Sean, a tattoo enthusiast with tattoos covering his eyes, decided to hide his facial tattoos to make a good impression on his girlfriend’s father, Lamar. With the help of a friend, Sean used foundation and concealer to cover up his facial tattoos for a meeting at a steakhouse. Although he felt uncomfortable with his tattoo-free appearance,

he noticed that people treated him differently when his tattoos were not visible. After the meeting, he removed his makeup and returned to his familiar tattooed appearance. The response to his appearance was mixed, with some people preferring him without tattoos, while others encouraged him to be himself.Hiding or removing tattoos for personal or social reasons is not uncommon. For example, actor Pete Davidson underwent the process of removing nearly 200 tattoos over several years to change his image. He recently appeared in a Reformation campaign, showing off his toned physique in underwear and an “Official Boyfriend” sweatshirt. Davidson shared that he wanted to grow up and change his fashion style.
