Career changes, personal growth, relationship changes, or simply evolving tastes can make existing tattoos feel inappropriate or unwanted. Visible tattoos may limit job opportunities in certain professions, affect how others perceive you, or create anxiety in professional and social situations where you feel the need to cover them constantly.

Traditional tattoo removal methods like dermabrasion, acid treatments, or surgical excision can be painful, expensive, and often result in significant scarring that may be worse than the original tattoo. Many people resign themselves to living with unwanted tattoos because they believe removal is too difficult, painful, or expensive to pursue.
