If you didn't know this already, tattoos are permanent… As parents like to remind their tatted up children quite often. So what do you do if you get a bad tattoo or it comes out messed up somehow? Well, usually you either wait until it's healed and spend thousands of dollars getting it removed by a professional. Or you talk with another tattoo artist, preferably one you trust, and see how you can transform it or cover it up to look better. Others however take a riskier route and try to hinder the healing of the tattoo so it doesn't heal properly and it fades. This is possible, but not guaranteed and can cause serious scarring or even infection. So we highly recommend you DON'T do that. 

That being said, this girl got some truly heinous fine line tattoos from a TikTok tattoo artist she saw and it sent her into tears. She was so desperate that she spent the proceeding weeks scrubbing her tattoos with oil and salt and soaking them in hydrogen peroxide. She did it enough, and the tattoos we're light enough to begin with, that she was actually able to significantly fade them. And with that she went to her usual tattoo artist and got them expertly fixed. She learned her lesson the hard way and vows never to "cheat" on her tattoo artist again.
