In this article, we’ll explore the top 8 reasons people may choose to get rid  of or fade a tattoo. There may be more but these are the most common 8 ones we hear.

1. Removing the name of an ex-partner

Probably one of the most common reasons for laser tattoo removal. You were in love once but sadly it didn’t last. The benefit of laser tattoo removal is that if you love the surrounding tattoo area but just want to get rid of the name, we can do this very precisely with our laser machine.

2. Holiday Memory

You had the holiday of a lifetime. You went to the most beautiful place on the planet. You were relaxed, happy, and this was the best you’ve ever felt. You need a memory of this moment. So, you get a tattoo. You come home after your holiday, and after a week of still feeling amazing, reality hits. For some reason, the tattoo doesn’t look as good as it did on your dream location, when you were by the pool, or on a beach!

3. The tattoo has lost its meaning

At the time of getting the tattoo, it meant so much to you. It reminded you of a time and place you were in, and you needed to capture it. However that time has passed, and it doesn’t mean that much to you anymore, so it needs to be gone. We can help.

8. The Big Day

The love of your life has just proposed to you and you said yes! Congratulations.

There are many reasons to get rid of tattoos before the big day; ex-boyfriend’s name, the dress you had in mind doesn’t cover the tattoo or you just don’t want to look back at your photos from the big day in years to come and see your ink.

Having said that, many women absolutely nail it with tattoos on their big day and look stunning.

However, if you feel you want your body to be a clear canvas for your wedding day, there is a solution available to you in laser tattoo removal.

9. A drunken mistake

We all do things we don’t mean to when we’ve had a few too many wines. Rocking up to a tattoo parlour after a big night out is not an uncommon one. But now you regret it. “What were you thinking???’’ you ask yourself, and “What design did I even ask for??”
