They went back over it w/ a gun first, then loosened w/ the gritty goo, let it dry to a piece of gauze and literally ripped out the color. OUCH! Thanks but no thanks! | |

| My aunt had one removed. She had a butterfly on her breast and she said it was pretty painful for her. Not sure if its just because of the area it was in. But, she had to go in for numerous treatments and over a long period of time too. It didnt look that great when she was going through the treatment either.... But, now its totally gone, cant even tell there was anything there...

| I'm bringing this thread back up to the top to see more experiences regarding tattoo removal. I am getting a tattoo removed from the top of my toe. I had my consultation today & the surgeon is confident she can remove it, but won't give me an estimate on sessions. I would just like to see who has experiences with this. I would like to know the place where the tattoo was, how big, what colors, # of sessions, & what it looks like now. Thanks,

| I've had it for 5 weeks & I've realized it's something I don't want for the rest of my life....in fact I really wish it wasn't there at all. So I'm getting it removed. It's gonna take some time & money, but it will be worth it to me to be able to wear whatever shoes I like no matter where I'm at. I guess I changed & didn't realize it until I got it.

| I had one removed. It was black ink only. My doc said black and blue can be removed, but other colors will not abosorb the laser. It took about 5 treatments. I could've never afforded it but I worked for the doctor and he'd never used the laser for tattoo removal before, so it was kind of an experiment for him too. I have a small scar in one spot because he set the laser too high and it scabbed. I'm lucky to have been able to have it done, my tattoo was a complete mistake, done on a whim after quite a bit of wine. Good Luck.

Didn't types of laser are needed to remove different colors. Certain colors only absorb certain colors of laser light. Black absorbs all the colors. yellow is really hard to remove because it bounces the laser back. My surgeon said green is really hard too.

| I don't know what part of indiana you are in, but I'm up by South Bend/Elkhart. There are only 2 places close to me that do it so the price is a little higher then the national average because there is no competition. Mine will be 250 a session & the surgeon told me to plan for 6-10 sessions. The place I am going determines price by the square centimeter, mine is 2x2 centimeters (about 1" square). I know bizzbeth's costs 150 per session, but she's lives in california where there is probably more ability to shop around for price. It's going to be expensive, but worth it because I was making my self physically sick over, I view it has paying to have a tumor removed that was making me really sick.
