So..... I was a wild one in my late teens and decided to get a bunch of unnecessary tattoos. When I hit my 20's and realized how tacky they looked I decided to go and seek tattoo removal.
My experience was that IT HURTS! You can get numbing injections but I could not have the one that...

My tattoo is 1"x1" on my hand. I was concerned about not being hired for a job with it. I took 5 treatments over the course of 9 months that healed quickly each time. The doctor said that should be sufficient, but the tattoo's still there, faded in some areas more than others. I...

I have several tattoos starting at my ankle and going down to my foot. I am on my 7th session and see some results but not enough to be impressed about. But the worst thing has been the blood blisters. The worst one was on the top of my foot that I got after the second session. It stood almost...

I had 2 different tattoos removed. First one I had removed using a Photoderm technique that was 99.9% removed in 3 visits for $150 a visit at a place in Arlington Texas. It hurt and really blistered. It left minor scaring but I would rather have the scar then the tattoo.
The second tattoo I...

Not Sure
Spent: $100 in Texas
I have a small star on my ankle and decided to remove it using the peel since it would cost less. Its been 3 days since i applied it. It wasnt that painful and i left it on for about 6 minutes. Since then it has turned brownish and seems like it will start to peel at any moment.

Tattoo removal: was it worth it?
Tattoo Removal Information
- Getting rid of a tattoo may be possible by laser tattoo removal, excision (cutting it out), or dermabrasion
- The darker the ink, the easier it is for the laser to target the ink
- Your skin type/skin color is a major factor in which tattoo colors can be effectively AND safely treated. For example, the darker the skin, the more challenging it becomes when treating lighter colors
- Tattoos of any kind represent a challenge: requires numerous clinic or office visits, considerable pain, and no guarantee you'll entirely remove the ink
- Tattoo removal cost varies according to the size, location, and quality of the tattoo
- Tattoo removal at home is unlikely to lead to complete removal of the ink, and may cause burns or other unwanted skin damage
