Regretting tattoos

    This story from the Washington Post got me thinking about it:

    ‘Sometimes people change’: Maryland shop covers racist tattoos for free

    Seems like this movement is gathering some steam, with a gofundme started to compensate any tattoo artists who perform the free coverups.

    I don't have any racist tattoos, but I do have one that I later had covered up.

    A friend of mine had three women's names tattooed on his arm at one time. He got a fourth one covered up, but stopped bothering with ensuing girlfriends.

    There is a program in LA run by a Catholic priest that includes tattoo removals. It's one part of job training and education for former gang members. The program runs a bakery manned by former gang members. I think it is Homeboy Industries.

    It is Homeboy Industries. I've read quite a bit about that organization and follow it on the Facebooks, and it does really, really good work.

    Can they do a free coverup on left-breast tatts which have drooped to somewhere around the left hip?

    "Mom" is the only woman's name I have tattooed on me.

    How in the hell after adding on girlfriends name and it not working out does adding subsequent ones seem like a good idea?

    He's my friend, but he's undoubtedly a moron.

    Can they help with my regret that I never asked out Barb Ventrini in college?

    I have two and regret neither. Two more to go.

    I've thought about getting one. Ankle or shoulder. Something small.
    And then each time I think more and more seriously about it, I suddenly remember that I am a hideous clit when it comes to needles.
