Is Complete Tattoo Removal Possible?

July 11, 2013
Asked By:x8els2pss

I desperately want my tattoo gone. It is 8 years old and was done professionally with black ink. Based on my research I believe laser treatment to be the best option. I am concerned about the results though - I do NOT want a cover-up, and given the prominent nature of its placement it is important to me that my tattoo is 100% gone. My worst fear is that it comes out looking terribly and thus draws even more attention. How would you rate my outlook and how many treatments would be necessary?
