    She can get is lasered off, but its exspensive, more painful than the tattoo, and not always gonna be perfect.

    Her other option is to do a coverup. She can have an artist design a tattoo that will disguise the old one. This is usually a simpler way of getting rid of an unwanted tattoo. The downside is that the coverup will have to be slightly bigger and darker than the original, and she will still have a tattoo if its something she doesn't want anymore.

    Peace

    I think ahimsa makes a good suggestion. A cover up will be most likely be less expensive and much easier to do.

    But maybe having the name of an ex on her back isn't such a bad thing. It was a part of her life...covering it up or getting it lasered off won't take it away.

    Just my opinion.

    A tattoo is a representation of you past, present and future. I'd tell her to just leave it.
