We are offering five free tattoo removal sessions for the person with the best story to tell about why they want to ‘say ta ta to their tatt’ this Valentine’s Day

We are also running a special Valentine’s Day clinic on Sunday 14th February so people can book their loved ones in for a free consultation to remove their tattoo.

Having a tattoo related to an ex-partner removed is the most common reason for tattoo removal and every year in the run up to Valentine’s Day there is a surge of people looking to have their ex’s name, or some other reminder of their ex, removed.

What might seem like a romantic idea when you are head over heels in love and think you are going to be together forever doesn’t feel so good when you split up. After all, who wants reminding about a past relationship, especially when you meet someone new?

Celebrities aren’t immune to regretting their ink either. Well known stars that are reported to have had tattoos of their ex’s removed include Angelina Jolie and Russell Brand.

Laserase Bolton, which is on the site of the Royal Bolton Hospital, is looking for your story about why you want your tattoo removed this Valentine’s Day. The best one chosen will win five free tattoo removal treatments worth from £200 to £1,000, depending on the size of the tattoo.

Clinic Manager Julie Kershaw said: “From the number of tattoo removal treatments we carry out, we know that many people want to get rid of a tattoo of their ex. That’s why we are offering five free tattoo removal sessions to the person who sends us the best reason why they want to ‘say ta ta to their tatt’ this Valentine’s Day.”
