Oh, if only it was as easy to remove a tatoo as it is to get them! There would be so many less miserably unhappy people who want that old biyfriend's name off their bum.

Unfortunately, it takes dozens of treatments, often with different lasers for the different colors, to begin to make those tatoos disappear. Some kind of scar or mottling is often the final outcome after thousands of dollars.

Helpful?
