Let Go of Memory Lane and Remove That Tattoo

People accumulate various types of things to hold on to old memories, like photos, knick-knacks, or school trophies. At some point, we may be ready to let go of those objects. Too much time has gone by, and we aren’t the same person as we were in our youth. We are ready to make room for the next chapter by embracing who we are now.

It may be easy to filter through photos or dump those old racing ribbons, but some things are clinging on a little more. Like the tattoo, 25-year-old you proudly displayed. It’s not only faded, but the person who got it no longer exists. And every time you look at it, it’s a reminder of your past and doesn’t help you move toward the future.

Lots of Bay Area residents are going through the same experience. It’s why tattoo removal in our Foster City clinic is so popular for San Mateo and Burlingame residents. They are ready to let go of an old persona and focus on today.

People get tattoos for several reasons. Here are a few of them:

• Individuality: Skin ink is a way to say, “This is who I am and want you to know.” Whether it’s a cross to show faith, or a smiling monkey with a top hat and a cigarette, that tattoo was meant to communicate who you are on the inside.
• It’s a rebellious act: A tattoo can be a way to thumb one’s nose at conformity, standing out from the crowd.
• They can have cultural significance: A symbol or tribal-style tattoo can indicate one’s pride in their heritage.
• It can honor a loved one or an ideal: The skin becomes a memorial for those who have passed, like family or a beloved pet. Veterans tend to get tattoos representing their time in service and their continued love for their country.

Psychology Today has an article elaborating on why people get tattoos.
