Tattoo Removal

[LadyDeliah]

Has anyone done this or have any insight on the best procedures and places to get it done?

[Alan Medic]

Looks like a lot of people would like to know the answer to your question. I'm just nosey. What do you want removed and why? I have the impression rightly or wrongly that people have these done when they are under the influence of something or other and I don't see why you would if not. Being a Lady of course you don't have to answer.

[LadyDeliah]

Lol, no, I just want a bit of a tattoo removed because it was done wrong. I like my tattoos, even the ones I was drunk for 😁

As far as I know, you'd still be left with visible scarring from the removal, unless technology has improved and now leaves 'no trace'? Otherwise, is it feasible to add to the original design or incorporate into something else and therefore ink over the mistake?

[LadyDeliah]

Lasers are supposed to remove tattoos without scarring. The bit that needs correcting can't be inked over though unfortunately.

I have heard that there are a few different types of laser, so I'm hoping people might have experience of the different types.

Hmmm, tbread carefully LD. As a topneye surgeon whonused to lecture me once said, "lasers by their very definition burn and destroy things". They're not rubbing out the ink, they're burning it away, and that is likely to keave a trace.

My dad had an anchor on his forearm lasered off. The laser did a good job of removing the ink from the tattoo and didn't scar his skin. But where they lasered it's a few shades lighter than the rest of his skin and doesn't tan in the same way so he now has a "ghost" anchor on his arm. It's not glaringly obvious but you can see it.

I've had laser treatment at The Private Clinic (Harley St). It was not tattoo removal, but they are a fairly large laser clinic. Might be worth looking them up? xx

[LadyDeliah]

Thanks everyone. I might try to do a bit more research before I go for it.

Umm, laser removal doesn't scar if done well and you can tattoo over it again! Your tattooist should know places as they can usually recommend, some parlors even do it now :)

People just need to know that any new partner is the right one for them

before they have their name inked across their parts.

Old fella I used to know in Liverpool had "Rita" tattooed on his arm along with arrow pierced heart. I commented that it was very nice, given that his wife was a Rita.

Turned out he'd gotten lucky, the tat was tribute to his "tart" from his 20s. He met his wife Rita many years later and chalked it up as a bit of a result.

My scouse mate Kenny had "Shankley" tattoed on his arm. Yup, with a E.

So you had a tattoo messed up. You're going to have laser removal and then.... another tattoo? Please at least get someone different to do the tat this time.

[LadyDeliah]

Thanks for your patronising input rahrahrah, most useful.

[Earl Aelfheah]

Sorry, but I just don't get tattoos. You're right though, it's up to you.

I had a tattoo removed from my forearm using a laser a few years ago. It was done at SKIN clinic (or something similar) and took 3 visits. It actually hurt more than the original work but was worth it to remove a slightly ridiculous tattoo!

Thanks, for the suggestions. I'll post an update when I finally get it done.

Does anyone know such tattoos http://flowertattooideas.com/50-watercolor-poppy-tattoos/ are well removed by laser?

[Jam1e12]

I'm sorry for bumping this old discussion, but I really just want this to be know in the hopes it helps someone else.

I needed this advice years, and years, and years ago!

I have gone through a laser tattoo removal in East Dulwich and I would absolutely NOT recommend anyone to do it :|

It has messed me up for life both physically and financially.

If you go through the usual laser removal methods. Which I, again, do not recommend, not only that it will leave marks on your skin, so in reality, the tattoo will still be kind of visible if you know where to look. It is a very long process. And to be honest, very costly.

I had a hook up from a friend, and I have only paid 4000$ for 12 sessions. Which is a whole lot of money, but if I had to pay the full price, I would spend at least 6500$.

This also depends on where do you live, but in general, it is costly. And it took ages to finish, they have recommended me at max one session per month. So I have ended up getting rid of this tattoo for more than a year and a half, and to be honest, the tattoo was quite small. It was significant as a can of coke. If I had a more massive tattoo, it would take a longer time and more session, which means more $$.

Laserless tattoo removal is where it's at.

Unfortunately, at the time of my tattoo removal, I did not know this, I know about this only thanks to my brother, which bought this program last year.

This has a few pros and few cons. It works, and he was able to do it himself. Well, you have to do it yourself or ask someone to do it for you.

It is a long process, but I believe he has spent just a couple bucks on this ebook. It is definitely way cheaper than any tattoo removal cream I have bought.

And how long it will take to remove the tattoo with this method varies from person to person, their age and their skin. My brother got rid of his tattoo with in four months, I believe, and his tattoo was at least twice as big mine was.

I am not sure, if he were supposed to do something to treat it every day, I would have to call him about it, but hey it works and out of all of these options it is the cheapest one and yes you might spend more time on this than on laser removal, but your tattoo will be gone sooner than if you would go with the laser removal option.

To be honest, I do not know that many things about this, but I just did a quick google search and here is a good review of it: https://laserlesstattooremovalkit.com/dorian-daviss-laserless-tattoo-removal-guide-review/

To my knowledge, this is the only 100% natural option out here in 2019 to get rid of your tattoos.

I really hope this helps someone out there. Please save your money and your lovely skin and only use natural alternatives!

If I'm able to just help one (1) person not to commit the same mistakes I've made and to change their mind I'll die a happy man. Amen.

Thanks for that Nabil. If it's 100% natural then that sounds good to me.

The people of East Dulwich salute you.
