Ever wonder what happens when a conservative firebrand meets a laser beam and loses?
Meghan McCain, 41, took to X this weekend to deliver a truth bomb that every inked-up regretter knows too well: “Getting a tattoo removed is such a bitch, I’m about to just give up and keep em.” The former “View” co-host didn’t specify which design is causing the meltdown — could be the wrist script, the ankle art, or something spicier she’s kept under wraps — but she made it clear the pain-to-payoff ratio is not mathing.
Laser removal, for the uninitiated, feels like hot bacon grease snapping against skin over and over, costs a mortgage payment per session, and requires weeks of healing between rounds. McCain, who’s never met a hot take she didn’t vocalize, apparently hit her breaking point after what sources say is multiple appointments. “She went in thinking it’d be three sessions max,” whispers an insider close to the McCain camp. “Now she’s looking at double digits and the bill is giving her sticker shock.”
Fans flooded the replies with equal parts sympathy and schadenfreude. “Welcome to the club, Meghan — my lower back tribal piece says hi,” cracked one user. Another offered: “Just cover it up! A phoenix rising from the ashes of your 20s aesthetic.” The discourse quickly spiraled into a full-blown tattoo regret support group, complete with before-and-after horror stories and dermatologist recommendations.
What do you think? A) Suffer through the laser, girl — clean canvas is worth it B) Keep the ink, own the chaos, save the cash
