Unik Tattoo Designs & Free Tattoos

There may be many elements/reasons/possiblities, both positive and negative, which may require a tattoo removed. These may differ from man to man. Whether you want to remove it partially or completely you shall have to first consider all the available options and decide which method might be suitable for you.

Laser Removal - One of the most common methods of tattoo removal is Laser Removal. The tattoo-ink is broken in tiny fragments when laser beams/rays/pulses of highly concentrated light are focused on it. These fragements are, later, cleared away by immune system of the body. Complete treatment may require multiple/several sessions. With every treatment more and more laser penetrate to destroy the ink.

In addition to being physically painful this treatment may damage your skin, causing painful blisters and scabs that can eventually lead to scarring. Though with advanced technology it may be minimised and sometimes non-existant, but it all depends upon the situation/type and size of tattoo. Laser removal can be expensive and may need anywhere from 1-10 sessions, each costing nearly $200-$1000 per session. A large-tattoo/tattoo in color may cost thousands of dollars to remove and above all success/effectiveness of the removal still isn't guaranteed.

Intense Pulsed Light Therapy - In Intense Pulsed Light Therapy (IPL) a gel is applied to the skin, requiring treatment, and beams/rays/pulses of light are emitted on it.

It is more effective and less painful than laser therapy. It requires lesser treatment sessions. But it is far more costlier than laser therapy.

Other Medical Methods - Other methods of tattoo removal include abrasive friction of skin, cut away the skin and sewn it back. But they are rarely used because most of them are ineffective, much more painful, cause much damage to the skin, leaves scars on skin. These methods have their own problems/side effects and complications also.

Creams/Other Removals - Every one of us have seen tall claims of tattoo removal through various other methods including creams, lotions, oils and so on. Results/Success/effectiveness of such claims is yet to be proved.

Fading with Saline - Some difficult to find tattooist claims to remove/fading tattoos by applying some saline solution. It seems harmless/painless and least expensive so is worth a try.

Cover-up - An Alternative to Removal - As the name depicts if done by an experienced tattooist it may successfully cover your old tattoo with a new one reducing the previous one to be invisible.
