How To Remove A Tattoo
by Naomi West
It is true that at a young age or even any age some of us tend to do things in the spur of the moment that we can regret for later in life. Right after I had turned 18 to get a tongue ring. Naturally I regretted it because my job didn't want me wearing it and well let's just say it wasn't the most comfortable thing to have. So I removed a week later.
Unfortunately there are some decisions and alterations that we make that are more permanent then a simple tongue ring. One of the most common things that a person does to their body (besides piercing) is getting a tattoo. This seems permanent to most people and often times when they are older they will regret this. It could be that they regret the design that they got and find it too morbid for them now that they are older. Or perhaps it is keeping them from getting the job they want. Whatever the reason is there is a way to get rid of it or at least to try.
Laser Tattoo Removal
Using a laser is the most common method to getting rid of a tattoo. How it works is that it will target the ink with special pulses of highly concentrated light beams. These beams will break the ink into very tiny fragments. The immune system will then clear away the broken fragments over time. Keep in mind that most people use this treatment on the same tattoo more then just one time. The more treatments you have the more ink will be broken. However, the more treatments you use the more you will damage your skin and will cause scarring.
This method is described as being very painful. Depending on what type of tattoo you have and how big it is you could need up to 10 treatments to remove it. Each visit can cost anywhere from $250 to $850.
Intense Pulsed Light Tattoo Therapy
IPL is one of the more newer methods and is viewed as one of the best dermal enhancers that is used. It uses high intensity light instead of laser light. They will apply a gel to the skin and will then use a wand that will emit pulses of light onto the skin with the tattoo. This method is much less painful and also more effective. You will need less treatment.
Of course the better it is the more expensive it is. It usually costs $10 per pulse. Again depending on the type of tattoo you have you might find that dollar amount adding up.
Other Tattoo Removal Options
There are other tattoo removal options out there - but many of them are either too painful or too far fetched. Many people have come up with tattoo removal creams that you use at home. Some of these products have said to help fade the tattoo without doing any physical damage to the skin. Yet, these creams are still not popular and it has not been fully determined if they can completely remove the tattoo.

Deciding to Have a Tattoo Removed : Tattoo ramoval review 2008
Deciding to Have a Tattoo Removed
by Danny Kevant
Up until recently, the best thing and the worst thing about tattoos is that they were totally permanent. When we hold strong feelings; about a person, a belief system, a political or social ideology or an opinion on what we consider beautiful, we truly believe we are going to feel that way forever. Sometimes we do feel that way forever, but then again, sometime we don't.
There are a lot of reasons people choose to have a removed. The classic one that we all hear about is the "we'll be in love forever" tattoo. If you have a girl's name tattooed on your chest and you've been broken up so long you don't even remember what color her eyes were, it's probably time to have it removed. Another one that gets removed quite a bit is the "youthful outlook" tattoo. You may have been angry and cynical in your younger years or you may have been the butterflies and fairies type, but 15 years later that outlook may seem like another lifetime and the tattoos that go with it seem like they belong to someone else.
As people who have tattoos we no longer have to live with decisions we made five, ten or even twenty years ago. We can have the tattoos we regret or those we no longer identify with removed.
The bad news is that although removing a tattoo is an option, not only is it more painful than getting the tattoo, it's also much more expensive. Laser tattoo removal, which uses pulses of light to target and break up the ink, can cost from hundreds to thousands of dollars, depending on the size of the tattoo and whether or not color was used. Multiple sessions of laser therapy are generally needed. There is usually some scarring and occasionally a lot of scarring. Improvements in technology have reduced the amount of scarring, sometimes to almost nothing, but in most cases, scarring is still a consideration.
There have been other medical forms of tattoo removal over the years, such as excision, microdermabrasion or Intense Pulsed Light Therapy (IPL) , but the scarring, the cost or the pain involved were much more than the equivalent with laser tattoo removal. Because of this, these methods aren't used much anymore other than in special circumstances.
There are tattoo removal creams on the market, however there is no widespread evidence that they work to remove a tattoo, although there can be some fading for some people. If you can't afford laser tattoo removal and just want to give tattoo removal cream a try, there are some things to keep in mind. Tattoo removal creams can include harsh or dangerous intensities of chemicals or other ingredients that can damage your skin or can cause irritation or allergic reactions in some people. If you want to try to use a tattoo removing cream, it's best to discuss it first with a dermatologist, who can point out any potential safety issues regarding the ingredients.
Just like getting a tattoo in the first place, the decision to have a tattoo removed can be a long process. By weighing your options carefully, you will make the decision that's right for you.

Make an Educated Decision - Tattoo Removal is a Long Process : LaserTattoo ramoval review 2009
Make an Educated Decision - Tattoo Removal is a Long Process
by PJ Germain
Tattoo removal is a serious process and often tattoo removal takes longer than deciding to get one and which one to get. Before you make that decision, you may wish to learn more about what tattoo removal entails. Educate yourselves now and then make an informed decision.
A Little Tattoo History and Why Tattoo Removal
Tattoos have become a part of our American culture over the past few decades. There is an estimated 10 million Americans that have at least one tattoo, and at least 44,000 tattoo studios in America. Tattoos are a great way to express yourself. Having a tattoo may have seemed like a great idea at the time, but things change. We find new loves, new jobs, and new tastes. So if the remnants of your past choice of tattoo no longer compliment your present, its time to think about tattoo removal.
One half of all people with tattoos have considered removing them. Besides the obvious reasons of removing tattoos for career enhancement, there are other reasons why many people elect to remove tattoos. As skin ages, tattoos tend to fade and deform. A tattoo that once was shown with pride may lose its attractiveness and, in some cases, even become an embarrassment. Even a change of weight can change a prized tattoo to something less than appealing.
Here are a few things that you should know about tattoo removal, before you get the tattoo:
Laser Tattoo Removal
-Lasers can get rid of most tattoos without scarring.
-It will take 6 to 12 laser treatments to completely remove a tattoo.
-The toughest body parts to remove tattoos include the ankles, hands and fingers.
-Older tattoos with less colors are easier to remove.
-Lasers, surgical excision, and dermabrasion can all be used to remove tattoos.
-Laser removal of tattoos can actually be a bit painful.
Removing a tattoo is no easy process and an important point that people should understand BEFORE getting a tattoo. It is much easier to get the tattoo than to remove it. Here are some of your tattoo removal options:
Tattoo Removal Options
-You could get your tattoo covered by a new tattoo that may need to be around 50% bigger to effectively hide the existing tattoo.
-Laser treatment is the most common method. The process contains wavelengths of light are used for different pigments. The laser beam then passes through the skin and is absorbed by the ink. Once the ink breaks down it can be removed by the body's lymphatic system.
-If the tattoo is too deep or too small for laser treatment, the skin with the pigment can be cut away and the edges sewn together.
-Dermabrasion literally rubs the tattooed skin away with an abrasive tool, over several treatments. If the tattoo is deep, a skin graft may also be necessary.
-Versapulse laser, offering a quick procedure for removing unwanted tattoos. This laser is a low energy laser which can minimize the risk of burning.
-Tat Gone ink removal. After several applications, some see a huge improvement.
Price of Tattoo Removal
Tattoo removal is definitely not cheap. A tattoo that costs $40.00 to have it put on can cost $4500.00 to have removed by laser, taking a year or more. Plus, it would leave a scar shaped like the tattoo that would not tan.
Tattoo Removal is a long process. Sometimes the process of tattoo removal is longer than the process of selecting the tattoo.

Various Ways of Removing Tattoos : Cheap Tattoo ramoval review 2008
Various Ways of Removing Tattoos
by Maria John
Thousands of individuals each year undergo tattoo removal procedures after eventually regret having them. After the initial excitement and thrill, a large number of people realize that they have committed a blunder and want the tattoo removed. Tattoo removal has now become a million dollar business. There are various ways to get rid of tattoo. Some of the tattoo removal techniques are:
Dermabrasion
The area to be treated is frozen and then the skin where the tattoo is located is rubbed or scratched with a rotary abrasive brush or diamond fraise. It removes the top few layers of skin and finally tattoo is removed as the sanding goes deeper into the skin. The procedure is very painful and often turns out to be ineffective as it causes the skin to bleed and may leave a scar. There is always the risk of infection.
Salabrasion
Salabrasion is a centuries-old technique. Anesthetic is used to numb the area to be treated. Then salt-water solution is applied onto the tattoo. The area is then abraded with a tool similar to what is used in the dermabrasion procedure. The method is effective only in the case of superficial tattoos and requires multiple treatments. This technique is successful only in fading the tattoo and not completely removing it.
Excision
Anesthetic is injected, and the tattoo is cut out of the skin using a scalpel. Thereafter the surrounding skin is sewn back together. The procedure is ideal for smaller tattoos only. Though large tattoos can also be removed but then skin grafts are often required for large tattoo removal. People who undergo this procedure are extremely prone to infection and scarring.
Cover-Ups
In this method, old tattoo is replaced by a new tattoo. Some people prefer covering-up of their tattoo rather than removing tattoos completely as covering-up tattoo is comparatively less painful, inexpensive and doesn’t take several months to treat. Some skilled tattoo artists even specialize in cover-ups and provide excellent results. However you have limited options in cover-ups. The biggest disadvantage of this method is that cover-up tattoos can be done only once.
Tattoo Removal Creams
A tattoo removal cream is the most inexpensive way to remove a tattoo yourself. Market is flooded with several creams such as TatBGone and Tattoo-off that claim to be effective in fading tattoos. There are claims that these creams may fade a tattoo after a continuous use of several months but their success at removing a tattoo altogether is highly unlikely.
Saline Tattooing
In this procedure, tattoo artists fade a tattoo by tattooing lidocaine and saline solution over unwanted tattoo. This is beneficial for older tattoos. This process can just lighten the existing tattoo but can’t remove it altogether. This procedure is relatively harmless and cheaper. Though finding a tattoo artist to perform this task is difficult.
Laser Tattoo Removal
Laser tattoo removal is considered as the best method among all to get rid of unwanted tattoos. Although it is costly and requires multiple sessions, but at the end of the day it ensures that the process is relatively painless and bloodless. In this procedure, targeted tattoo is exposed to the intense pulses of light delivered by laser. This laser energy results in destruction of the ink pigment while ensuring minimum damage to the surrounding skin.
The popularity of laser tattoo treatment is skyrocketing and lots of people are turning to this reliable method of tattoo removal.

10 Things You Should Know Before You Choose a Tattoo Artist
10 Things You Should Know Before You Choose a Tattoo Artist
by Mitch Green
The best way to choose a tattoo artist is to see examples of his or her tattoo artistry, and to personally see the environment in which they work. Word of mouth is the best thing to use when it comes to choosing a tattoo artist and only when the person giving a tattoo artist has actually experienced it first hand and has proof in the form of a tattoo this person has done for them. Thin unerring lines with no deviation, strong color which doesn't fade within the first year and a clean workplace are all really important.
Tattoo magazines are an excellent resource when it comes to choosing the best tattoo artist, often they are filled to the brim not only with pictures of actual tattoo's (idea givers!) but usually also unbiased reviews of the latest up and coming tattoo parlors, and tattoo artists who are particularly good at their profession. Tattoo magazines will also highlight some of the bad tattoo artists/parlors because they want to retain a good view of their profession. These 'baddies' can sully the whole of the tattoo industry with bad work, as a tattoo is for life, and one bad mistake can mean a very unhappy customer who might even have to go to the extremes of surgery to complete removal.
10 things you should know and look at before you choose a tattoo artist:
1. See examples of their previous work so you can see the quality for yourself.
2. Word of mouth from someone who has experienced a tattoo with them.
3. You should know exactly what you want.
4. Great communication with the tattooist means you will likely get the result you want.
5. Consult Tattoo magazines for valuable information regarding good tattooists.
6. How clean their workplace is and evidence displayed that they conform to safety standards.
7. A good tattooist will set the needle up in front of you, so you can see it is new.
8. Non-disposable equipment will be sterilized properly and in an autoclave, you should ask the tattooist if their sterilizing equipment conforms to FDA regulations.
9. A tattoo is an open wound, and must be cared for correctly. A good tattooist will provide proper and extensive aftercare advice.
10. Tattoo's are for life. You should never rush into getting one on a whim, because it could prove to be a very expensive mistake to remove.
You need to know exactly what you want in your tattoo, and need to have thought it through very much in depth before even considering going to get the job done. Once your decision is made, then you need to talk also in depth with your tattooist, to ensure they know exactly what you want done and how. If you feel as though you cannot communicate your needs precisely enough to your tattooist, then it is highly likely they won't understand exactly what you want, and you very probably will not get the result you're looking for.
Good communication is real necessity when it comes to discussing your tattoo, because just one thing needs to be misunderstood to completely ruin your tattoo forever. The thoughtful tattoo-seeker will ultimately be the most satisfied one. Never rush in!

Tattoo magazines are an excellent resource when it comes to choosing the best tattoo artist, often they are filled to the brim not only with pictures of actual tattoo's (idea givers!) but usually also unbiased reviews of the latest up and coming tattoo parlors, and tattoo artists who are particularly good at their profession. Tattoo magazines will also highlight some of the bad tattoo artists/parlors because they want to retain a good view of their profession. These 'baddies' can sully the whole of the tattoo industry with bad work, as a tattoo is for life, and one bad mistake can mean a very unhappy customer who might even have to go to the extremes of surgery to complete removal.
10 things you should know and look at before you choose a tattoo artist:
1. See examples of their previous work so you can see the quality for yourself.
2. Word of mouth from someone who has experienced a tattoo with them.
3. You should know exactly what you want.
4. Great communication with the tattooist means you will likely get the result you want.
5. Consult Tattoo magazines for valuable information regarding good tattooists.
6. How clean their workplace is and evidence displayed that they conform to safety standards.
7. A good tattooist will set the needle up in front of you, so you can see it is new.
8. Non-disposable equipment will be sterilized properly and in an autoclave, you should ask the tattooist if their sterilizing equipment conforms to FDA regulations.
9. A tattoo is an open wound, and must be cared for correctly. A good tattooist will provide proper and extensive aftercare advice.
10. Tattoo's are for life. You should never rush into getting one on a whim, because it could prove to be a very expensive mistake to remove.
You need to know exactly what you want in your tattoo, and need to have thought it through very much in depth before even considering going to get the job done. Once your decision is made, then you need to talk also in depth with your tattooist, to ensure they know exactly what you want done and how. If you feel as though you cannot communicate your needs precisely enough to your tattooist, then it is highly likely they won't understand exactly what you want, and you very probably will not get the result you're looking for.
Good communication is real necessity when it comes to discussing your tattoo, because just one thing needs to be misunderstood to completely ruin your tattoo forever. The thoughtful tattoo-seeker will ultimately be the most satisfied one. Never rush in!
Do you want your tattoo removed, the laser way? : New Tattoo Remove technique review
Do you want your tattoo removed, the laser way?
by Maria John
Laser tattoo removal
Laser tattoo removal works on the principle of selective thermolysis where the targeted tattoo is exposed to the energy delivered by laser. This energy exposure results in selective destruction of the foreign pigment while ensuring minimum damage to the surrounding skin.
Lasers can be applied to remove all sorts of tattoos be it professional, amateur, cosmetic, medicinal, and traumatic tattoos. The different colors present in the tattoos may respond differently to laser tattoo removal, but they do get removed to quite some extent. Thus laser tattoo removal presents itself as a non-invasive and effective treatment for unwanted tattoos.
The right candidate
Anyone with a need to remove an undesired tattoo can opt for laser tattoo removal. It is not the person's physical characteristics which decide the extent of removal but the colors used. Though most tattoo colors can be eliminated or lightened more or less, skin colored tattoos may undergo irreversible ink darkening. This may be the case with white, pink, flesh-toned and light brown tattoo inks. Also red ink tattoos may turn black. In these situations do ask or say yes to a test dose.
Some Facts
Although, laser tattoo removal for sure is the best solution to the unwanted tattoo woes; it has got its warts which need to be kept in mind. Some of them are:
1. Since results are color dependent total elimination is not possible, however you can be sure of dramatic lightening. Amateur black tattoos respond more quickly than professional and multicolored tattoos.
2. To get maximum benefit multiple sessions are usually required.
3. Doubly treated tattoos may require additional treatments.
4. If the tattoo is multicolored, it would require exposure to lasers of several different wavelengths because of the selective absorption characteristics of a particular color.
Types of lasers used
Q-switched Ruby Laser (QSRL)
It is a red colored laser which works best for dark blue and black inks. With tattoos in these colors, results have been exceptional. So far as red and yellow color is concerned results have been less than satisfactory. The response of green tattoos is variable. The QSRL is also effective in treating medicinal and traumatic tattoos.
Q-switched Nd:YAG
This laser works both for amateur and professional tattoos of all colors. But best results have been observed in case of black tattoos, as is the case with the ruby laser. Moreover this laser works quite well for darker skinned individuals. Also unlike QSRL, which is ineffective in case of red and yellow color, Q-switched Nd:YAG is highly effective for these colors in frequency doubled setting (532 nm).
Q-switched Alexandrite Laser
This laser is quite like QSRL in treating tattoos especially when treating green tattoos. However up to 50% of patients can experience textural changes in their skin after treatment.
Flashlamp-pumped Pulsed Dye Laser
This laser does not penetrate deep into skin because of its wavelength which is 510 nm. Hence it is not so useful when it comes to deeper tattoos. However, it is effective for the treatment of brightly colored tattoos such as those that use red, purple, and orange inks. The major side effect of this laser is bruising.
Post-procedural Care
After the procedure some swelling and blistering is commonplace, so is crusting. So don't panic they will go by themselves after some time. Do take good care of the wound to aid the healing process and to prevent infection. To ensure fast and safe healing, make use of prescribed antibiotic ointment with regular dressing changes. If you feel the need of alleviating any resultant pain, consult the physician to recommend you some pain killer. Also avoid exposure to sun to prevent tanning.
Conclusion
Laser tattoo removal has brought an effective, less painful solution to people who want to get their tattoos removed or faded.

Cool Tattoo Designs - Getting the Perfect Tattoo : Tattoo Remove review
Cool Tattoo Designs - Getting the Perfect Tattoo
by Kelly Aziz
Tattoos are a life long commitment and there is no simple tattoo eraser. Although if things go seriously wrong, you can get laser removal - it is painful and expensive. It is your responsibility to get the results you desire and thus you should do your homework in order to get a tattoo that is perfect for you.
Here are 6 things to consider when getting your tattoo:
1. Avoid spur of the moment tattoos.
Sometimes it is great to be impulsive, but tattoos are permanent - it is something you shouldn't take lightly. Quick decisions can lead to a lifetime of regret and that poorly thought out tattoo design you convinced yourself you loved, will stare back at you for a lifetime. So thus you should avoid getting one in hast.
2. Pressure.
This leads on from point one. Don't get a tattoo under pressure. When going to get one, you should really have your design ready or have some idea of the type of tattoo you want. You don't want to go into a tattoo parlour and feel under pressure for selecting one. You will only leave with a tattoo you are mildly satisfied with and over time will wish you never got! This includes allowing your friends to pressure you into a decision. .
3. Choosing your design.
Do not take this step lightly. Make sure this is your choice and no one elses and don't compromise on your tattoo design. It should be something you absolutely love and are completely satisfied with - afterall it will be on you for a very long time.
Don't go straight to a tattoo parlour and select a design from their selection - you don't have to do this and this may make you feel under pressure with picking one. Selecting a tattoo online will free you from this pressure. Once you have your design you can print off and show your tattooist, who will appreciate you being prepared.
4. Testing out your design.
Not only is the design important, but size can also be a major factor. You don't want the perfect design but wishing you had gotten it slightly bigger/smaller. It does happen. Also what about location? You may not be able to pick this without first seeing it on. There are online services that offer stencils, where you can try out your design first. These are well worth looking into, because you don't want to make a huge mistake
5. Picking your tattoo artist.
You should try and pick an artist you feel comfortable with and trust. There are many talented artists out there but some may only work with stencils, as opposed to free hand. If you can't provide a stencil (although there are many services online where you can), you may want to try and find someone who can draw your design free hand from a picture.
6. On the day.
Make sure you do not drink alcohol 24 hours before and are well rested. Make sure you eat a good breakfast/lunch so you aren't hungry. You want to be relaxed and comfortable during the process. You want your tattooist to be able to concentrate on your tattoo and on doing a good job. If you tense up or complain about the pain it is likely to have a negative effect on your tattoo - so try to remain calm and relaxed. You want to make sure it comes out perfect!

Tattoo Removal Los Angeles Is A Low-risk, Outpatient Procedure : Tattoo ramoval review 2008
Tattoo Removal Los Angeles Is A Low-risk, Outpatient Procedure
by Sveinung Skoglund
People who want to get rid of tattoos in Los Angeles are able to receive a complimentary consultation with the doctor directly. No matter what tattoo removal doctor one chooses, they should always make sure they are seeing doctors who practice dermatology and have a practice limited to treatment and diseases of the skin, hair & nails. The doctors in Los Angeles are uniquely qualified in this way to examine and treat the ink on ones skin.
This is the method for removing tattoos used in Los Angeles: A laser beam is shone on the tattoo for a split second and passes with no ill effects through the outermost layer of skin, affecting just the ink. The beam causes the ink to dissolve so that the body may simply absorb it.
Los Angeles process tattoo removal does not happen immediately. Because of the laser rays, the ink exposed to the rays will break down and the body's immune system will remove it subsequently. You have to repeat the process till the tattoo is removed completely. It may take weeks for its removal.
Many of the tattoos take between 5 to 15 treatments to remove the tattoo completely. However, there are certain tattoos which can be removed in a shorter period, and some which may take longer, and hence will require more sessions. This is because it is according to the person's body, that the breakdown of ink takes place. Hence the removal process differs from person to person.
If you ever got snapped with a rubber band than you will know the pain of laser tattoo removal is minimal. It is not a high risk procedure, and is not as painful as getting a tattoo.
Prior to your treatment, doctors numb the area with a high power topical anesthetic cream. As they treat the area, they cool the overlying skin with a skin cooler, resulting in additional anesthesia. This combination of topical anesthesia and cooling air makes the procedure as comfortable as possible. Patients talk wildly about this excellent new cooling system.
Tattoo grapes vine - vines and ivy are traditionally a prominent feature in many tattoo designs. They are often mixed and intertwined with other natural or floral art, but sometimes appear on their own. Vines are popular in tattoos primarily because of their shape - they can be draped, twisted or coiled along the skin. Leaves and tendrils lend extraordinary freedom to both the artist and the tattoo recipient. However, temporary tattoos still may be the best option for someone looking into a tattoo - they are cheaper and easily removable.

Tattoo Removal Options : Tattoo Remove Tattoo ramoval review 2008
Tattoo Removal Options
by Diane Nilan
The removal of a tattoo is often thought of as being a very painful process. Although the process may have been very painful in the past, the technology of today offers methods of removing tattoos. Currently, there are two options to remove tattoos that are rapidly becoming more and more popular ��" laser technology and light based technology.
Both surgeries used light energy to destroy the ink in the tattoo. The ink in the tattoo will absorb the energy of the light, breaking it up. Once the ink starts to break up, it can easily be passed through and out of your body through filtering. In most cases this is extremely safe, as the ink is broken down into micro size to where it can easily pass through the body with no complications.
The process is actually similar to the surgery in which hair is removed. The surgeon or doctor who performs the surgery will hold a wand to the skin that is being treated. As he does this, the pulses of light are aimed at the tattoo, breaking up the ink. The wand is normally held right up against the tattoo, as this makes the pulses of light much more effective.
Normally, the feeling that you’ll experience is best described as an elastic or rubber band flicking constantly against your skin. If the tattoo is big, the pain could certainly be a bit more intense. The area where the tattoo is at is also important, as sensitive areas may cause you quite a bit of pain and discomfort. If the area in which you have the tattoo doesn’t have a lot of muscle or tissue, you’ll more than likely want to be numbed as much as possible before starting the procedure.
Both laser and light based treatments are somewhat similar. With both tattoo removal procedures, the doctor that is doing the procedure will always apply a cooling gel to the tattoo area that is being treated to cool the skin and conduct the energy of the light. This cooling gel helps to draw the light, and at the same time protect your skin. The gel will feel cool to the touch, although it will help your skin when the light pulses start to break the ink apart.
If you’ve been thinking about having a tattoo removed you should consider both light and laser based procedures. Keep in mind that they are both expensive, and both impose risks. Depending on how big your tattoo is and what the procedure involves, you may need to spend a night or two in the hospital. Even though both procedures do offer ways to have your tattoo removed, you’ll need to think long and hard before you make a final decision.

Things To Expect From Tattoo Removal : Tatttoo removed review
Things To Expect From Tattoo Removal
by Diane Nilan
At some point or another or for various reasons, people often make the decision to get their tattoo removed. In some cases the tattoo will reflect a lost love and sometimes the tattoo will be something that the individual doesn’t want anymore. Whatever the cause may be, getting a tattoo removed is a decision that takes quite of bit of time and thought.
If you’ve been thinking about getting a tattoo removed, you’ll need to start out by making an appointment with a local doctor or dermatologist and discuss your options. Your doctor will look over the tattoo, the condition of the tattoo, and which methods he thinks will work best for the removal.
All methods of tattoo removal do require surgery, which in itself will carry along risks and side effects. Even though you may be getting a simple surgery, there may be complications with it as well. For this very reason, you should always consider getting a tattoo removed very carefully. It’s very important that you be extremely sure you want the tattoo removed before you proceed with any type of tattoo removal surgery.
Most often times your doctor or dermatologist will be able to explain to you step by step how the surgery works, how long it will take to complete, and the type of recovery that you can expect. As you probably already know, the surgery site will be quite tender for a long period of time and will more than likely result in scarring. As time goes by however, the scarring will tend to lessen eventually to the point where it isn’t all that visible.
The answer to scarring however, all depends on the tattoo’s size. If you have a large tattoo, the scarring result will be more than that of a smaller tattoo. Depending on where you have the tattoo that you want removed, you may notice quite a bit of pain. Certain areas of the body, such as the chest and elbows are more sensitive than other areas of the body.
Once you and your doctor have agreed on a decision to remove the tattoo, you’ll be given an appointment time for the surgery. It may or may not be performed as outpatient surgery; it all depends on your health and any complications that may arise. In most cases, those that had tattoo removal surgery are held overnight and observed before being allowed to go home. Before you have the surgery, you should always speak to your surgeon and find out if there are any known risks associated with your procedure.
As many know, the costs of getting a tattoo removed can be very expensive. If the tattoo is a large one, the expenses can be outrageous. Most insurance companies won’t pay for these costs unless there is a medial or health reason involved. With insurance not paying for the removal of the tattoo, you’ll need to pay costs out of pocket. You should always talk to your doctor and make payment arrangements before you have the surgery. Once they are approved, you shouldn’t have anything to worry about in terms of costs.
Getting a tattoo removed can be expensive, painful, and impose risks that you’ll need to think about. Even though you can get a tattoo removed, many wonder if it’s worth it. The best way to deal with tattoos and their removal â€" is to avoid getting them in the first place â€" especially if there is any doubt in your mind that you may not want them later on.

Want To Get That Tattoo Removed? : New Tattoo Remove technique Tattoo ramoval review 2008
Want To Get That Tattoo Removed?
by Maria John
People get tattoos for any reason, and sometimes for no reason. We get tattoos express your love, to express one's own self, as a fan or admirer of some idol, under peer pressure, to be up with the Jones'es or maybe just because its hip to get one.
Whatever the case is, many of us in adult life end up regretting this youthful adventure. It could be because the tattoo reminds you of a broken love relationship or may be that visible tattoo is coming in your way of getting good job or joining a coveted university. In other words, you desperately need to get it out of your way, but the very memory of the painful procedure you went through to get it done gives you cold feet.
There are several ways a person can undo a tattoo or at least make it less visible. All, barring one, are very painful and cumbersome. But before discussing ways to remove tattoos, let's first understand what is a tattoo.
What is a Tattoo
A tattoo, or dermal pigmentation, as the term self explains is a mark made on the skin by inserting pigment into the skin. It is accomplished by injecting this pigment into small deep holes made in the skin. Tattoos made this way are relatively permanent.
Apart from permanent tattoos there are also temporary tattoos. They are more like body sticker, similar to a decal. Temporary tattoos are made on the skin by transferring the design on the skin, rather than inside the skin, using water. Temporary tattoos are waterproof, but can be removed with oil-based creams, and are intended to last only a few days.
Methods of Tattoo Removal
There are several methods of tattoo removal available today showing variable performance, result wise and procedure wise. It is the size of the tattoo, its location, and the length of time it has been on the skin which make the physician decide upon the method to be used. The patient's healing prowess also plays its part in deciding the method to be used.
Let's now discuss the methods.
Surgical Method
It is one of the most popular methods around, especially when the dyed area is small. The major advantage here is the removal of the entire tattoo in one go, particularly if it is small tattoo. Larger tattoos, however, require multiple surgical sessions where the centre of a tattoo is removed first followed by removal of sides at a later date.
The surgical removal process involves an injection of a local anesthetic to numb the area after which the tattoo is removed. The edges are then brought together and sutured.
With this procedure, there is minimal bleeding which is easily controlled with electrocautery. In some cases involving large tattoos, a skin graft taken from another part of the body may be necessary.
Rubbing the tattoo off
In this method, the tattoo is literally scrapped off. It is quite painful and cumbersome procedure but practiced nonetheless. There are two ways by which a tattoo is rubbed off the skin:
* Dermabrasion
This procedure of tattoo removal involves spraying of a portion of the tattoo with a freezing solution, after which that part is sanded with a rotary abrasive instrument causing the skin to peel. Because some bleeding is bound to occur, a dressing is immediately applied to the area.
* Salabrasion
This is an age old method of tattoo removal. As with the other methods, a local anesthetic is used on and around the tattooed area after which a solution of ordinary tap water dipped in table salt is applied. An abrading apparatus such as the one used with dermabrasion, or an even simpler device such as a wooden block wrapped in gauze, is used to vigorously abrade the area. When the area becomes deep red in color, a dressing is applied.
Laser
Laser tattoo removal is considered as the best of the solutions available. Though it is costly and might require multiple sessions, it ensures that tattoo removal is relatively pain free and blood free. Also the results have been quite encouraging and tattoos have been either totally removed or there were dramatic fading.
Laser tattoo removal procedure involves exposing the tattoo to the pulses of light from the laser, usually Q-switched Nd:Yag, Q-switched Alexandrite and the Q-switched Ruby. This exposure breaks up the tattoo pigment, which are removed from the body by the scavenger cells. More than one treatment is usually necessary to remove the entire tattoo.

People get tattoos for any reason, and sometimes for no reason. We get tattoos express your love, to express one's own self, as a fan or admirer of some idol, under peer pressure, to be up with the Jones'es or maybe just because its hip to get one.
Whatever the case is, many of us in adult life end up regretting this youthful adventure. It could be because the tattoo reminds you of a broken love relationship or may be that visible tattoo is coming in your way of getting good job or joining a coveted university. In other words, you desperately need to get it out of your way, but the very memory of the painful procedure you went through to get it done gives you cold feet.
There are several ways a person can undo a tattoo or at least make it less visible. All, barring one, are very painful and cumbersome. But before discussing ways to remove tattoos, let's first understand what is a tattoo.
What is a Tattoo
A tattoo, or dermal pigmentation, as the term self explains is a mark made on the skin by inserting pigment into the skin. It is accomplished by injecting this pigment into small deep holes made in the skin. Tattoos made this way are relatively permanent.
Apart from permanent tattoos there are also temporary tattoos. They are more like body sticker, similar to a decal. Temporary tattoos are made on the skin by transferring the design on the skin, rather than inside the skin, using water. Temporary tattoos are waterproof, but can be removed with oil-based creams, and are intended to last only a few days.
Methods of Tattoo Removal
There are several methods of tattoo removal available today showing variable performance, result wise and procedure wise. It is the size of the tattoo, its location, and the length of time it has been on the skin which make the physician decide upon the method to be used. The patient's healing prowess also plays its part in deciding the method to be used.
Let's now discuss the methods.
Surgical Method
It is one of the most popular methods around, especially when the dyed area is small. The major advantage here is the removal of the entire tattoo in one go, particularly if it is small tattoo. Larger tattoos, however, require multiple surgical sessions where the centre of a tattoo is removed first followed by removal of sides at a later date.
The surgical removal process involves an injection of a local anesthetic to numb the area after which the tattoo is removed. The edges are then brought together and sutured.
With this procedure, there is minimal bleeding which is easily controlled with electrocautery. In some cases involving large tattoos, a skin graft taken from another part of the body may be necessary.

Should I Make My Own Tattoo Machine?
by Andy Mannion
There are many articles on the internet on how to make your own tattoo machine or gun using everyday household supplies. Electric toothbrushes ,electric guitar strings and propelling pencils are just a few of the items that have been used in home design devices. Why pay over the top priced tattoo parlour prices or buy new professional tattoo equipment when a DIY tattoo gun can be manufactured so economically? However, before you go rushing off to raid the kitchen draws serious consideration should be given to long term consequences and hidden danger that go hand in hand with home made tattoo machines.
With home made tattoo machines the lack of tuning capability makes the depth of penetration a case of trial and error. There is a high risk of going through too many skin layers causing scarring below the tattoo. Apart from the associated pain the end result is a tattoo permanently raised off the skin and unsightly.
Use a homemade tattoo machine and the chances you will also use cheap inks which may contain harmful chemicals that can result in severe allergic reactions.
Over a 1 hour tattoo sitting a tattoo machine punctures the skin 180,000 times with each hole an average depth of 1/32 of an inch. Each of these minor wounds is an open invitation to infection and such as AIDS, Hepatitis B, Hepatitis C, tetanus, tuberculosis and about any other blood-borne disease. Never has the need for total hygiene and sterilization been so critical. Think of it this way, Would you sit in a dentist chair knowing that the drill and instruments hadn’t been properly sterilised after just being used on the previous patient? Don’t be fooled by backstreet sterilization techniques. If it was as simple as heating a dirty needle under a flame and then cleaning in down with alcohol the sterilization equipment manufacturers would have gone out of business years ago.
It is impossible to achieve high quality tattoo designs with a home made machine. Once the initial novelty factor has worn off the chances are that will be left with an embarrassing reminder that will possibly mark you for the rest of your life. It is little wonder that many tattooist specialise on cover up work of tattoo designs produced on homemade tattoo equipment and more money is being spent on tattoo laser removal treatments than ever before.
The recommendation is that homemade tattoo machines should be avoided like the plague. Find yourself a tattoo design that you like visit a reputable tattoo parlour and leave it to the professionals. ?
