Repentance: all of us, sooner or later, experience this feeling. We regret having done, or not having done, something and with difficulty we try to find a remedy - if possible. But what if a remedy is not really possible? These 16 people have experienced what it means to put your faith in a tattoo artist not knowing that they weren't very skillful, then regretting the final result. They wmay have wanted a forest, a lion, the face of a loved one, a flower and what they found imprinted on their skin definitely didn't meet their expectations. What to do about such a thing? Accept it was bad luck, try to fix it or say goodbye to the tattoo artist for good?

Removing a tattoo is now possible, even if when the tattoo covers a large area and the task becomes really difficult. What have these customers done? Did they try a tattoo fix by relying on more competent hands or have they learned to live with the horrible results?
