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.

Hello, I've decided to write and join the community of tattoo remorsers as I am definitely one.
I got this tattoo back in August 2014, thinking that it was what I really wanted. I originally wanted to get a foot tattoo but decided (like an idiot) that healing would conflict with a wedding I was going to be in the week of. Without thinking it through like I had my foot tattoo idea, I decided to go through with it (against my Mom's advice to think more on it and wait). As soon as the artist was done with it, I knew it was a mistake. I always said that if I was going to get a tattoo that was noticeable, I would get something small. I did not realize just how big it was going to turn out until the artist was done with it. I had wanted something really small but the artist said that they couldn't do the watercolor detail. Right then and there, I should have said, "actually I'm going to wait and think about it more" but instead I figured, I was there; might as well get it done. Biggest mistake.
When I got home, I was a mess. I called my Mom crying (which I don't do) and my poor husband had tried to console me. For the whole week after, I was an emotional wreck. One moment I was fine because the tattoo was something meaningful to me and then the next moment I was hating myself for making such a big mistake. And now I'm stuck with it.
Months later, I tend to forget about it. Although it's kind of hard not noticing this big colorful thing on my wrist. I'm okay now, but I know that I want to get it removed. I'm fully prepared for the long process and know it won't happen overnight, but I'm okay in the mean time which is good. I just found out last month that my husband and I are pregnant (we are super excited!), thus making it impossible to start the removal process anytime soon. But eventually, I will have this thing off of me and I will look back at it as a lesson to think more carefully before I make any kind of permanent decision.
In the mean time, I will let the meaning behind this cross outweigh the bad decision and let it serve as a daily reminder that my true colors are in Jesus Christ.
Thanks for reading and hope to update with the removal process after our baby is born and off of breast milk!
