Everyone has different meanings behind their tattoos and even the most meaningful tattoos can be regretted later in life.  Here are some of the most popular types of tattoos that are commonly removed.

  1. Names.  Tattoos of names are the most popular tattoo people get removed.  When people think they are madly in love, some people decide to get their significant other’s name tattooed on their body.  After they break up, they regret getting the tattoo and want it removed as soon as possible so they are no longer reminded of the person.  It also very embarrassing for them to be seen with that tattoo after the couple has broken up.
  2. Foreign Symbols and Words.  These tattoos have been a huge trend for the last few years.  Almost everyone knows someone with one of these tattoos, whether it be a Chinese symbol or a word or phrase in a different language.  Most people will look up the characters and spelling on the internet, get them tattooed, and later find out their tattoo does not actually mean what they thought it did.  Who wouldn’t want to get a tattoo removed after this?
  3. Zodiac Signs.  Some people go through a phase in their life where they rely on their zodiac sign to tell them everything about themselves.  They read their horoscope daily to know what kind of a day they are going to have.  People love zodiac signs and astrology so much, some decide to get their sign tattooed on them.  Years later, many people have moved on from this phase of their life and want the tattoo removed.  In a few cases, some have even gotten their zodiac sign wrong.
  4. Misspelled Words.  Some people are so eager to get their tattoo, they don’t bother to check the tattoo before getting it done.  This can lead to unwanted mistakes permanently inked into your body.  After realizing their tattoo is misspelled, people want it removed right away to avoid the embarrassment that comes with an incorrectly spelled tattoo.
