  • tattoo removing process depends on the color of the tattoo as different beams of light works differently for different colors of tattoo,I had a dark colored tattoo and i easily got done away with it.
  • Laser tattoo removal is great for removing your tattoo permanently. I had a tattoo on the right side of my arm. I took 4-5 session of laser tattoo removal. Now it is completely invisible. Results are good. Keep one thought in mind. Before going through the procedure, you should consult with a cosmetic surgeon.

    Laser tattoo removal is great for removing unwanted tattoo. I think you should use laser removal for permanently removing your tattoo. Laser treatment is very easy and effective.

    These two posts strike me as very similar, and a bit spammy!

    Laser treatment of tattoos is not what I would describe as 'Easy' (And I have a laser and do it!)

    Laser tattoo removal is very effective on the tattoos that are a good colour for it - but as a poster said above, the success of it is very dependent on the colours involved.

    I would never tell anyone that a tattoo could be gone in 4-5 sessions unless it was a very old one that had mostly faded anyway, or a 'DIY' one that someone had done with pen ink and a compass in a silly moment at school! (They can go in a single session).

    I would usually qute between 12 and 15 sessions to get rid of an average tattoo - and with sessions 8 - 10 weeks apart, the process could easily go on for a couple of years.
    How to find a dentist.
    1. Get recommendations from friends/family/neighbours/etc.
    2. Once you have a short-list, VISIT the practices - dont just phone. Go on the pretext of getting a Practice Leaflet.
    3. Assess the helpfulness of the staff and the level of the facilities.
    4. Only book initial appointment when you find a place you are happy with.

    I'd agree with Toothsmith, i'm having one removed right now - well faded enough to do a big cover - and while the black is going well the pink & purple are much slower going & I think will be harder to fade. I go every 6 weeks & have done 2 sessions now, can easily see it needed 8+ more
