Textile tattoo

If there's a will to tattoo your skin, there's a way to mess it up. Luckily, even if it doesn't pan out, you don't have to wear the disappointment forever. There are a couple of approaches to saving your image. This time, we'll focus on cover-ups.

If there's one person you should love no matter what, it is you. However, we often forget this important statement. One way to constantly be reminded of it is by getting a self-love tattoo. Self-love tattoos convey a powerful message that will never get old and always stay relevant. Fads come and go, but the self-love movement is here to stay. Therefore, tattoos that represent self-love rarely become subjects of post-tattoo anxiety or something we grow to regret later in life.
