Awful tattoos transformed into authentic pieces of art

Tattoos are one of those things meant to last forever, but sometimes people don’t make the decision of getting a picture or a word permanently onto their skin with their best judgment on and choose either bad designs or bad tattoo artists, so regret about it is perfectly understandable.

Tattoo removal procedures with laser are expensive and sometimes they leave the skin with bad results, so many people resort to tattoo covering (this time, with the help of a professional), which can turn a bad tattoo into a true piece of art.

This post from Buzzfeed lists examples from the TV show Tattoo Nightmares in which the original tattoo has been masterfully covered by a tattoo artist able to fix the mess that the previous studio had made.
