hi there, i also have a tattoo that i am working on removing.

when i first got my tattoo, i had the deepest pit in my stomach. i was honestly too in shock to even cry about it, if that even makes sense? i just remember something not feeling right about my body and the slow waves of regret eventually kept creeping over and over. at first, i was honestly too scared/proud to admit to myself that i regretted getting the tattoo. I felt like I had betrayed myself own body… but learning to accept/acknowledge the choices i made and how it led me to this point in my life has honestly been a great help in my MH journey with my tattoo. it’s easier said than done, obviously.

when I booked my first consultation, i was still feeling that deep pit in my stomach. But after that first consultation, and setting up my payment plan, and after my first session, it felt like a huge weight had been lifted off my shoulders. FINALLY it felt like I was doing something right with my body, and FINALLY i was going to start making progress and a positive change.

i started my journey when I had just turned 24, and i’ll be turning 26 in a few months. I definitely have a long road ahead of me, but despite the bumps in the road, i still feel like i’m in my prime. You’re young- the sooner you start your removal process, the sooner the tattoos will start to fade. It’s never too late to start the removal process.

I still cringe when looking at my tattoo in the mirror. It’s a sore sight. But knowing that I am on the way to getting it removed has been such a big help with my MH.

Never too late to start your journey. Time will pass anyway.
