18 Celebrities Who Regret Their Tattoos

Many of us have been there: you get a tattoo that you love in the moment, something that seems really important to you, only to feel an intense regret about it a few years later. And, as it turns out, celebrities experience this too (stars, they're just like us!). That shouldn't be surprising, since getting something permanently inked onto your skin comes with consequences. Oftentimes, people regret the tattoos they got when they were really young, claiming they never really thought it through properly. And sometimes, people just regret the fact that they once got so many tattoos in general.

Whether it was due to their tat being a spur-of-the-moment decision, a now-ex's name (yikes), or just something that is getting in the way of their career, these celebrities have publicly expressed their regret over certain tattoos. Some have covered up their ink with other designs, while others opted to go through the painful removal process to be rid of them forever. Here's a look at the celebrities who wish they never made that trip to the tattoo parlor.
