Monday, August 14, was National Tattoo Removal Day. What better day of the year to reassess that possibly drunken decision to commemorate your love for Psy‘s “Gangnam Style” with a little skin art?
So whether you’re thinking about losing your tramp stamp from the early aughts, decided that YOLO face tattoo you got in Bangkok wasn’t a swell career decision or broke up with a romantic partner, today’s your day.
Incidentally, August 14 was apparently dubbed as National Tattoo Removal Day because it’s 30 days after National Tattoo Day, and 30 days is long enough for you to have some regrets; it is also the minimum amount of time you need a tattoo to “set” before laser removal can do its thing.
You’ll be joining the ranks of former body art collectors like Pete Davidson, Khloé Kardashian, Megan Fox, Angelina Jolie and Mark Wahlberg,who have all had their tattoos either removed completely or modified with repeated, painful laser removal sessions.
