The Brutal Cost and Painful Reality of Tattoo Regret
Update: 2025-12-10
Description
Tattoo regret is a widespread and painful reality, affecting 78% of those inked—a fact underscored by the viral story of tattoo artist Sydney Mulvaney, whose impulsive "Zombie Miley Cyrus" portrait became a major regret.
This remorse is often linked to designs planned for less than a few weeks, proving the critical need to "sleep on it."
When the ink fades out of favor, the cost and commitment of removal set in: the laser process is notoriously painful, frequently described as feeling like "a rubber band being snapped on your skin with hot bacon grease," and requires 8 to 12 sessions or more.
With treatments starting around $100 per session, the ultimate lesson is that removing body art is just as serious, expensive, and time-consuming as the decision to get it in the first place.
