the Price of Tattoo Removal

I had a small tattoo removed. They also provided dermatology services including consultations, advice, referrals, and treatment of certain skin problems and conditions, as well as preventative care and maintenance of cosmetic procedures, peels, facelifts, etc.

The service was pretty good. I was given a lot of informed options regarding the removal of my tattoo before I ever made any decisions. I chose to go with the most popular method of tattoo removal, which is laser removal. It was exceptionally painful to have the tattoo removed, and took two separate sessions. The tattoo was about the size of a quarter, and was of a smiley face, which was pretty inoffensive, but overall pretty lame. It blistered, scabbed, and scarred when I finished the first session, and the second session was even more painful than the first. I was advised it would not be comfortable, but I never thought it would burn so badly. After all was said and done, even though the service was good and the staff was professional and courteous, I wished I had just left the lame tattoo on my shoulder!

Really consider all your options before deciding to get a tattoo removed. Obviously if it is offensive or gang-related or something like that, it may be best to have the tattoo removed. However, if it is something small and inoffensive, you are probably better off leaving the tatto where it is. While the blisters and scabs heal, it is a very painful procedure, and not one that I ever want to go through again.
