I have two tattoos, one behind each ear. I want to join the military but they’ve denied me for my tattoos. I want to get them removed as soon as possible but the two locations here are telling me at least 6 sessions of laser treatment which is just too long. What are your thoughts and suggestions, I would be willing to travel to get them removed.
