I had a small tattoo - went for removal. I now have what looks like a severe burn. They switched lasers three times - worse botch job ever. Think twice before going here for tattoo removal- the end result will be worse than the tattoo. I was told after the 2nd session that the first laser was outdated- why continue to use inadequate equipment ... Horrible experience, consider yourself warned.

Never go here for tattoo removal. Thus us what 4 sessions look like- no more-- I should have stopped after the first burning

I'm sorry your experience was not a positive one. Are you planning on getting a second opinion somewhere else?

I have with two other providers- I was told I have been scarred and my options now are having the skin removed, tattoo over it or live with it as it is-

oh ok do you mind looking at my review and giving me ur advice on what i should do i know i want the tattoo i have removed from my stomach but idk if laser will do good on my skin because its darker. or should i just get it surgically removed? and what do you think about my tattoo?

I like the tattoo... If you decide on laser ask to see before and afters .... It will take several sessions. I've seen people have success with the laser... Do you research first. What don't you like about the tattoo?

i guess the placement idk i think its looks kinds weired over the scar and disformed belly button i have from my hernia surgery i had when i was a baby. alot of ppl like it they think its cute. it was only black ink at first be it looked very plain so i got color added and every one like all my friends think it looks alot better with the color what do u think?

So sorry you had such a horrible expereince with removal - what lasers did they use?

I'm not even sure... There were three different lasers used. Every time I would go they would say they upgraded the equipment... I guess that should have given me a clue.

I had this same problem with my first clinic. They seemed uneducated in there trade. I got several scars and burnt wrinkled skin. What are your plans now?

Either get a tattoo to cover or have it cut out, I haven't decided yet!

Try needling/dry tattooing. If you are patient, you can get rid of the scar completely, but it takes about two years of repeat sessions....but try it at least once, so you can flatten the scar.

That is scary... especially considering it was done at a doctor's office. I scar from any type of burns, so I am scared to try laser removal. Try dry tattooing over your scar. It will at least flatten it and get rid of the rest of the ink.
