Tattoos and Parenthood

Jim Trenholm • March 20, 2018

At Unthink Inc., we know every tattoo has a story. Whether it’s someone’s first or their twentieth, there’s always a memory to go along with it.

Sometimes they’re meaningful other times they’re impulsive, but either way it becomes apart of who they are. However, as we get older and evolve, some of these tattoos can no longer reflect who we are.

Becoming a parent is often one of the largest periods of growth in a person’s life. It often completely changes their world view. With this change, they may decide their tattoo no longer relevant to their life.

This doesn’t necessarily mean it needs to be removed completely, it can be partially removed or simply lightened in certain areas. Another popular option is to have a tattoo covered up by a different design. In these situations, the tattoo may need to be partially removed to achieve the right look.

Tattoos and Parenthood

At Unthink Inc., we know saying goodbye to a tattoo isn’t easy. Even if you know it’s what you want, it can still be difficult to let go of that part of your life. We want to ensure you’re happy with your results and that leave with the exact look you were hoping for.  

Having children doesn’t automatically require a person to get rid of their tattoos. In fact, tattoos are now more common than ever. Approximately 40 percent of people aged between 18 and 29 and 32 percent of 30 to 45 year olds, have ink somewhere on their body .

We believe public perception should never be a factor in your decision to change your tattoo. It’s all about how you feel about it. If you’re proud of your ink but feel your designs need altering to be appropriate for your children then let Unthink Inc. help evolve your tattoo with our altering and fading services.
