Your tattoo doesn't feel like you anymore — and that confusion is heavier than the regret itself.

The free Regret Reframe is a guided reflection that helps you understand what changed and why. It won't fix the tattoo, but it will give you clarity about what it represents now versus what it represented then. And sometimes, clarity is enough.

What you get:

• Guided reflection framework

• Several perspective-based reframes 

• Actionable next steps (rework, cover, removal, or acceptance)

• Free, no email required

You're thinking about a tattoo. Maybe it's been building for weeks. Maybe it hit you today. Either way, there's urgency — and urgency isn't always clarity.

The free Impulse Tattoo Check asks eight questions designed to catch false certainty before it becomes permanent. It doesn't tell you what to do. It just makes sure you're choosing, not your adrenaline. It's the 15 minute filter between "I want this now," and "I'll still want this later."

​

What you get:

• 15-minute guided filter

• Immediate readiness assessment (Activated, Transitional, or Integrated state)

• Next-step recommendations based on your results

• Free, no email required

Some tattoos carry more than ink. They carry grief, transition, identity, survival. And when emotion is driving the decision, timing matters as much as meaning. 

Tattoo Readiness is a guided experience that starts with a free assessment that helps you determine whether this is the right moment for permanence — or whether the tattoo would serve you better if you waited. Not gatekeeping. Just clarity. 

What you get:

• Emotional origin assessment (Activated vs Transitional vs Integrated)

• Regulation and orientation support if you're in an activated state

• Symbolic placeholders and temporal testing tools

• Clear guidance on when permanence is appropriate

The brain systems that handle identity formation and impulse control are still developing in early adulthood — and that matters when decisions are permanent.

Future Proof is a grounded, respectful guide for people ages 18–20 who want their first tattoo, or next tattoo, to feel like theirs not just now, but years from now. It introduces the mental models, decision frameworks, and future-self considerations that help first tattoos evolve with identity instead of locking in a moment too tightly. This isn’t about telling anyone what not to do.
It’s about giving young adults the tools most people only learn after regret.

What you get

• A clear explanation of how brain development impacts permanent decisions

• Decision frameworks tailored specifically to first tattoos

• Guidance on meaning, placement, and timing — without pressure

• Common first-tattoo pitfalls and how to avoid them

• A future-self lens that supports growth rather than freezing identity

Who it’s for

• Young adults (18–20) getting their first tattoo

• Parents, guardians, or loved ones who want to support an informed decision

• Anyone gifting clarity instead of control
