Tattoo Removal

No matter how cool the cool tattoo design seemed like on the day first got inked, there will be moments when you regret your tattoo. Although all cool tattoo designs fade over the years, they never completely go away. You may have to look into cool tattoo design removal in order to get employment or because you changed your ideologies. Clearly, you will need to get that swastika tattoo removed if you ever run for office.

Makeup

If you still are fond of your cool tattoo design, then there are ways of hiding your secret love. You can wear dark colored clothes to cover up cool tattoo designs on your limbs. You'll need dark clothes because the ink may be seen faintly through light colored clothing. You can also use makeup to cover up cool tattoo designs on any skin areas where you can't use clothing to cover it up.

Lasers

If you have decided that your star tattoo is no longer shining brightly in your eyes, there are more permanent ways of getting it off of your skin. One of these ways is through the use of laser surgery. These low level lasers work in much the same way as scar removal surgeries work. They try and scrub your skin clean. They are usually available at cosmetic surgery clinics.

However, there are a lot of drawbacks to laser surgery, unless your not-so-cool tattoo design is small and relatively uncomplicated. If you are trying to get rid of a large tattoo, you are going to need many expensive sessions under the laser. Your skin afterwards will be irritated or downright painful, because you will be getting low level burns.

Creams And Lotions

There are creams and lotions advertised that will help make your less-than-cool tattoo design less noticeable. They are sometimes called "fade-away creams". This is a kind of makeup, much in the same way that cellulite creams are makeup. They can make your tattoo less obvious and seemingly to fade, but they do not remove the tattoo entirely. However, creams are a lot less painful than surgery.

Getting Another Tattoo

What many people with a bad tattoo prefer to do is get another, far more cool tattoo design placed right overtop of the old, lame tattoo. This is not only less expensive than surgery, but also makes you feel as if you are not completely bowing to conformity. Tattoo artists are used to turning bad tattoos into cool tattoo designs. It's one of the reasons they are in business.
