What are the reasons why someone would want to remove a piercing or tattoo?
• Regret. Many tattoo and piercing studios offer walk-in appointments which encourages more “spur of the moment” decisions rather than a more comprehensive, thought-out process. • Starting a professional job. Many places of employment discourage their employees from having visible tattoos or piercing; there are many stories of people who chose to have a tattoo or piercing in a place that compromises their ability to get a job or maintain a job because of a company’s policies or expectations of their employees. • Romance ends. NEVER put someone’s name on your body…it’s just not good practice! • Bad Workmanship. The artists who provide bad work are called “scratchers” in the field. Poor placement, design and painful effects of a tattooing or piercing can result in dissatisfaction with the outcome. • Change in lifestyle. As you age, you may become bored with the tattoo or piercing OR you may become more conservative as you start a family or achieve professional positions in the workplac
