Tattoos on Holiday: Why You Should Avoid Getting a Tattoo Whilst on Holiday

Posted on : July 14, 2015  By : Wellness

As a company who specialises in laser tattoo removal, we have come across many reasons for why people want their tattoos removed. Sometime it’s because they had the name of their ex partner inked onto their skin, or sometimes it’s because they were too young to understand what they wanted, or a lot of the time – it’s because they got it done whilst drunk on holiday or travelling with friends.

People on holiday or travelling often make spontaneous decisions that they wouldn’t make normally or wouldn’t even consider at home. It’s not surprising then that a lot of people later regret getting a tattoo during this period.

Are you considering getting a tattoo when abroad or know someone who has? Here are just some of the reasons why we think it’s a trend that should definitely be avoided.

Can you speak their language?

Did you know that one of the main reasons for people getting a tattoo removed is because it has been misspelt? How do you think this happens? Whilst mistakes can happen anywhere, it’s more likely that a tattoo that has bad spelling has been done whilst in a different country. This is because the language barrier can often restrict you from getting across what you want the tattoo to be or say. It might seem fun getting a quote in a different language, but do you really know what it says?

 Is the place you have chosen safe and clean?

Before getting a tattoo at home, you are likely to look around at your options and then research the place where you want to get it done at. It’s always suggested that you go in and meet the tattoo artist before making any decisions, so that you can discuss exactly what you want.

Unfortunately, this isn’t usually the case when getting a tattoo on holiday or whilst travelling. It’s usually a spur of the moment decision in which you find the nearest tattoo place and get it done. This means that you aren’t considering whether the place is safe, whether it’s clean, or whether you can trust the tattoo artist. A lot of tattoos can become infected – mainly down to dirty needles.

Are you thinking with a clear head?

A lot of people who get a tattoo abroad often say they did it because they were under the influence of alcohol. Drinking can make people make do things that they wouldn’t do with a clear head – which is why getting a tattoo when drunk should always be avoided. This could happen back at home, but you’re less likely to get someone to agree to tattoo you when drunk. A lot of holiday destinations are more relaxed and won’t ask as many questions.

Is it really the best holiday ever?

It might be the best holiday you’ve had so far, but will you still feel the same in a few years time? What if you go on an even better holiday? We suggest doing something else to remember the amazing holiday – it doesn’t need inking on your skin.
