The Dark Side Of The Clean Girl Aesthetic

Bad tattoos often end up going viral on social media. Whether that's because they resemble bad carnival ride artwork or simply because they were touched by Ariel Dejesus. However, one trend thats been forgotten but hasn’t slowed in momentum is tattoo regret. Everyone seems to be regretting their alt phase, their colourful hair, and their tattoos. Everthing from fine linework, all the way to bold traditional pieces are being sent off for laser removal. Young women are coming on camera to warn others from getting body art as it's ‘manly’ or ‘ tacky’. But this trend of tattoo regret coinciding with a rise in shallow aesthetic shifts like whimsymaxxing and clean girl is an omen of a much bigger shift. Do people really regret their flower fineart tattoo, or is social media selling us a traditional ideal of femininity and security, amid an ever-increasing cost of living?
