Best Tattoo Removal Methods

I was just basically wanting to know more about my certain types of treatment. I am on my 4th treatment with laser surgery and it was estimated that it would be around 7-9 treatments my doctor said. My tattoos look a little faded but nothing big and I was kind of getting worried about it. My doctor takes pictures of it every time I go in so I know he is checking up on it. Basically I just want to know how it works really? When should I start noticing big differences and what happens on my last treatment?

Speak with your doctor each person, their tattoo, & removal experience is a little different. How much fading are you seeing after 3 treatments? Black ink & older tattoos of 10 years or more treat best. Color can be more challenging. The link below has general information on the subject. Good luck to you.

yep,once the lasered area has healed you can treat it like fresh skin.

I feel so out of place like i’m the only one who’s doing it.. i don’t know why its not like i’m getting a boob job or plastic surgery, but still /: i’m scared my skin on my upper arm (where my tattoo is) will never look normal again, even after laser tattoo removal.

It’s normal for people to get a tattoo removed since other people do it, not sure how common it is because some people wouldn’t dream of getting their tattoos removed because they love their tattoos. Like the process of getting a tattoo you should make sure that the laser clinic is a good one. If you want a tattoo removed then have a few consultations with some clinics in your area. If they are good at what they do, if they are certified and licensed, then you shouldn’t have too much damage to your skin.

Just curious

yes

Tattoo to cover it. Other than laser surgery or another tattoo to cover it, are there any other options to get rid of it?

Laser removal or cover it up that’s it

Any of the creams people advertise don’t work

i have tattoo now that i like to remove. i hear wrecking balm doesn’t work. i am thinking about getting laser removal surgery, but i want a tattoo in the same spot.

Before you remove….see if there is an srtist near you that can make something better out of what you got. May save you some time,money, and pain!

It depends on the colors in the tattoo. Different lasers are used for different color pigments.

I have a big ugly lower back tattoo and I would love to cover it without laser surgery?

….you could get another tattoo and make it into something else.
they can make a whole new tattoo and no one will ever know what you had there.
what is your tattoo of?

if you really dont want a tattoo there…
then laser surgery is your only option.

It’s on the side of my neck and is about 2 X 2 inches. I don’t have the money for the laser surgery so I was wondering If anyone knows a way to remove it. Even if i need to take a cheese grater to it I need to get it off so I can join the military. Any suggestions?
Its not derogatory. Its a Bird on the side of my neck and the recruiter told me that he couldnt get a waiver for it because of its location.

i tell u what
i knwo u might not have money to do the laser but that is the only way .. get a personal loan to do it.. or pay it off installment
other than that.. use makeup to cover it 9 which is not fot a long term )

just go to the laser place..

"If people only realized how difficult it is to remove a tattoo, understood how costly and how painful tattoo removal is, and recognized that society as a whole still views tattoos as a stigma, maybe they would think seriously before getting one. Laser removal costs a minimum of $7,000.00 (national average) per tattoo, and takes at least 10 to 15 treatments, spread out over two or more years. Even with this treatment, the tattoo is still visible." http://www.heloise.com/tattoo.html
Tattoo author Laura Reybold, writes that ". . .an ever rising number of people are so unhappy with their tattoos that they are willing to pay anything to have them removed."
"Yet an ever rising number of people are so unhappy with their tattoos that they are willing to pay anything to have them removed. Tattoo removal laser surgery is becoming big business for the dermatologists who perform it."
