    To be honest, I see tattoos as a part of your life and journey on this earth. We are inevitably going to change multiple times throughout our lives but I do love my tattoos and I know I’d never regret them. I was set on that lifetime commitment and always knew that no matter what was happening and how much I was evolving, I’d still cherish them simply because that was a past me and I am content with myself and my decisions so far in live. If it wasn’t for the younger me, I wouldn’t be here so I owe her respect for who she was.

    Paused at 13:09 to say Nooooo!!! Your back tattoo is EPICCCC. I love how you’ve always worn pieces with the back out so it can peek through. As you’ve matured your style has definitely shifted more towards neutral minimalism but the tattoo has always been what gave it that edge for me (on the occasions we could see it).
    Anyways I say all that to say do whatever makes you happy lol Just think it’s pretty dope is all and it’s become one of your signatures in a way but of course you’d still be you without it.

    First of all, this editing is 🤌🏾🤌🏾 ouff. Sophia, i cant wait to see all the Mama Chang cooking content in this beautiful kitchen. Lastly, seeing your videos from years ago till
    Who you are today, i saw this tattoo removal episode coming. You’ve grown and matured so much and it’s totally normal and part of life. Gurl you went from full face smokey eyes with them lashes to fresh face and monochromatic tones. It shows your transition and growth and I am honored to be able to be a part of this journey ❤

    Hi Sophie! Imma a follower for like, 10 years? more? (The red haired sophie, the black haired sophie, THE BLONDE) I've always loved your tattoos! specially the big ones! I remember the video of you explaining them. I think it's part of you, your story, your winnings and lost battles. It's your story! I am a bit sad of knowing they will be no long there, but choose what makes you happy! If you're happy, we are happy : )

    @kyungminnam Рік тому +18

    i’m seeing so many comments saying how much they love the tattoo; and I hope that doesn’t change your decision (don’t even know if you can stop after the first session). removal feels like a symbolic and literary physical act of embracing your new self so it’s a brave and meaningful decision you should commit to.

    for future, they offer sedation lazer removal where i live, talk to your gp if it's too painful, it's literally so much quicker and easier to have a sedation and they remove tons of it for you and you can't feel it because you're asleep

    Thank you for sharing every aspect of your life with us, including pieces of your home and your tattoo removal journey. This is the biggest part of why I still follow you - have watched you before you got your tattoo. I have really been so proud of how far you’ve come - all of your accomplishments in life and how much you’ve grown as an incredibly strong woman so far. Excited to continue watching you blossom and do life with you!! 🫰🏼

    I am sorry that you have felt unseen or like your tattoo was what people where more interested in seeing. I am not one of those people and at the end of the day I want you to be happy and if no longer having makes you happy then I am happy. Thanks for sharing your story and your new home on your terms.

    It's your body Sophia so you get to decide what you want to keep and what not. Since you're not attached to that piece of you from the past I think you took the right decision. We grow and evolve so it's OK for some part of us to stay in the past ❤️

    First of all, welcome back honey! Second, I'm honestly kinda sad about your tattoo removal but don't worry I think everyone here will support your decision, it's your body and you decide how to show it to the world, if that tattoo doesn't fit you anymore let's get rid of it, some people decide to cover them up, some people decide to remove them, some people decide to live life with them, completely valid! Anyway, loved the minimalism in your home and the big spaces I bet everyone in your home appreciate it!
