A lot of people wonder what their options are if they have less than perfect tattoos. Well, you can live with them, or you can chose to have a cover up, or laser removal. Which is best for you, and what worked for me? Stay tuned for my experience, and some major before and after photos of the process.

I think it's silly that people are criticizing you for having a tattoo removed. It's your body and your money, so you can do with it as your please. Don't let the hate get you down. ❤️
I used to think I wanted a text tattoo. Yeah, you've helped me rethink that. Thanks.
If it helps, I have multiple text tattoos and have never been asked about it by a stranger. The only time people have asked about it is people who I was already talking to, and normally when we are exchanging tattoo stories. Get whatever tattoo you love :)
I have two tattoos.. one is just text.. one is text coming out of a image.. I love them both.. the only one i get asked about in my thigh piece.. i just say what it says.. and move on.. but hardly get asked.. and to honest the only time it is seen is in shorts or a swim suit
Love the new intro! I hate when people act like because you have a tattoo that normal personal boundaries/etiquette no longer applies. I've had people straight up move my hair to see my tattoo behind my ears. Like, when is that ever ok?
this video cleansed my soul and cured my fever. your tattoos look so good, the cobweb is soooo nice
Wow, the recolored tattoo looks so much better, the colors pop way more. That teal locket with the gold filigree! ❤️
Oh my god everyone tries to read my tattoo. Usually I'm just like "sure" but it does get tiring. It's on my inner forearm, so it's visible, but not? Do you know what I mean? It's also annoying because then I have to explain it because they don't get it. And since it's a tribute to my dad who passed away, sometimes I just don't want to talk about it.
I have a text tattoo as well, so annoying when people ask/feel they deserve to know! I've had people come up to me on the street, pull my shirt down (my tattoo is on my back), read my tattoo and ask what it means. Blows my mind people think this is acceptable.
I feel like the oxidation of the locket is very symbolic of this entire situation and was an amazing choice made by you and the artist
Could you maybe talk about "Basic" tattoos? one of my friends got an infinity tattoo back in 2012 and shes so annoyed with people saying shes a basic bitch for having it. I think its kind of interesting too see the evolution of "trendy" tattoos!
Just watched this in reference to deciding whether I should get my HORRIBLY DRAWN tattoo fully removed or just do a cover-up ~ I decided that I'll just get it fully removed because I want my body to look how I want out of respect for myself, no matter how much it costs. Thanks so much for this video!
I have really dark BLACK mess covering my full lower back and I desperately want it gone!!! Badly :(
Ive been watching your videos for some time now and TTT has helped me tremendously! I've been the person to stay within my comfort zone when it comes to tattoo artist just because i was so unsure how to make an appointment when it came to getting a tattoo from an artist out of state. Through your videos and guidance Ya girl is currently 7 days away from traveling to portland and getting a Mewithoutyou inspired tattoo from one of my favorite artist. Many thank!
Love the intro fade out/video fade in! Much smoother than the last TTT :)
You make Tuesdays so much better, thanks girl ☺️
You're always gorgeous, but you look super gorgeous in this video!
I didn't know it wasn't ok to ask someone to see their tattoo. I think that person asked in a rude way but I've told people I like their tats before. Honestly, I don't see why someone would take offense to a person being interested in their tats. I appreciate tats for the artistry and stories they hold and I like to see nice ones. You can't stop someone from reading a tattoo that's in public. I don't think people should be demanding about it, but they will look no matter what you say they're allowed to do
It's super annoying when you get asked all the time about your tattoo. I have people grab my arm without asking, so they can see my tattoo. Honestly, it is so annoying to get stopped all the time, and having to move your arm around to show people. It's one thing to say "hey, cool tattoo" and another to make me stand there while you move my arm around.
If I wear a slogan t-shirt, I expect people to read it. I thought people with script tattoos felt the same way. I would never ask anyone to move to read one, and I certainly don't touch people I don't know, but it never occurred to me that people would put "private" script tattoos in exposed areas.
I have the words "independently happy" on my wrists to prevent self harm. It's a song title from a band that helped me get through a really hard time in my life and it's on my wrists, so yeah, it's out in the open 99.99% of the time, but that doesn't mean it's there for anyone but me. Tattoos are personal and even when they don't have some super deep meaning, we're still not billboards.
As soon as you said the name Mark Cross, I got excited. That's one of my best friends brothers. Yassssss.
I went through a tough depression, Had a spontaneous tattoo I got removed, Had a bunch of people with tattoos tell me not to remove it, faded it to a point I'm happy with. It's been almost 4 years since I got it and I'm still waiting to cover it when the time is right. As the tattoo faded, I worked on my mind and getting myself mentally healthy again! I agree never to let anyone tell you what you should and shouldn't do for yourself or your own body. I took it as an experience and have gotten more tattoos since. Plus its always a fun story to talk about why I have a super faded tattoo!
I love seeing Ethan! He's so cute
Notification squad 🤓
This video really gave me a lot of reassurance and I guess hope in my tattoo goals. I recently got a session done on my sleeve that I just loathe and realllllly wanna fix. So hearing about your experience really helps!
The new tattoos look so good! When you said the locket used to be red I was like whaaat, did the blue cover the old color without need for laser?
I had one tattoo reworked and man I'm so grateful my tattoo artist agreed to do it, I used to avoid looking at my forearm (that's not easy) but now I love it!
Really relating to this and considering removing my back tattoo to replace with a new one. I got this tattoo right when I turned 18, I was a little too eager and it doesn't really fit in unity with the rest of my tattoos
I am fair skinned too so I totally get why you had the removable first. Makes sense
I love the reworked tattoo!
I have lyrics on my arm and they're in French and..it's a personal tattoo. It's a little annoying when people say "oh wow can you say it in French!?" I can but I just don't like to and they get offended when I say I don't want to.
Or when I tell them what it means they're like that's like a suicide note!
Tattoos are soo exoensive in the US, i live in Uruguay and the most expensive ones are about 60$
Lucia G oh god. So good price :((
I hear you when you say it's very awkward and unwarranted when strangers want to read / examine your tattoos in a public setting. I read an article about this once and the author compared it to catcalling, rather "tatcalling" which I think is pretty accurate. (everydayfeminism.com/2015/06/tattoos-are-not-invitations/)
EVERYDAYFEMINISM, lol ofc he compares it to catcalling, buch of dumbass feminists with stupid arguments. If you care so much than place yourself in a bubble and don't leave your house next time. Fuck's sake.
Listen to these every week, always love them. Your honesty is so helpful, it's refreshing and appreciated!
I've had my large forearm tattoo for less than a year. It's black and grey and I've actually realised that I should've initially had it done in colour and by another artist. Cover up is unfortunately not an option, so I guess I'm just going to have to wait until laser or something else proves to be something I can afford. Ah well, I'm not sad or worried by it, I guess your channel has made me realise that I shouldn't rush these things and that there's plenty of time to get what you want. Thanks for these awesome videos, love your tattoos!
That intro 👏👏👏
THANK YOU! Just because I have tattoos does not mean I just get anything on my body
Main reason I don't want a text tattoo is because I don't want people reading me. Plus I can't relate with a phrase so much that it has to be embedded into my skin for the rest of my life. Both my sisters have text tattoos and a shared tattoo of long island with a star over our childhood neighborhood. Walking maps and books lol But whatever floats their boats, it's just not for me.
I'm also super fair-skinned and recently got a cover up. I can "see" the old tattoo, but no one else has a clue, even when they're up close and personal. It's possible, but I wouldn't choose that method for every tattoo I wanted to replace/update/rework.
Do whatever YOU want for your body. If people don't understand or question you that is their problem. Every part of your body matters to you!
Once you had your tattoos removed, was the cover up more painful, or did it just feel like it did the first time you had that place tattooed?
been binge watching your channel for 3 days now and you're such a nice person i wish i could meet you and talk to you. i like how self-reflecting you always are. and please don't stop making those long rambly story telling videos they're so nice to watch. love from germany
I'm am enjoying watching Tattoo Talk Tuesday so much! I don't have any tattoos yet, but it's something I definitely want to do. in the future. I've learned so much from watching your channel. Thank you for sharing your experience and your stories.
I love the way you collect tattoos! Your arm looks awesome with a bunch of smaller tattoos together!
I just watched a few of your videos and I have to say: I love how natural and simple you are. Also, you talk about very interesting and informative stuff about tattoos, thank you for that. :) x
I love the rose and the lock, they look great together, nice colors aswell !!!
hey lovely! I have my upper back tattooed and I'm not going to lie it did hurt pretty bad but I just got my sternum/"underboob" ribs done this past weekend and it hurt about a million times more. So if you could handle your sternum and ribs this will be a piece of cake!
That's why you need to think before you ink
I really love the spiderweb and the placement. I can't wait to see what you have planned for your back piece!
I got a tattoo on my hand and I loved it when I first got done, but as the healing process went on something went funky. I have 6 other tats that I love! Ones even jailhouse, it was my first and still is my favorite even tho it's faded and needs touched up. I've always thought I'd just live with it because I love it minus the execution, but after alot of videos and reading a shitload of reviews on shops near me I'm going to get it removed and redone. I know it'll suck pain wise but I want it to be something I can look at and truely love.
well impo you could go in for those few letters once again with lazer to complete removal. but if you are fine with it i doubt anyone would notice because the renewal coverup looks great!
That's a good point about people trying to read your text tattoos. I hadn't thought about that. I really want a text tattoo, but haven't decided on placement, now I have something more to take into consideration on where would be a good spot. Love your videos!
I've lazer and I'm having a cover up, fab video
Maybe im weird but i LOVE talking about my few tattoos. It is a good start to a conversation. (then again i haven't had anyone say anything negative) Most of the time it's that is so cool i've never seen that. Or even better someone has something that unites us ( i have a jedi tattoo) it is like finding a family member in the world who gets a little piece of you. Again though maybe im weird.
Your tattoos look so great! This makes me feel better about tomorrow, as I'm getting my first ever tattoo fixed! :) (I learned the "cheap tattoos are bad tattoos" the bad way.... Oh well!)
2:45. This might be an unpopular opinion but for me, the more tattoos I have the more important coverups and reworks are. I know more now that I have more ink. Therefore, I now want my ink to be perfect where as before I didn't know any better. Maybe that's just me.
Your rose and locket tattoo looks absolutely amazing! I love it!
you could've just videotaped the cat for 15 minutes and I still would've watched it. great video btw.
This isn't a story I share bc of the rampant Hate for plus size ppl in out society but I relate to Quken here. I got my first tattoo on my 18th birthday which I do love. It's angel wings on my left shoulder blade. The problem is I really wanted a full back tattoo of wings. I was over weight at the time and had too many back problems to get what I wanted. The real issue was that in my head I felt like I would never over come those problems. Now I have. It been 8 years and the black outline of wings are really faded. I know this will help with whatever I decide. Thanks.
When I first saw this I was confused about why you didn’t like text tattoos on yourself that are personal, and then I got a tattoo on my chest that included text. I worked at a gas station and everyday someone would ask me about my tattoo, and I even had someone move my shirt to read my tattoo. So I got a blast over and covered that shit up.
I've been working on something similar. Had a small tattoo in the middle of my upper back but wanted something bigger over it. To stop it being too dark, I had 8 laser sessions and am now 2 sessions into my cover which should be finished in the next session. I'm as pale as you are and so understand not wanting to go too dark with the coverup, but no one understood why I was going through laser removal to have it done again. Would rather take time and money and get what I want.
love your tattoo and yea people are always trying to read my leg tattoo.
I love your tattoo advice and your honesty. I feel the same way about my tattoos as well. I'm always a work in progress & that's okay :) another great TTT!
When I hear how cheap tattoo removal and (good) tattoos are in the US I get so jealous :/
Great video! I'd be really scared of offending the original artist when talking about things I would want to get changed up or reworked which sucks... It really looks awesome and I aspire for my tattooed body to look like yours (you know, not look like yours but kind of the vibe)
i've said this before and i'll say it again; it makes me so happy that you love joanna newsom
I have always wondered how does weight gain/weight loss affect tattoos?
Stretches/shrinks/sags them. Same with the rest of the skin lol
You go girl. I change my hair all the time and own 20 wigs. I like to change it up all the time. I had a flower and I reworded it.
Oh man. I've never been able to explain why i hate people trying to read my text tattoo. I work in a coffee shop and at least once a day people will ask what my arm says and I just feel so vulnerable and conflicted.
Wow, your tattoos are really improved and look gorgeous! I love the color choices!
The intro is amazing. You're making so many improvements.
Exactly!!
I messed up and couldn’t wait for removal and covered it up now I have A lot I’m not so happy with!!
Btw that spider web would have sucked eggs !!
It’s all deadly up under the arm
Wowee I'm pretty new to ur channel so have just been watching through PR, just saw the removal ep this morning so is v exciting to now see the finished result of it all :) congrats looks great
thank you for this vid, has helped me decide to laser before a cover up, i think i will definitely be happier in the long run
Can we remove all tattoo if we don't want to be tattoed anymore?
Qcknd, I'm having a horrible dilemma at the moment. Coming into my 20s I really thought that I wanted to be completely covered in tattoos and now I have very visible tattoos all over my arms, with my left arm almost at a sleeve. But I've only just realised that they're not a true representation of me anymore and I don't know what to do. I'm scared about how much it's going to cost to get rid of them and I'm embarrassed to explain to people that I got rid of them because I regretted them (essentially) - do you have any tips or advice on how to cope with this situation? It's becoming quite debilitating, to the point where I'm constantly down and can't even stand to look at myself in the mirror (let alone look at my arms in general)
love that you compared body mods to going to the gym!
I feel like it's so sad that people think it's any of their business what you do with your body. If I could afford it I would have some removed before I got a new one in its place. Somebody always has something to say about somthing. So don't worry and do you. Much respect and love ♡
I love your tattoo vlogs and it would be fun if you did some of them when you get your backpiece and so on :) I'm exited!
I lovveee the colors of the new one. All of your tattoos fit so well together :)
I don't want people reading my text tattoo like you, but I love mine too much to get it removed so I'm just going to cover it with makeup and liquid bandaid or some bracelets when I start my jobs in the future
I’m the process of doing this very same thing. More power to you.
I'm so happy that you uploaded! 💞💘
I have a text tattoo I want covered up with a color tattoo so this video was SUPER helpful! I've been thinking I'll need a bit of laser to at least lighten the black text so I can get some lighter color.
i'm having a shitty day..a shitty week, actually.. but your videos cheers me up..thank you.
I'm getting a cover up and am looking at laser the parlor I am going to is now offering laser.. ngl the thought of laser scares me but I hope I won't have to do more than a couple sessions before the cover up
New subscriber here so I'm playing catch-up! But I'd love to see how the rest of your back tattoo removal goes. I have a tattoo on my ribs that I'm dying to get rid of. I can't decide though if I just want it removed altogether, or faded and then covered up. I know if I cover it up though, it's going to turn into a huge side piece, so this video was well needed! Thanks for all the insight!
I'm so excited for your back piece!😭
Your videos always make me feel refreshed and so happy :)
How did I miss this video?? I'm getting my arm piece reworked + more added to it by a different artist so it kind of worked out that I'm just now seeing this. :D
I love that you kept winking at us in this video ;)
How many sessions of laser did you do overall, if you dont mind me asking?
Can you do a video on tipping? Like how much is too much/too little. And why a person should tip.
Laser tattoo removal is not a fun procedure. Just finished my first session on my neck, your skin begins to bleed heavily and you can smell the burning ink in the air.
Definitely a bit late to this party, but love your tattoo reworks! I think the oxidised locket looks gorgeous, totally cohesive with your whole arm! Was wondering where your cute bralette/strait back bra thing was from? Thought it was hella cute x
First, I found your channel yesterday and have been binge watching your TTT's and have found them all super helpful. I want a sleeve and didn't know how to go about finding the perfect artist, I have just been going to people that other people I know have been going to and I like him but he doesn't do the style I want.
Second, where is your kimono from?
And third, know any good artists in the Columbus, OH area?
Looking forward to watching your back piece journey!
I'm getting my sternum finished in a couple of days... goodluck to me :|
you look super pretty in this video! and love that "kimono"!
This Kimono looks so cute on you! ♡
i love this series! Gonna have a marathon now ;)
Looking for some advice:
How often can you get tattoos touched up? I had a quite small tattoo with a lot of detail done 4 years ago. The colors and even the black have faded a lot so I would love to get a touch up. But since it‘s a small tattoo i‘m scared that the lines will get thicker threw the touch up and take away a lot of the detail. I‘m also scared that if I get it touched up now I won’t be able to get it touched up in some years because it might just cause to much trauma to the skin going over it several times. (Hope that makes sense) Would be so so great full for an answer.
Yay! I missed tattoo talk tuesday :)
I do have a text tattoo but it's in a place that is only seen when I wear tank tops or the like. People do try to read it and then the explanation is grueling. I can't wait to get a coverup.
Love this video! I have a tattoo on my ankle I got it when I was 18 so I relate to this video I may rework my tattoo Love your insight thank you! how was the removal? Ive watched your videos are you happy with the outcome? ( I have 4 tattoos now style has changed! I totally agree)
So informative, love the t.t.t.’s!!
What kind of laser clinic did you go to? Do you remember if the laser was picosure or a q-switched?
All this tattoo talk :p makes me want new ink!
