All the big powers they've silenced me. So much for free speech and choice on this fundamental human right, and outing the liars.

    I am so glad to hear that the NHS won't remove it for free!

    You have asked on the wrong board, this is the [STRIKE]Thickie[/STRIKE] Techie Board, If you post on the Health, Beauty & Fashion MoneySaving Board there is a poster who performs tattoo removal based in Skipton.

    This is NOT technical at all, the group is technical in nature and deals with such things as Computers which are technical if you get my drift. The other guy is suggesting you search Google, but you're right that's NOT the correct course to take. What you need to do is go here: http://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/index.php then where it says 'Forum Search' here: http://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/search.php click that put into the box 'tattoo removal' and click search, then click each of the subjects that match your own query. Using the BACK key to get back to the search every time you've finnished reading a subject. Hopefully, if you do the following you'll find a subject like this: https://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/discussion/2085805 there are other threads to read, there may even be one more upto date. But I'll leave it with you.

    great sorry, never thought of health and beauty. cheers.

    also i have not involved NHS it wasnt put there by a hospital so i wouldnt expect them to remove it, also i work for NHS so im not even going to think about seeing a doctor to waste more of our money.

    Interesting that the fourth post in the Google search is self-referential...

    (Or, at least, it was when I tried it!)
  • Might be worth going to a decent tattooist and seeing if they could do anything to cover the name up with another design, needn't be expensive!
