Why is Professional Tattoo Removal Booming?

Of the quarter of all Australians less than 30 that are tattooed, 1 in 3 regret they ever got it. This unsurprising statistic has given rise to a boom in the supply and demand for professional tattoo removal services in salons, medispas and clinics. And it makes sense: tattoos are now becoming the norm. With more people getting tattooed, there’s naturally also going to be an increase in people wanting to get rid of them.

The reality is many people get tattoos that they unfortunately regret having later. What seemed like a good idea at the time can sometimes become a problem later on. For some people having a tattoo that they no longer want can lead to psychological distress, for others it can mean difficulty in securing employment or going for a promotion. However, there are also many others simply seeking to reduce or remove previous tattoos in order to make way for newer, more modern designs.
