The thing that really frustrates me about the lady who regrets her tattoos is how condescending she is when she she says she used to like spooky stuff but now she has real problems… like the two aren’t mutually exclusive. Like spooky stuff doesn’t mean you’re a child and it certainly doesn’t mean you don’t have real “grown up” problems. Like I have no problem with her sharing her story and talking about the fact that she has regrets. That’s totally fine. But I feel like she came off so rude and condescending and that really bothers me.

I also agree, I'm heavily tattooed. Comparable to them. I have mostly spooky black work. Mixed with my urban and kawaii aesthetic. I'm in my 30s.no regrets. Give me more spoookkkkkkyyyyyyyyyy. I also wear veryyyyyy girly clothes. Just like snitchery, fairy core, Barbie core, other girly aesthetics dep on mood.. I feel far more feminine with my tattoos and clothing. I do get that it's exhausted sometimes dealing with ppl, whether they look or comment, positive or negative. But this, at the end of the day, is all purely subjective. I just could never see myself lasering off a tattoo.. I would do a cover up if it was offensive or I really couldn't stand it. I feel like these videos, albeit with good intentions, really urk and just annoy me. Laser is skin damage, literally, and not something I would do to my skin. I'd rather scar it with ink lmao 🤣

Not everyone’s definition of femme is the same so not everyone is gonna feel their most feminine with certain tattoos. I think it’s also important to say that sometimes people get certain tattoos to fit in to an aesthetic. And that to me is where the problem lies, if you get a tattoo on a whim or without proper thought put into it, then you have a higher chance of regretting it. For me I have started feeling weird about some of my tattoos not because of my tattoos themselves but because of the person I was when I got them doesn’t align with me now. Then I remember I got them because they make me happy and I feel good about them again. I think it is equally parts mindset and getting them because you really want them not simply because they fit with current fashion trends.

Just because you regret a tattoo when you are 36, doesn't mean that you aren't gonna love it again when you are 46. You don't stop growing as a person when you are in your 30's. Your mind and opinions are gonna keep on changing the older you get

But after getting the piece, which is healing beautifully, and seeing the reaction from both my old band director and my current professor, as well as grinning uncontrollably when I see it in the mirror almost 5 months later, I know I will never regret it. My philosophy isn't 'only get something you'll like forever', your interests change, so if you love something now, get it! Even if you fall out of love with it, you can look at it and think 'hey, look how I've grown and changed as a person, this tattoo that is kind of meh now is something I used to adore, it's part of who I am' and I think it's beautiful.

Here's my tattoo regret story. When I was young I was a severe people pleaser. My mum doesn't like blackwork so I got all my tattoos in full colour most of them were pinterest tattoos because I was young and stupid. Now I'm older and I've had alot of therapy i get tattoos for me that I love, regardless of whether my family like them or not, but I still very much regret those early ones. I plan on getting laser on my leg to lighten things up and then get a blast over. And I'm genuinely so excited to look and my blast over and know how much I've grown as a person and in my love for tattoos.

The person who regrets their tattoos is so rubbing me the wrong way with the whole "I used to be into spooky stuff and now i have adult problems" like you cant do both? I've always been into spooky stuff and now I am a historian specializing in witchcraft and I live in Salem, MA. And, believe me, I have MANY adult problems (and a slew of mental illnesses 😂)

22:34 that's why my mom, even if she doesn't like my tattoos, was not surprised when I got tattooed. I spent my childhood drawing on myself with everything

Honestly find it a bit upsetting how quickly people in the comments here are jumping to conclusions on the tattoo-regret tiktok...the creator in question was only detailing her own experiences, and never said that everyone else had to feel the same way about their tattoos. She has also made a bunch of other videos, detailing her pretty personal reasons for regretting her tattoos, none of which have to do with just "not thinking long enough about it". I mean, even in that tiktok alone she already mentioned how those tattoos are reflective of a time where she was mentally not doing well - and personally, i can totally get that! I've been through years of therapy, and i am not the same person anymore; a lot of what I thought used to define me as a person turned out to be trauma symptoms. My choice in tattoos back then, no matter how long i would've thought about it, and no matter how good of an artist i chose, would have for sure also been influenced a whole lot by trauma. And I can understand having regrets in such a situation. I get the concern that (more conservative) people are gonna take a video like this as proof for the "you're gonna regret it when you're older" narrative, like for sure that is gonna happen, and it sucks because i think especially as women we face more criticism on being tattooed and have to defend ourselves more often on why we made those choices for our bodies. But that can't mean that we shouldn't hold space and compassion for stories like that; in my opinion at least.

I love your reaction at 18:20 because it was exactly like mine when I saw this Tik Tok. I personally think only people who don't think twice before getting tattooed or people who go with trends will end up regretting them later.

As an Australian I was laughing when you showed that itty bitty long legs and got so scared from it. Laughed even harder when you called yourself out, its like you read my mind!!

Thank you for the comment on mentioning colour to your artist; as a POC who gets mostly brown and red, it can make a difference in how it lasts on your skin, too. I've never had an artist say "no, I don't DO that," but I have had a lot of artists adjust designs once they know the colour combo. At the end of the day you always want to make sure the artist has the best chance of doing their best work; they're at peak and you're going to be happier with the work. (Plus, it's not that hard to just not be a taint canker.)

I actually didn't start getting tattooed until my thirties, mainly for financial reasons, but ooh, I'm super friggin glad I didn't have the money to get the tattoos I wanted at 18/20/23. Seriously, my tastes have changed a lot. (I'm pretty sure I know who I am now.) 😂

The laser videos are admittedly fun and a bit satisfying. I want to see someone reverse the laser videos so it looks like the tattoos are magically appearing 😂

I think one part of developing empathy, is being able to imagine yourself as an older, possibly very different version of yourself. Some people never really do develop that self-reflection. Their lives might be a lot less conflicted and complicated, maybe happier. But, until you realize that how you are now might not be the same in the future, you might make permanent decisions that you wish you took more time to think about.

I grew up around heavily tattooed people. I asked them when my tattoos would grow in and often drew all over my body because I wanted to be cool and colorful like them.

The only “tattoo regret” video i even remotely liked was the one from a few years ago by Morgan Joyce. I thought it was really well thought out and measured, and I think her advice to younger people (not to not get tattoos! Just to take your time and find the style you like!) is really good. I always have a bit of hesitation/regret in the aftermath of any tattoos, just while i adjust to myself. But I didn’t start getting tattooed till I was like 30 so I had a better idea of my style and started with placements I could keep private, which I think helped

I feel like the chick who regrets her tattoos has other things she is regretting from being younger. Like tattoos are memories and art, so to regret them I feel is a regret of the past. Which I know so many people have had hard pasts and wishes things were different, but your past led you to your now. I feel for her, but also like there was much better ways to say what she did. There is always a possibility of regretting them, she didn't have to be rude and condescending though.

Since kindergarten I’ve always wanted tattoos. I asked my mom to draw on my legs. The one frequent request was a rose up on the side of my calf. Then last year when I did my rose tattoo in the same spot in the middle of the session it hit me that I’m finally getting the tattoo I’ve been wanting. I’m really grateful even while young my mom let me enjoy what I love. Even after teachers questioned my moms parenting.

LOVE the tough guy tattoos at the beginning! And yeah, that dude totally sounded like Tom Hanks. 🤔 Entertaining as always, Lauren! 😊 P.S. - STILL Jasper? Really? 😂

I appreciate that the girl who was unhappy with the colors of her tattoo made a disclaimer that she was really emotional because she just got the tattoo, and that she still thinks it's beautiful, she just wishes she had listened to the artist. No blame, no childish games, just an open admission of mild regret, and honestly it sounds like she learned from the experience. Good for her :)

What I regret about my tattoos is that I jumped around to new tattoos before I fully finished other ones. I haven’t been tattooed in 10 years because my nerves have become super sensitive and they now hurt super bad getting them and I hate my unfinished pieces and wish I had gotten them finished before moving on to new ones.

For some reason, tattoos are the only part of my life that I don’t overthink.

I understand the concept of feeling like your tattoos are not fitting your “aesthetic” anymore because that is something I struggle with. I have to remind myself we are complex beings with lots of tastes and styles and hobbies and interests and that being pinned down to one “aesthetic” isn’t always as fun as people make it out to be.

something i love about tattoos, that also helps minimize regret, is looking at it as having a piece of your younger self with you forever! im 19 and i have an animal crossing tattoo. i might not play animal crossing anymore in 10, 20 years time but i’ll always be reminded of how happy it made younger me! it’s my comfort game, i have happy memories tied to it, and now i get to carry that around FOREVER, even into my old age, which i find so cool! cherishing a part of my younger self, bc she loved it so i do too!

Oh! The spider you have in your room is a cellar spider (Pholcidae sp.). I had one living above my bookcase for 5 years. Her name was Sally and she basically never left her web. With how long and thin their legs are they prefer to just walk on their webs. The long legs also makes them great at catching and killing other spiders! So if you don't really like spiders they can be a great deterrent from other species that move around a lot.

I have to say, I’ve been watching you for awhile now, and I absolutely love listening to your opinions and thoughts about tattoos. I am upset bc the girl regrets her tats. Admittedly, I was older when I got my very first tat. We lost a son at birth, and I felt very strongly I had to have a tattoo for him, Noah, (and our other 2 children) kind of like “proof” he was here. I have since gotten more tattoos. I feel very strongly, at least for me, that my tattoos are a journey of my life. Milestones, if you will. To the girl who regrets her tats, those are part of what makes you who you are today. Accept them and you and move on from there. Thank you, again for another lovely visit. 👻🍍

I loved powering out my sessions but I took a few bathroom breaks and always asked my tattoo artist was doing. Apart from that we're pushing through! :D

I feel a little sad about Saraovershares (regret lady) because I've followed her for a long time and she's so lovely. And she definetely knows that mental problems are real problems. Obviously she should have stuck to speaking about her own regret and not said that that everyone will regret their tattoos.

I have 9 tattoos so far and only have 1 that I had regret about (but only after I first got it, not so much anymore.) It's the andromeda constellation with flowers in place of most of the stars, with a dotted crescent moon on top. On my ribs. Now first, I gave the artist a sketch of what I wanted. She asked if I wanted her to draw the flowers "better". Now I'm an artist myself but since it was a concept I just sketched over some osmanthus, and since she's a tattoo artist, I told her yes. Later, I realized she redrew one flower and then just copied it for all the others. Also, after the tattoo was done, I realized she made the crescent moon have dashed lines instead of dotted, like I had specified. The linework on the moon was also a little wonky. I was really upset for a while cause I had been really looking forward to it. After about 6 months it healed enough to where it looked a lot better and from a distance you can't really see the issues, but if I think about it for too long it does upset me a little still.

Where I live, years ago, there were literally zero legit tattoo studios. There was only one guy who was doing tattoos in a sketchy place... he wasn't that good but he thought me the basics and then I started by myself... now I own a legit studio!

A lot of artists get in by tattooing at home, tattooing under the legal age, etc. I think it’s part of the process for certain personality types. Like most tattooers just have this don’t gaf mentality and are kinda reckless. But at the same time have this thirst for knowledge about an industry that tries to be as secretive and occult as possible.

My tattoos don’t match my fashion style most days, but I actually don’t mind it lol. It’s a nice reminder of my growth and change. I don’t regret them. Some will, some won’t. It’s the same with many other things like cosmetic surgeries too.

18:23 that shocked, shook-ness look on your face and then the “how dare you”… = priceless ❤ I guess I can understand the whole “unmatching aesthetics” from when you’re younger VS when you’re older but like you’ve said before, regret such is a STRONG word. And if she truly regrets her tattoos, that just sucks and I hope shes able to find a way to love them again. I see heavily tattooed people as a walking work of art, and I’m always curious about the stories behind the tattoos (if there is a story). And hopefully that’s not offensive… and if it is, someone please let me know.

Honestly, I think the reason the "tattoo regret" video rubbed me a certain way was because I heard people tell me the thing she said at the very end of the video before, but this time in regards of career and being paid less and also because It would invalidate my femininity (similar to how she made it sound), meanwhile, I'm around tatted people who are working the career I want with a lot tattoos and are being paid more than the average person in my country and some are still very much so feminine.

Um not going to say people don't regret tattoos when they get older (I regret my first tattoo but I regretted it right away). That said, I'm 32 and getting tattoos I would have LOVED to have at 14 and, clearly, LOVE today and that's why I'm getting them. The only thing I would regret is that when younger I didn't know how to find a good tattoo artist (back in the MySpace area of the internet)

Seeing you react to videos I have tagged you in just absolutely makes my day. Thank you for still making these.

the only tattoo I regret was my first one because I was 18 and did NO research into tattoo styles or artists. unfortunately it's pretty big too. idk if I would've regretted any tattoo I would have gotten at 18 or if it had nothing to do with my age (I waited until 23 to get my next one). my advice to my future kids will definitely be to do a ton of research first if they want to get tattooed, not necessarily to just wait until their older

I understand perfectionism. I’m guilty of that. I wouldn’t of filled in the symbol either, and adding turquoise sounds great. At least the pale blue will fade a bit. And touch ups are always possible. ❤

First of all, did she says she's 36? I'm 30 and she looks 10 years younger than me 😅 Secondly, I understand where she is coming from. Some people don't fully think through their tattoos and they end up regretting them when their aesthetician changes. I get it. I'm not heavily tattooed but I have thought through every single tattoo. The only ones I have thought through were super tiny finger tattoos.

This obsession with curated "aesthetics" and being all "matchy" with a vibe is literally the worst side effect of social media and causes so many mental health issues. Tattoos are a form of visual self expression, much like music is auditory self expression, and it's such a disgusting attitude that we dont allow ourselves, or each other, to express anything if it doesn't feel "aesthetic" enough~~~

I am the type of client that gives almost full creative control to my artists. Once I feel like I communicated my idea completely, I leave everything up to them. I pick an artist because i love their work and I don't like to interfere with the process.

I just have to say that he totally sounded like Tom Hanks!! Also on the topic of Aesthetic effecting people regretting their tattoos is kinda crazy to me because I look at them as a part of who I was in a part of my life as well as I get them because I simply love the art and want it on me forever.

Been in a tattoo mood today and started planning two future tattoos so this is perfect timing! :)

I just hit 40 and while I don't necessarily regret my tattoos, I sometimes regret their placement. My back in particular. I put my first couple of tattoos on my back "just in case" I wound up hating tattoos later on. Now I no longer have that valuable space for bigger, more cohesive tattoos and I'm really bummed about it. I wish I could just cut/paste them to some other part of my body....

Anyone else need a Tshirt that says "THAT IS A BIT OF ME" on it?

ughhh i’ve been waiting for this lauren love you

29:02 I'm also a non-breaker :') I've only had breaks when the artist needs it...and then I usually just sit and stare at the wall, waiting for them to be done xD

Omg, that switchblade is super cute!

Another tiktok reaction video!! I absolutely love these! Thank you for making these ❤️

I’m 40, I’m heavily tattooed and I don’t regret a single one. Do I wish some were a bit different? Maybe, but they all represent me and who I was at the time I got them.

I keep seeing this my tattoos don't match my aesthetic regret and its getting out of hand. It's so directly related to being chronically online and all this fast fashion and changing trends. Tattoos aren't a set aesthetic, you can have tattoos and be feminine, when she said that she doesn't feel feminine I got so angry because my style is very feminine but I'm covered in tattoos. It's this whole narrative again that tattoos arent womenly. 😮‍💨 I mean come on I thought we had gotten past this! Edit: I read up that the lady who regrets her tattoos did her tattoos as self harm which is very sad to hear. Such a shame she felt that way.

Always excited to see your videos love your channel you are amazing lauren love you so much the tattoos tou show are always gorgeous

Wow episode 76 and need to binge another series of yours. I always have said that my tattoos are a story of my life, I live with no regrets of any of my tattoos. If in time I do then I would do much like your blast sleeve. The idea of white and red over black intrigues me too. Thinking about it just don't know where to put it.

My brother and i we got tattoos that match. Its two song titles from our favorite musician. And now this artist is coming for the first time ever to our country! I got tickets for us immediately and after a week it was already sold out.

I’m 36 years old I have been getting tattooed since I was 16 and I don’t regret them some I think well I wouldn’t get this now but I remember thinking about them and getting them and they are memories. I love them all

Aussie here: that sider is a daddy long legs, perfectly harmless. I hope you gave him a name and let him be.

I FREAKING LOVE THESE! LAUREN YOU ARE STUNNING!!!!!

Oh my gosh that guy does sound like Tom hanks 🤣 love these videos!

Dude I absolutely love Wooddy’s designs, he’s amazing!

I completely agree with you about some people getting tattoos because it’s the “in thing”. I am like you, I have wanted to be heavily tattooed since I first saw someone with tattoos. I used to draw on my arms as a kit pretending they were tattoos. I have some pretty bad tattoos and some that have definitely gone out of fashion (like bows) but I still do not regret any of them. I love all of them.

Coming back from a 10K run and sitting down with food and a video from you, yayyy! (And OMG that spider, I'd be freaking out as well 😅)

I planned my tattoos decades in advance and let the artist do what he thought best. Love them all. No plans for more... yet. Lol

The demon with the tentacles to so GORGEOUS!

So close to 100 episodes on this series! 🤧🥹

I have been addicted to watching your videos lately. It is not good for me because it is making me want more and more tattoos lol

I’ll never regret my tattoos, because they’re a reminder of who I was and what I loved or liked when I got them.

When I got tattoo.... The tattoo artist take break, because I never ask. Always one run! My record, 5h straight!!!😂

It's a good day when Lauren posts after a long day. Hello lovely Lauren👋. Hope you are well.

Oh that’s spider’s a bro. Keeping the bugs out of your house in exchange for room and board. It’s also keeping the other spiders away. He’ll keep his distance, he’s just chilling

Got my next appointment, and when my tattooer gave me my date, I'm so excited. This is the first time in 27ish years. I'm getting tattooed on my birthday!

Ahhhh what a great way to celebrate your birthday 🥳

Just something to think about. I've never met anyone heavily american traditional style tattooed with regrets about them. It's always the other styles. I'm also heavily tattooed with American traditional and have got most of them now in my mid 30s. Can't see any regrets in sight

0:50 oh my god I thought that was the back corner of her room at first and not just inside a shelf. That initial perspective made that spider seem HUUUUUUGE! 😅

WOW, great way to wake up at 1pm! I’m excited to watch this! Going back to bed LOL.

As you should 👏🏻

As some ppl here said, the woman who deeply regrets her tatts did them for self-harm reasons. And yes I think it's the baddest reason to get any. Trends come and go tbh. That's why u shouldn't get any for others. Also I think it's kinda hard, to hear that "tattoos don't match my aesthetics anymore", which shouldn't be a thing tbh. (not that u don't like certain styles anymore, that can happen) but normally u get them for yourself. Even if I would get different tats now, I don't mind my first decisions because they kinda reflect my journey as a person.

Hey, all my tattoos are red or/and white linework and script tattoos. I love the way it looks. The funny thing though ppl often times think they are not real because of the colors 🥲 and sometimes people who have tattoos themselves ask those questions, like, dude, it’s the same thing just a different color, seriously? 😅

OMG that's just a long-bodied cellar spider! So harmless. The most harmless spider ever, except to the kinds of spiders you really really don't like, like the aggressive ones or the real dangerous ones. 💚

Omg that’s so cool! Woody.. the first guy is a local artist here where I live. His videos are hilarious

I regret my tattoos and I'm in the process of getting most of them removed, not because they don't match my aesthetic anymore or anything like that, I just got them the instant I turned 18 and kinda got high on the freedom haha and didn't think about them at all. I was very spontaneous, and genuinely didn't think I'd regret them ever. Back then I also really hated my body and thought I'd like my body more with them. I did for a brief moment, but they weren't a fix-all for mental health problems. now, after therapy etc, I've accepted my body, so the tattoos feel like they're just kind of on the way. I just wish I would've waited even a couple of months, or until I was at least 21, would've saved me from some regret lol. I still really love tattoos as an art form, and don't tell anybody what to do. this is just my individual experience. the worst thing is that my mom was right lol, I don't want to admit it 😭😂

The condescending nature of “not doing well mentally” with tattooing, makes me rage. I’m 37 and I LOVE my tattoos. Getting my hands done in a few weeks and my “aesthetic” doesn’t matter wtf!

I can completely relate to the girl wishing she let the tattoo artist choose the colors! I have a giant blue flower with a skull and every time I look at it I think "why did I pick blue?" I'm not an artist, don't let me make these decision lol.

The spider bit gave me shivers

Got my tattoos since I was 26. now I’m 33. Not regretting one! I love them so much. Will never regret them!😂❤

I don't have tatts nor do i want one, your content is just fun to watch 🎉 subbed
