The person who works for me hates her tattoo. Is there any way to get rid of it that is not so expensive?

1. Laser removal seems the best, from my quick search. Home remedies

do not appear to work. Your employee should consult their health care provider or a dermatologist.

2. Depending on where one lives, and perhaps on the tattoo, there MAY be some help available.

I have seen various charities and even police/probation departments offering free or low cost tattoo removal treatments. Some of those are aimed at gang and hate tattoos, but some are aimed at any tattoos (i.e. regardless of meaning or location or reason).

I would try searching for tattoo removal programs (in the nearest large city if you are rural or suburban) nor just tattoo removal service providers.

3. Laser tattoo removal is very painful.

9. Sorry but just read this. Austin might be the nearest place to look. Thanks for the info.

4. Coverup Tattoos

Given laser removal is expensive and painful, many folks go with coverup tattoos of some kind. Lots of people are sporting black sleeves these days; but there are decorative tats that simply do a good job of hiding what's underneath.

And ... I have no clue, but I'm going to predict that cheaper/less-painful tattoo removal will be an ongoing area of research for the next many years as people grow tired of their younger ink choices.

7. Thank you for the info.

8. Sure hope so.

5. A possible option

If I had a friend whose tattoo was negatively impacting them, that seems to me a good use of the go-fund-me sorts of chip-in contribution sites. Depending on your work relationship boundaries, asking the tattooed person if friends can chip in might be better coming from another coworker. But it's worth considering, if expense is the main consideration.

6. Thank you. I will give her that info.

11. I thank you so very much for taking the time to respond. Her tatoot does not bother me. It is her that hates it and

wants it gone. To her it is a represents a hateful time of her life and she wants it gone.

10. Reminds me of the Jimmy Buffett song:

Permanent Reminder Of A Temporary Feeling

I have a theory. It's not GenX or Y or Z or whatever. What we have is Gen Tattoo these days.
(I'm not against tattoos. Just don't want one.)

[Verse 1]
She was no marine back from the Philippines
She was their pride and joy, their incarnation
Her parents viewed the chief with shock and disbelief
Looking for some other explanation

[Verse 2]
The Indian on her back was poised for an attack
She said a tattoo is a badge of validation
But the truth of the matter is far more revealing
It's a permanent reminder of a temporary feeling

[Chorus 1]
Permanent reminder of a temporary feeling
Amnesiac episodes that never go away
It's no complex memento, it's not a subtle revealing
Just a permanent reminder of a temporary feeling

[Verse 3]
Vegas in the rain, drunk on cheap champagne
He hears out of tune synthesized chapel bells painfully ringing
Where's his limo ride, who's this foreign bride?
Is that really Elvis spinning around the ceiling?

[Chorus 2]
Permanent reminder of a temporary feeling
Forgotten fabrications in the chapels of love
What's this ring on his finger, why is he kneeling?
She's just a permanent reminder of a temporary feeling

Chromosomes and genes spawn these fateful scenes
Evolution can be mean, there's no dumbass vaccine
Blame your DNA, you're a victim of your fate
It's human nature to miscalculate

[Verse 4]
To make up for the fight, they go out for the night
Sex, drugs, and rock n roll seem like the easiest answer
But a short nine months later, there's no way of concealing
That permanent reminder of a temporary feeling

[Chorus 3]
Permanent reminder of a temporary feeling
Amnesiac episodes that never go away
Complex mementos, not subtle revealings
Just a permanent reminder of a temporary feeling

[Refrain]
Permanent reminder of a temporary feeling
Permanent reminder of a temporary feeling
