Today the art of tattooing is developed like never before. Tattoo parlors are open in almost all major cities. Any adult who is willing to pay for this procedure can get his own wearable pattern. Ideally, a tattoo should be an organic addition to the image and please its owner until the end of his days. But in practice, there are often unsuccessful tattoos, which not only do not bring pleasant emotions, but can also seriously ruin the life of their owner.
What is "Partak"?
It is worth noting that bad tattoos can be divided into two categories:
1) poorly executed;
2) ugly or just plain boring.
In the first case, we are talking about "partaks" - this is how unsuccessful tattoos are called in their jargon by masters and everyone who is fond of the art of applying wearable images. This term is suitable for all ugly tattoos, when the intended picture looks distorted, and sometimes frankly not aesthetic. Where do "partaks" come from? There are several options: insufficient qualifications or inexperience of the master,use of low-quality equipment and paints, improper skin care during the healing period. People who are tired of the image on their body often want to reduce a tattoo. It is for this reason that psychologists advise thinking three times (or better, within a few months): do you really want to wear the chosen image for the rest of your life?
"Cover up": covering boring tattoos
So, what to do if you have a bad tattoo and want to get rid of it? You should start with a visit to a good tattoo parlor. One of the simplest correction options is “cover up” (“new work on top of the old one”). It's about covering up an existing tattoo with a new one. If your unsuccessful tattoos just don't please you a little, you can try to agree on making minor changes to the drawing. However, few masters like to finish other people's drawings, and it is quite possible that you will have to spend some time looking for a specialist who will agree to help.
Can a tattoo be removed?
Tattoo removal is a procedure for which about 30 percent of tattoo owners sign up. It is really possible to completely remove the pigment from the skin. Today there are two options: laser and surgical removal. In the first case, unsuccessful tattoos are literally burned out of the layers of the skin using a special medical device with a laser. Surgical removal is an outdated method that involves cutting out entire layers of skin along with the tattoo. It is worth noting that with any tattoo removalpossible complications. Moreover, tattoo removal is not a cheap procedure, and after its implementation, most likely, scars will remain.
