Example: I know a number of girls who've sought ways to remove tattoos they once loved but later didn't love so much. People change. What may have been quirky and edgy at age 18 may not be at age 38, or even 28. You can stop wearing something, you can take out a piercing, and you can change your hairstyle, but you can't stop showing a tattoo unless you go through the pain and expense to have it removed.
