[theqoo] THE TIME WOMEN REMOVES TATTOOS THE MOST

April 9, 2026

My uncle is a dermatologist, and he says the time when women come to get tattoos removed the most is not when they get married, but when they send their children to daycare or kindergarten. When my son was attending school, there was a mother with a long rose tattoo. While other mothers were called by their child’s name, she was just called “the mom with the rose tattoo” or “the tattooed mom.” Later, I noticed she kept wearing long sleeves even in the summer. This is reality.

You might not know now while you are single, but if you get married, you gain in-laws, and if you have a child, a group of people forms around the child. At that time, it may not be self-satisfaction, but a concern and regret.

> This is for real..

Among the parents, instead of being called so-and-so’s mom, they are referred to as, “That mom with the XX tattoo,” you know.

1. Even though I’m not married, I wouldn’t want my child to hang out with kids with a parent who has tattoos

2. I wouldn’t associate with the parents of a kid with tattoos either… It’s not like it’s congenital or anything; they’re doing it for others to see, so they should bare the consequences of the reputation it has?

3. Tattoos are science

4. I don’t understand why people go out of their way to get tattoos… they look messy

5. But the negative perception of tattoos isn’t unique to Korea; it’s bad abroad too

6. I’m a reader from the US, and I live in the neighborhood with the highest income and best school district in this city, but even here, I haven’t seen many tattoos. Of course, they might have gotten them in places that aren’t visible… anyway, it’s not like tattoos are taken lightly here either

7. You can’t deny reality, everyone should take that into consideration when getting tattoos

8. As long as it’s not irezumi, I don’t really care

9. You’ll get treated harshly if you have tattoos unless you’re a celebrity

10. This is the truth
