In Houston, Texas, a remarkable story of transformation and self-discovery is shared by Removery client, Violet. An impulsive decision at 13 years old left her with two tattoos that strained her relationship with herself and her family for decades.
After years of emotional anguish and hiding her ink, Violet started the tattoo removal process to leave her difficult past behind.
Like many people, Violet’s tattoo journey started during her early teenage years at just 13 years old. She was a self-proclaimed rebel, spending plenty of time partying and skipping school during the week.
When a close friend started doing DIY stick and poke tattoos, Violet decided to visit his apartment with a group of friends to party and get some ink.
Through a combination of youthful influence, intrigue, and alcohol, the friend group had tattoos etched into their skin without any concern of the consequences.
“I [got tattooed] for fun. We were young, fearless, and living in the moment. The tattoos were a symbol of our teenage rebellion.”
That day, Violet left her friend’s apartment with a stick and poke tattoo on each wrist: the letter “G” and a simplistic writing of her own name.
As years progressed, Violet felt smothered by the existence of her tattoos – and how visible they were. “I hid them,” she admits. “I wore cardigans every day, stacked jewelry to cover them, and even used Band-Aids to conceal them.”
The tattoos did not accurately represent the woman she had become; but more importantly, they caused ongoing tension between Violet and her mother. “It was exhausting,” she says, “I couldn’t bear to see the disappointment in my mom’s eyes.”
Every day, Violet longed for the opportunity to remove her tattoos and finally free herself from her troubled past.
“I was tired of hiding and pretending to be someone I wasn’t. I wanted to erase that part of my life and start fresh.”
Stick and poke tattoo removal can be unpredictable, especially if the tattoos are done by an inexperienced person at home. Oftentimes, DIY stick and poke tattoos have deeper ink depths and are done with ink that is not intended for tattooing, nor safe for the body.
So, it was crucial to find the right tattoo removal provider for the process. Violet wanted to be confident in her decision before starting treatment anywhere to ensure everything was done right.
Through online research, Violet found Removery and immediately noticed their glowing reviews that detailed advanced technology, knowledgeable professionals, and unmatched tattoo removal results.
When she gave Removery a call, it was a no-brainer to begin the laser tattoo removal process there. “Their professionalism, clean facilities, and friendly staff put me at ease. It was the beginning of a life-changing experience.”
While the removal itself posed some physical discomfort, Violet felt comfortable undergoing every treatment at Removery.
“The girls [here] were amazing. They prepped me, answered my questions, and even lightened the mood with humor. It made the journey feel less daunting.”
As her tattoos faded, Violet was brought closer to her mother and pushed farther away from the memories that plagued their relationship for years.
“I asked my mom if getting the tattoos removed changed how she viewed me or our relationship back then. She smiled and said, ‘They aren’t visible to me anymore.’”
Violet’s mother always loved her, with and without her tattoos. However, the tattoo removal process allowed them to fully step away from the anguish caused by her teenage years and live happily in the present together.
Today, Violet is proudly showcasing her tattoo-free skin and the official beginning of her next chapter. Those cardigans and bulky jewelry that were once needed to conceal her past are a distant memory now, just like her stick and poke tattoos.
“This process allowed me to shed the weight of my past. It’s like turning the page to a new chapter in my life, one where I’m not defined by my rebellious youth. I’m adulting, and I’m excited for what the future holds.”
Through tattoo removal, everyone can experience the power of change, self-acceptance, and the beauty of reconnection – just like Violet. The entire process serves as a reminder that no matter what our past looks like, we have the strength to shape our future.
