Tattoo removal
Discussion
Mrs trying tattoo removal so went to outfit that just disappeared on instagram video, but low and behold 4 sessions later it’s still there, anyone in here managed to get one removed in 1 or 2 visits as I can’t help thinking this they turn the power of the laser down so peeps keep visiting?
If I were 40 years younger, tattoo removal would definitely be a trade I'd want to get into. I suspect in a few years, tattoo removal parlours will outnumber tattoo parlours, and will all be busy.
I go swimming every day, and I cannot believe the utter mess men and women of all ages seem to have made of themselves with these hideous things.
But the positive side is that being 61 and not having any, I now stand out from the crowd with my individuality

This is true, can't see the appeal in body graffiti trying to be trendy or sexy ?. Neck tattoos on young people etc. If they can be covered up fine , but to just disfigure yourself to show one self and identify with all the other sheep.I go swimming every day, and I cannot believe the utter mess men and women of all ages seem to have made of themselves with these hideous things.

I've seen that laser treatment on a tv doc, and it looks really painful, it's localised charring of yer skin.
Many patients give up after 30 seconds of treatment when
told that their huge tat will need hours of lasering.
It takes many sessions because it's bloody sore
Pain to get a tattoo, and pain times ten to remove it,
I'm a believer that it doesn't enhance attractiveness or else I would get plenty
because believe me, I fervently
need attractiveness.

My thoughts exactly. More and more people seem to sport tattoos these days and the number of removals required can only increase from this point in. I’ve had a few removed, all black ink. Some a fair size, some small.
Each took at least 6 sessions to be faded to the point you either can’t see them at all or just very faint. Some took longer than that.
Got to stick with it I’m afraid, it’s an expensive and not very pleasant journey, but worth it if you regret it/don’t want it anymore.

I don’t understand why so many men think rugby shirts, bootcut jeans and shiny brown boots look good but each to their own.
My Mrs had one when we first met, a discreet bird she designed herself at uni on the top of her foot so easily covetable for work etc. Maybe 3” x3” and a fine line drawn bird.
By her mid 20s she’s sort of realised it was just a phase of her youth, a bit like bleaching her hair blonde but rather more permanent.
A local artist set up a removal studio so she went in and had (I think) three sessions, spaced out by a number of months to allow the ink to break down and be absorbed.
After the last session, it was still visible but she then fell pregnant and didn’t want to risk any more sessions so left it.
Nine years later we both know it’s still there but it is to all intents invisible to anyone who wouldn’t know it was there, any feint lines would probably be mistaken for veins it’s broken down so much. So much so she’s no intention of going back to get her last treatment even if they were still trading.
So in her case I think the results were properly worth it. She did say it was f
king painful though and this is a woman who had root canal without anaesthetic when she was breast feeding-she can handle some pain!
