With that in mind, it’s usually best to thoroughly think through your choice before committing to it. Something that you could do is get a temporary tattoo of your design and see how you feel about it a few weeks or months later.
You could also set your design as your phone wallpaper and then check whether or not you’re sick of it months down the line. In short, you want to get a sense for how you’ll think of the tattoo not just now when you’re super excited, but also after lots of time has passed.
The Cleveland Clinic explains that one popular way to remove tattoos is laser tattoo removal, which involves focused beams of light heating up the ink particles in your skin to break them down so that your immune system can remove them. Usually, this takes multiple sessions.
Another technique is dermabrasion, a surgical procedure where your outer skin layers are removed, including the tattoo ink. This will leave an open wound on your skin, which will need lots of time to heal.
Other procedures include chemical peels (using chemicals to remove the permanent ink from your skin), surgical excision (removing the skin with the ink and then stitching the skin together, but this only works for small tattoos), and removal creams (they contain irritating and damaging acids that work slowly over months and may not be as efficient as other techniques).
Which of these abhorrent Simpsons tattoos do you personally feel are the very worst of the bunch, dear Pandas? Were there any designs that you thought were so bad that they’re actually kinda good?
Have you ever regretted getting a tattoo? What designs are you the most proud of? What, for you, are the signs of a truly great artist? We’d love to hear your opinions. Feel free to share yours in the comments.
