Would you entertain the idea of having your tattoo removed?

This would be a good example to your children: to undo the wrong.
I have about 5. It would cost an astonishing amount of money, one I have would cost a 1-2 grand easy because of placement. Tattoos are cheaper to get, and way more expensive to get rid of.

I don't know whether or not tattoos are a mortal sin (I think this would depend on every particular situation, motive, amount, theme, etc.). They are a sure sign of degeneracy, however. Most especially, in women. I've heard you can tell whether a girl is damaged, just by looking at this indication alone. 

Catholics should reject all degeneracy.

Other than the body is the temple, how exactly is this a desecration?  In some English I have a possibility of following and understanding  :confused:

I wonder whether it would qualify as a form of "self-mutilation" which is a sin.

Can you cover up these tattoos by wearing modest apparel so that your children and others will not see them?

Some doctors in the past were advertising free or reduced cost removal of tattoos.

Whatever you do, please do not add more tattoos because there is always a risk of infection or reaction to the ink.
Less is best.
