it might still show. so prepare to pay about 50 times more for removing then having a tattoo.

And laser-burning a tattoo away is understandibly quite painfull.. I know some people who have had tattoo’s removed and they all say it is infinitely more painfull then having a tattoo made.

So better think well before you have one

ok. to those of you who are harping on people for getting tattoos or “ewwww it’s gross”…..grow up. people have been getting tattooed since the begining of time. People that are heavily covered like the guy above are usually in the industry or have a profession that they can get covered and not have to worry about what people think. Don’t be a bully. Talking about what people look like instead of who they are as a person is considered a bully.

There is a lot of great artists at those shows and I suggest you go to one and try to get past the judgeing part of it and look at it for what it is. ….Art.

These people covered from head to toe – they haven't considered that they're going to go through changes in their life and possibly not want to look like this anymore? I wonder how much it costs to get tattoos removed. I wonder if insurance pays (I think not). I wonder if it hurts.
