Top 10 Tattoo Regrets Revealed By Premier Laser

By Mary Basiadima, 14 July 2015

Over the years we have kept a record of the many tattoos we have successfully removed. Here is the list, in no particular order!.

Can you identify with the list? Are you or someone you know guilty of any in the top ten?

Removal or covering your tattoo

Body art has become much more popular in recent years, with celebrities like David Beckham actively showing off their ink and looking fantastic for it. However, for every appreciated and much loved tattoo, there are many that are deeply regretted.

Perhaps they are symbols of emotional scars we want to forget, perhaps they were done on impulse and don’t represent who we are right now – maybe they simply don’t look good or don’t even mean what they were supposed to. With today’s advanced laser you can now have your tattoo removed or faded so you can have it covered.

Advanced laser technology

Previously tattoos could be considered a permanent piece of body art, with no real successful tattoo removal treatments being present on the cosmetic market.

Studies show that more than half of people with three or more tattoos regret at least one of their designs. Yet only one in 20 tattoo fans have had their designs either erased or changed, despite technology making removals far easier.

With innovative technology advances, laser tattoo removal has revolutionised the industry, enabling anyone and everyone with a tattoo they want removed painlessly, effectively and quickly.

Top 10 tattoo regrets

10. Fairy

90’s sensation Britney Spears has a fairy tattoo, as does The World Is Not Enough star Denise Richards. According to this study, Coolsculpting (get redirected here) it turns out for some, fairies aren’t always so magical.

9. Signs Of The Zodiac

R&B star Rihanna and heroes star Hayden Panettiere both have signs of the zodiac tattoos. Did the horoscopes predict regret for the owners of these mystical tattoos?

8. Celtic Designs

Canadian actor Jay Baruchel has a large Celtic cross design on his arm, as does singer, songwriter and actor Justin Timberlake and gorgeous Maroon 5 singer Adam Levine. It looks like the luck of the Irish doesn’t prevent lots of people regretting their own Celtic tattoo designs.

7. Chinese Symbols

David Beckham has them, Megan Fox has them, Justin Bieber has them and Britney Spears has them. They can often be mistaken for something else and are notorious for meaning something different to what the owner thought they meant, for example; Britneys Chinese symbol on her hip was meant to say ‘mysterious’ but it actually means ‘strange’. They were a huge tattoo fad in the 90’s, but the fad is most definitely over for many owners of Chinese symbol tattoo designs with them being the seventh most regrettable tattoo designs in this study.

6. Butterfly

Mariah Carey has one, Vanessa Hudgens has one as does Paris Hilton and Kelly Osbourne, but these pretty insects don’t stay pretty for long according to our study, with them being the sixth most regrettable tattoo design in the study.

5. Stars

Stars became fashionable after super star Rihanna had stars tattooed on her back and behind her ear. Jessica Alba, Avril Lavigne and Sienna Miller also all have star tattoos. But at 5th most regrettable in the study, many owners of star tattoos are wishing upon them to go away.
