How it works
- Our highly-trained Review Moderation team evaluates all reviews before they're published to ensure they're written by people like you and not a member of a doctor's office.
- This multi-step process takes up to 24 hours from review submission to publication.
- Doctors can't pay to have reviews removed or hidden.
- Reviews are only removed at the reviewer's request or if they violate our Terms of Service.
If you have questions or believe we should re-evaluate a published review, let us know.

Anyone willing to be my go-to for tattoo anxiety?
I really, really would appreciate someone to talk to who knows who I'm going through and would talk to me on the days that aren't as comfortable as others. If anyone would be willing, I would so thoroughly appreciate it. Texting, facebook friends, anything. I just feel like I need someone to talk to who understands.
Off and on Anxiety
How do you guys deal with anxiety over your tattoos? Sometimes it just washes over me, especially at night. I feel doomed, trapped.
I've always wanted tattoos since I was so young....
I've always wanted tattoos since I was so young. I'm 18, and I got a tattoo on my upper arm of a shark's jaws a couple months ago and I'm really having a hard time with it. The first month was awful, I cried and cried and I was just a disaster about it. It was hard for me to even work. I didn't think for a long time about what I wanted. I have four small stick 'n' poke tattoos that I adore. My artist did a fantastic job, but I'm still left feeling like this. For the past couple weeks i've felt okay, but it's returned now and it's just a reoccuring thought. I feel like I'm less pretty, I'm terrified of the permanence, and I'm terrified that tattoo removal will leave me with an even worse looking area. The artist really did do a good job, I don't know why I feel so horrible about it. I'm only 18, and i'm terrified to tell my parents how I feel. I don't have money for tattoo removal, but I have definitely considered it for the future. How the hell should I deal with it in the mean time? I have really bad anxiety in general, is it possible that this is just coming from my anxiety?
