Regretting that tattoo you got during spring break of your senior year now that your at the young age of sixty. Well have they got options for you out there. About five options if your willing to lay some money down or give some skin up. (FYI:Each different type shows a picture right beside the explanation.)
1. The first option and the most common the laser removal. The laser removal breaks down the ink with high intense laser, after the ink is broken down it is your own immune system that takes care of the rest. This though may have to be done a few times depending on the size of the tattoo or the skin type. This can cost from $250 to $850 depending on the size if it is a larger one it may be closer to $1000. If your tattoo is not gone by the first visit you may have to go back and spend this price more than once or twice. The sessions range from one to ten!!!! It is said to feel like being hit by grease.....How exciting, I've always wanted to know what that feels like a couple times! The outcome, it may cause blisters and scarring and more than likely it will. But even though it causes scaring it is still getting the job done by getting rid of your unwanted tattoo.
2. Another option is to have Intense Pulse Light Therapy mostly done in spas. The high intense light is in a wand that is over your tattoo and it pulses on the tattoo. This is less painful and works better than laser removal. Although it works much better and faster it is more expensive. The most common is ten dollars a PULSE!!!! So how many pulses do you need on your tattoo in the session.....CRAZY!
3. Dermabrasion: If you know what this is you know this will HURT! Dermabrasion is pretty much taking a piece of sandpaper and rubbing your tattoo off! OUCH! Most people use dermabrasion for your face just to get the top layer of dead skin off but it is a gentler dermabrasion then rubbing skin off your leg, arm or wherever your tattoo is....this could be a painful experience if you are putting them in obsence places...
4. Well this could be a less expensive way to go.....lets just cut your tattoo off your body! YES! Cut the tattoo off your body and then sew up the skin remaining back together! Then you could hang your tattoo on your wall or something in memory of the skin/tattoo you used to have! Just the picture I want in my dining room while I'm eating supper. Oh and just to let us all know this may cause scarring...noted in the article! Wow thats wicked surprising, never would have guessed!
5. Of course the do-it-yourself cremes. Which may definitley not work but its worth a shot and much less expensive than the other options. Most people see an improval of the fading but it may take awhile to be completely gone. Of course you could do the skin cutting right at home so maybe that is the less expensive one....haha..
None of these sound very appealing to me! Ouch. Ten dollars a pulse? That would require a second mortgage!
