The market of tattoo removal is constantly rising [1]. Recent American polls showed a growing proportion of tattooed individuals that regretted getting tattooed: nearly one fourth (23%) in 2016 against 14% in 2012 [2]. In France, a recent poll in 2016 in France showed that 7% of the tattooed individuals had a tattoo removed [3]. In 2017, we performed a national survey on 5000 French individuals that were representative from the general population to evaluate the prevalence and the characteristics of the tattooed population [4]. We report here about regrets and tattoo removal among the participants. This article is protected by copyright. All rights reserved.
