My two-year-old daughter pointed to my ankle recently and asked, “What’s that?” I told her it was a sun, and she was satisfied. She may never know I also ran around for a while with a pierced naval. When I grew weary of it, I just had the ring removed. When it comes to youthful indiscretions, some are easier to erase than others.

There is actually a product known as wrecking balm that actually works pretty well...
Tattoo removal is very expensive and painful, I have had friends do it. Myself I love all my tattoos because they are like little memories and they are mine. Now I know tattoos are not for everyone but just thought I would throw my advice your way, for wahtever it is worth....If you feel like your tattoo has lost some meaning or flare why not just got and enhance it? I am not saying do something big something little like maybe working your daughter's initals into it to make it more special. Anyhoo thats my two cents:)
This is a story that I can definitely relate to! I have one of those "it seemed like a good odea at the time" tatoos and I know what you mean about feeling like your have been wearing the same pair of shoes...HA, I never thought about it like that but it is true. I too have thought about removal and await a better alternative than the current options. My chosen permanent bady art was a spider chain around my ankle....loooong story about why spiders....at least you got something that doesn't make other people look at you like you are a reformed goth. Thanks for sharing!
