I don't want to encourage anyone to get a tattoo that is under 18 without parent's permission.      With that being out of the way, I am 28 years old and the tattoo I got when I was 15 is still in good shape. There are factors that will determine how a tattoo ages: location of tattoo, type of ink and color used, how deep the ink was placed, what kind of needles were used, what type of gun was used, how you cared for the tattoo while it healed, and how you care for the tattoo over the years.      In my opinion the 3 most important things for a good, long-lasting tattoo are finding a good, reputable tattoo artist that knows what they are doing, taking excellent care of the tattoo while it heals, and putting on sunblock when you're out in the sun.      To heal a tattoo use A&D ointment only; don't use anything like Neosporin (it will pull the ink out as it heals). Also, keep the tattoo protected while healing and don't pick off the scabs or let it get rubbed by clothing. I wrap my tattoos in plastic wrap for the first 3 nights so they are protected while I sleep. During the day I wear a gauze bandage lightly taped over the tattoo.      When going in the sun ALWAYS put on SPF 50 sunblock or higher. Nothing fades a tattoo faster than the sun. You have to do this for the life of the tattoo.      Some tips for choosing your first tattoo: Once you settle on a design and an artist you like, have the artist give you the stencil of the piece. Take that stencil home and put it up on the wall somewhere where you will see it all the time. After 2 weeks if you still like the design, get it tattooed.      Otherwise, note down what you want changed and take it back to the artist to have it redesigned. Then repeat the process. This way you're sure to end up with a design you like. Most tattoo artists that are worth your time will let you do this. If not, don't get tattooed by them.      Good luck! And don't forget to get permission! Hi DB,

As much as I like it, I'm slowly starting to think I got it in the wrong area. Would you suggest waiting a while to look into laser removal? Or can you get it removed as soon as it heals? Also, if it is fresh will it be harder to remove? Hi, I just got a tattoo on my ankle. As much as I like it, I’m slowly starting to think I got it in the wrong area.

I have an appt to get a tattoo removed from my inner wrist ina few weeks. The derm. gave me a topical numbing cream and everything. The tattoo is a small 1 x 1 inch cross. I am terrifed after reading stories on the "horrible pain" of this laser thing. They will have the cooling air on top of the numbing cream- is it as bad as getting the tattoo? Getting it did hurt, but it was very tolerable for me and only really hurt bad in a few places. It was over very quickly though, so it was okay. Can you try and describe how it will be for me? And any other advice you can give me would be very well received!! - Thanks!! -Amber A. Hi!

I read your whole article and it was very descriptive. I'm planning on getting a new tattoo removed. I do regret it only because I did it on a whim. I didn't realize the "forever" part. I actually love the design of the tattoo, just not the placement on my inner wrist. I look at it everyday and don't feel so great about it. Like you said, I'd rather have it removed even if it cost way more than the tattoo, than to stare at it and have it make me unhappy. But, I was wondering how long you waited for your tattoo to completely heal before going in for removal treatments. I'm very interested in it and I have already been looking up places. Thanks so much! Hey!

It really helps. I actually got a tattoo over a year ago that I absolutely love and would never get rid of, and I got a second one literally 2 days ago and already regret it and wish I would have thought it over better. The only bad part is that apparently I have to wait a year until I can start the removal process. Hey thanks for this article. It really helps.

I am thinking about having a tattoo removed or even just faded. I still love tattoos as well, and had the misfortune to also alter a tattoo I loved before. the experience with my artist was less than enjoyable and my feelings have really changed about the piece. I was wondering do you know if you can tattoo over skin that has broken down ink and flushed it out? Mostly I would just love to have you contact me so i may ask some more candid questions. Thanks Hi Matt,

I like what you have to say about your process and I like how you've set up your page. I'm starting a blog to document my tattoo removal but mine is a bit more extreme than yours. I wish mine was as surface as yours but unfortunately the artist used a longer set of needles for my outline that really got it in good. I wanted to set up something with pics and dialog that presented this process in an unjudgemental light. The reasons for the removal are not important but the acceptance that we all make mistakes and damn, do we pay for them down the road! Check out my page and thanks again for what you've set up here. I'm sure it'll help a lot of folks when deciding to go down the laser path. http://mytattooremoval.blogspot.com/ Hi.

I am so happy I stumbled upon your personal story. You did a fantastic job!! I got a tattoo only 6 days ago, I got drunk last saturday night went into a tattoo place, kind of told the guy what I wanted but didn't give him any specifics, I ended up with a tattoo about 5 times bigger than I wanted, and not at all done how I wanted it, but that is MY fault not his. Needless to say I cried the entire next day. Then I got busy and did some research on getting it removed. I agree totally with the Q switch laser, it is supposed to be the best. I have not decided yet where I am getting it done, I am still researching that part. But, I feel SO much better after having read your story. Thank You very much!! Wish me luck!!! Hi!

Ok so I planned my tattoo and printed out pics and pretty much came up with the whole placement and EVERYTHING.. I am a 31 year old mother of two and a step child. I feel I make pretty good choices until this. I have a goverment job and my bosses ask that I cover my tattoo. Keep in mind that I live in Arizona where the summers get up to a whoppin 114 (oh did I mention I have a rosery tattoo wrapped around my upper arm with my kids names) which means NO TANK TOPS... I know not such a great idea. Which brought me to your VERY helpful page. I was reading in a previous post that Neosporin will draw the ink out as it heals? Now considering I want to get it removed isn't that a "good thing". Also, do you know how long b-4 I can look into laser removal? Just an idea would be helpful. Again thanks for taking the time to do the research and to write this blog. Hi, this is VERY helpful and by far the most informative I have found on the web..

I got the tattoo done at a hospital, pretty new at it too. My skin got blistery and scabby, pussing, and oozing alot after the second time. EW! But I’m bruised pretty good too. It itches like something fierce!!! Is that normal??
