After nearly 15 years I finally decided to try a different way to remove tattoos on my forearms. Laseraway had a great holiday deal going on. I showed up 15 minutes before my scheduled time which didn’t allow enough time for me to use the numbing cream. They gave me two little ice packs and I numbed my forearms For about eight to ten minutes. The process itself was relatively quick under two minutes for both small tattoos. Getting the tattoos was far more painful than this process, although the laser is not comfortable.
