Anyone gone through laser tattoo removal?? I recently got 2 tattoos while going through a very hard time... It was an emotional and rebellious period and I have since come to regret my decisions. They are both just black ink outlines (one of a dove and the other just words in cursive) I was wondering if the laser treatments are very successful... and about how much they cost. I DO have an appointment on Monday to see a specialist and to get an estimate of price but what I really want to hear about it someone else's actual experience and whether or not it yields great results. Thank you ladies!!!!!!!!!! |
im not sure how much it really costs, but my brother had to have his tattoo removed to be a police officer, he has done a total of i believe 6 treatments/sessions and i think he has a couple to go. |

BUt I have no clue about this stuff!! How big was his tattoo? Was it colored in? My dove is about the size of a half dollar (maybe a little smaller) nad the cursive is rather small as well... Aggg! haha I def know that my daughter/son is getting a lecture on tattoos and to wait UNTIL YOUR ABSOLUTELY CERTAIN and are in the right frame of mind before you get one. Haha... I really wasn't. Stress/life/family problems really clouded my conscious at the time. Arg. haha Well thanks for the comment-- Anyone else have any other info? |
I know that the black outline ink is the thickest and hardest to get off. From what I've heard, the laser treatment is painful.:( They've been advertising this stuff on the radio--"Wrecking Ball"--that is some kind of lotion. You may could fade it out alot and then only have a few laser treatments done...:) |

I have done a lot of research and found that black and red fade the quickest while bright colors such as yellow and green take longer... So I'm just wondering where you heard this? Thank you!!!!!!!!!!! |
My cousin is in the process of getting one of hers removed. Her's is a lot bigger, though..her whole bicep..it was some lady holding a gun (don't ask! haha). She's been through a couple of sessions..and she said it was INCREDIBLY painful...you can hear and smell it happening.. Its also very costly..good luck to you! I hope I didn't scare you off! Her red has faded the quickest..Im not sure about the black, though.. |
i've been wondering about this too. I have a black cat that came out all crappy on my right shoulder and i want to either get rid of it or cover it up with another. its just in a weird position that i don't think a cover-up would look good unless it was oddly shaped. let me know what you find out |
I have 2 tattoos. One is red and black. The other is orange/yellow/red/black. If the tattoo artist knows what they're doing, black won't fade. My red and black tattoo is just as bright and vibrant as it was when I got it over 2 years ago. My other one has faded badly, especially the orange and yellow. I've had it touched up once and think it's ready to be done again. |

And yes- I know it's painful. I wasn't expecting this to be easy.... but I have a very high tolerance for pain. Getting the tattoo (one on my hip and one on my foot) didn't bother me. I know this will be 10X worse... but I'm pretty tough hahaha I know I'm refuting a lot of what you guys are saying... it's just that I've done a lot of research and I'm wanting to clarify what I've heard from what is true (or at least explained on all the laser tattoo sites I've been to) But Please--- keep up with the comments! I'm hoping to hear of some more first hand experiences! Thank you!!!! |
Anyone else? I'm researching like crazy and I just want to get this whole process started and know what to expect |
I haven't, i must hurt! I don't even have a tattoo, when i was younger i wanted to get one, a tiny one but got over it cause who knows if i will like it in 20 yrs |
I wish I didnt get my tattoos in a way..but in another way they represent something to me also...I wont ever get them removed..what about getting them covered over?? Something special..maybe?? lol Dawn |
