I think that's a bit to general. Not all tattoos are icky, and not all clean skin is a turn on. There are tatoos that really can look beautiful, it depends on the design, the place and who wears them. I can imagine that some people have tattoos for the wrong reason, like pressure from the wrong people for example. Or that they wanted a nice one, but the guy doing the tattoo messed it up.

I don't know why Danielle wants to remove them, but that is her decision. And there can be a very good reson for doing so. But what's true for her, doesn't have to be true for everybody. I have two tattoos as well, and to be honest I regret one of those two. But I chose to keep it anyway. To have it removed for me would feel like erasing the proof that I made a mistake. And there is no need for that, I'm only human, and making a mistake every once in a while is normal. That tattoo actually reminds me of that.

Wow...that's intense...but very true if you think about it.

But for me it can be very different. My tattoos are on my arms, I can just put a shirt over them. Yours are on a much more private area, so I can image that that's way different. And as said before, I don't know why you took them in the first place, and why you wish to have them removed now. But both these reasons forever effect the feeling you have about them.

I have two tattoos. I have the Ferrari-horse on my left arm, and the Members of Mayday logo on my right arm. I am a Ferrari-lover, and probably always will be. So that tattoo is fine by me. The Members of Mayday logo was my first one. I knew I wanted a tattoo, but couldn't think of a design. So I just took the logo of the band who's music I listened to in that period of time... Now that band no longer makes music I like, so a part of the feeling I have with it is gone. I still like the design itself though....

A few years ago in Holland it was a trend to have characters from Loony Tunes as a tattoo. Many girls got drunk in the weekend, and woke up with tweety or Taz somewhere on their body. Those kind of non-thought tattoos can haunt you for life, as well as tattoos people took because their partner insisted on it... Those are the wrong reasons if you ask me.

Danielle,
First off, I am a new fan of yours and I have to say, you are gorgeous! I am a big fan of the natural look, minimul makeup, no piercings, and well, you get the idea and as far as I have seen, you have got that look down! You are one of the most beautiful creatures I have ever seen. In fact, I have not seen very many pictures of you and am not a member of your site but I still feel I can honestly say it. And I am not just talking your body, as gorgeous as it is. You have one of the most naturally gorgeous faces too, and those beautiful eyes of yours. Makes me wish I was 13 yrs younger and living in Arizona!
As far as your tatoo removal, I think it is great but I think the one I believe I saw on your back is actually very nice. The one on you lower abdomin I am glad to see go. And reading your bio page, you have removed piercing as well which I can't thank you enough as, in my opinion, detracts greatly from any womans beauty.
I wish you much luck with the removal process and any future endevours you pursue.

Sincerely,
Chris

Honestly I'm still trying to find a doctor/surgeon that can do tattoo excision. Hopefully I can find one next month, so that I can do the surgery during my Spring Break.

Just be careful! I'd imagine that type of procedure could leave you with bad scarring if done incorrectly. Do you plan to have both removed in this way or just the one on your belly? Is it similar to dermabrasion?

Well I ended up talking to my tattoo removal technician about it and she pretty much said that nobody does it anymore. I guess that you are red for about a year afterwards when you get it done. So it looks like I will be doing the laser tattoo removal. I know this sounds horrible but I'm thinking about asking my doctor for a prescription of Vicodin or something similar because getting the tattoo on my back lasered is painful.

That sounds horrible and very painful. The procedure must require a sharp knife to peel off several layers of skin - kind of like peeling an apple or orange. I wish you the best and hope there isn't any scarring.

Hi Danielle,
I am sure you have already done some research into this process but this might be helpful and not just to you but anyone else here looking into this procedure. Regardless of what any of us say, do what you think is best. No matter what, you are the one who needs to please yourself and do not let anone else sway your mind into doing something you do not want to do.
