Impact of Tattoo Removal on Mental Health | Removery
Tattoos are one of the best ways to express yourself. They are unique pieces of art that allow us to display what matters most in our lives, permanently. Tattoos can enhance our confidence and give us a true connection to our inner-self – an ideology that’s often referred to as “the power of tattoos.”
Evolving throughout your life is unavoidable, and the changes that come from it are usually a good thing. However, that growth can sometimes leave us feeling dissatisfied with the tattoos we once loved. You may no longer identify with that tattoo you got at 19, or even want to be tattooed at all anymore. With advanced technology, tattoos no longer have to be permanent; giving people the chance to reclaim their bodies if their body art doesn’t suit them anymore.
As tattoo removal has gained popularity, new discoveries have been made about its positive impact on people – specifically how it can help support mental health.
Boosts Confidence & Self-Love
Undesirable tattoos may leave us feeling self-conscious and insecure, which can negatively impact our body image and self-esteem. By removing your tattoo(s), you can reignite/boost/increase your self-love and confidence that was previously lost – and be able to feel comfortable in your own skin again.
Supports Personal Growth
As we navigate life, our values, interests, and beliefs can evolve drastically – leaving us with tattoos that don’t reflect who we are now. Removing a tattoo that represents a past version of yourself can be extremely liberating, as you can reconnect your external appearance with who you are inside.
Helps You to Live in the Now
Tattoos can serve as a physical reminder of things we wish to forget, making it difficult to move on mentally and emotionally. An ex’s name, previous beliefs or affiliations, anything that could represent a previous life that you don’t live today. Tattoo removal can truly help you let go of painful or traumatic times, so you can give yourself a fresh start.
Restores Your Sense of Agency
The “permanent” nature of tattoos can intimidate people, making them feel powerless over their body or appearance. With the help of tattoo removal, you can take the permanence out of ink – and regain control over your appearance, the way you see fit.
Tattoo removal is a sensitive process, often causing us to face our vulnerabilities. Removery is committed to providing a safe, non-judgmental space for clients – where they can feel encouraged and supported as they navigate what can be an emotionally difficult time.
