How well does laser tattoo removal work?
by admin on Saturday, November 21st, 2009 | 7 Comments
I have a tattoo on my arm that i want gone! it is about 3inx2in and I am willing to start pating the $200-$300 a session to get it removed, but will i find out $2,000 later that my arm is messed up and the ink is never coming out?! I already regret the tattoo on my arm i dont want to regret it anymore. should i just cover it with something cool or risk the laser removal?
It will be all gone eventually. But depending on the colors and depth that it was drawn at, it may take 10 or more treatments. You can’t just plan on 6 treatments being enough, because it might not be. If you start it you have to finish it and it may get REALLY expensive (over 2 grand) I say if it’s that small go for the cover up =)

Done it!
Depending on the size and colors it could cost you thousands of dollars, it is painful like being popped with a rubber band over and over again. and It causes ugly scarring. It may take years to be gone, but there will always be signs.

Well around here it starts at $99 a session, so I’d consider going somewhere else if they’re starting you at 2-300 a session.
The tattoo will be most likely not visible after removal is complete. However, it depends on a lot of factors: the age of the tat, whether it was done professionally (a lot of amateurs are done more shallow into the skin, so they come out easier. However, professional tattoos are usually tattoed evenly throughout a layer of skin so that makes it easier than if it’s deeper in some parts and shallow in others.) The color of the ink used is a big factor. Black is easiest to remove. Red is also pretty easy. Green is among the toughest, so is yellow and blue.
Hopefully you want have to spend $2,000, which is obviously way more than you spent on the tat. If it’s a simply tattoo, it may only take as low as two sessions. If it’s a larger more complex tattoo, it may take 4-8. Plus, the sessions have to be spaced usually 4-8 weeks apart to give your skin time to heal.
You could always get a consultation. If you want to get the tattoo covered, you could always have a session or two to get the tat faded enough to get it covered after your skin has healed.
Some side effects of laser tattoo aren’t a very big deal— after the removal your skin may blister up. Sometimes people get pigmentation problems in their skin (the laser removal may make your skin lighter) but it’s pretty rare and shouldn’t be too noticeable if it happens. The laser works by going into your skin and breaking up the pigmentation in the ink, which your body’s immune system later clears up. Pretty safe.
If you’re worried about pain, it might hurt more than your tattoo did. A lot of people describe it as burning, or being snapped with a rubber band. Put those two together and it’s like being snapped with a really hot rubber band. At my consultation, the people there told me it’s like being snapped with a burning rubber band or similar to having hot grease splattered on you while cooking. Something like that.
I’d say get a consultation and see what they recommend you do. $200-300 is way to much to be spending on just one session though.

$100 a session is normal, not anything more. You get it less when you buy package deals too, but it often takes 8 or sometimes more sessions.
Personally I had 5 sessions done and the part of my tattoo I was attempting to remove (a date) didn’t budge. It was on my inner wrist where the blood flow is poor and my body wasn’t reacting well to the laser. I ended up covering the date.

I really dont understand what the quote is saying..
but i think you should get something that is more personal to you and not just something that you saw on a celeb. I was thinking about getting a quote tattoo also but its hard to find that one perfect quote. The quote i am most drawn to is "live like you were dying" which is for the most part what carpe diem means so im getting a tattoo that says carpe diem with a butterfly by it.
find something YOU like then tweek it to make it something original for you.
Nair, as well as other depilatory hair removal products are loaded with chemicals. That's why it usually smells so bad. The chemical is most likely what burned off the top layer or changed the color of your ring.
My best bet, would be to try Sterling Silver Tarnish, which can be found at a jewelry store or at any other stores like Target or Walmart.
Usually, the silver turns brown or bronze-y, due to it being tarnished. It is natural for it to happen like that. But I don't see why you shouldn't give the sterling silver tarnish a try… good luck!
