Tattoos are a serious commitment. Once you've got one, you're pretty much stuck with it for life - from the wobbly line work to the misspelled lettering. Of course, there are some things you can get touched up, such as unsaturated colour, dodgy shading, and misshapen designs - if you're lucky, that is.
For the biggest mistakes, however, a simple touch-up won't do, and you either need to get the artwork removed or covered-up. Fortunately, there are some talented artists out there who can turn any wreck into a piece to be proud of, and here are just some of them...

Of course, it's better to be happy with the first result than have to go back and get a completely new piece done, but it's good to know that - should you fall victim to a crappy tat - there are ways of fixing almost anything.
