Who needs a visual reminder of the heartbreak?

When you’re in a relationship, getting tattoos to symbolize your love makes a lot of sense. But if the relationship ends, you’re left with a visual reminder of your heartbreak, which often makes moving on even more difficult.

In the BuzzFeed video above, a woman named Brittany decides to cover up a tattoo she got for her ex during their five-year emotionally abusive relationship.

“It’s been a long time coming,” she said. “I’ve been working really hard just to move forward and not feel a certain way about my life anymore and the things I’ve gone through.”

The new tattoo, she said, will “give [her] the freedom to just be and live and be worry free.”

Watch the clip to see how the tattoo is transformed by Los Angeles-based tattoo artist Miryam Lumpini.

Before You Go

"Your skin tells people if you're healthy, how old you are, whether you're embarrassed, nervous or sick. That's the language of skin."
