Tattoo regrets are forever, but thankfully, so are the laughs they bring.
To explore this fascinating mix of planning and impulsiveness, Bored Panda spoke with Harkesh Rajpoot, a seasoned tattoo artist with over a decade of experience. With an impressive Instagram following of 34k and additional expertise as a mehndi artist, Harkesh gave us an inside look at the world of tattooing.“There are two kinds of people who come to us,” Harkesh began. “Some know exactly what they want, often bringing references and discussing details.
When asked about guiding these newcomers, Harkesh revealed: “We always give suggestions. For example, we recommend darker ink for people with darker skin tones so their tattoos pop and age well. Unfortunately, not everyone understands this—it’s purely to ensure the tattoo looks its best. But some people insist on their choices, and while we know they might regret it, we can’t say no if they’re firm.”Harkesh shared that balancing client expectations is often the hardest part of the job.
But when the relationship ends, those tattoos become painful reminders. It’s the same with friendship tattoos. I’ve seen three friends get the same design, only for the bond to break, and suddenly, they all want cover-ups.Cover-ups, according to Harkesh, are an art form in themselves. “If someone regrets a five-inch tattoo, we’ll often design a seven-inch piece to cover it seamlessly. It’s about creating something they’ll love, not just hiding something they don’t.
