Does CoolSculpt affect tattoos?

September 24, 2020
Asked By:Inventive2667 in Lincoln, Nebraska

I went to see about CoolSculpting. They told me that they couldn’t put the pads over any of my tattoos as there’s some kind of safety in the machine that causes it to stop if it was on a tattoo. Something about the tattoos don’t get cold enough so the machine shuts off. I don’t know. I’m really confused. I wanted CoolSculpting on my arms, bra bulge, and love handles, but I was told they can’t do it since those spots are covered.
