Repost. Seriously, haven't you asked this before?

Benni.

 

Shitting a brick over a little band?
I have a full cuff that I aint happy with...imagine the cost and pain of having that removed and you will feel much better

Although to be honest I might just go have it covered / altered.

Does the 'laser' leave no scars or anything?

 

I remember you showing pics of it before, it's only small so why bother with the pain and expense?

 

i generally dont like tatoos but i quite like your band on you tbh maria.

 

This is the one you want to watch:

Dont look good im too much of a baby to even have a tatoo let alone get one removed lol.

 

Benni - yes i have... but i actually have my appointment booked this time!

Just watched this one!

how much is it per session and how many you need to get it taken off?

 

i hope you dont come back looking as white as jacko lol

 

It works out that the first few sessions will cost Ł90 each, after 3 or 4 sessions, it will go down to Ł70 and then for the last couple of sessions it will be Ł40.... all in all they have estimated that i will need anywhere between 8 and 13 sessions!! And you can only have a session every 6 to 8 weeks!

They say the green ink will take the longest to go!

 

shit the bed!!

how much did that tat cost in the first place?

 

Maria i have one i want removed but im shit scared of the lazer thing i will wait n see what you say first

 

so your looking at a good Ł500+ to have it removed? ive never been into tattoos but thats the best argument ive heard for not getting them in the first place. what seems like a great idea at the time might not in a few years time.

 

I think the barb wire didnt actually cost me anything, and the flowers only cost Ł30!

BUT i had the barb wire done when i was 15, and the flowers done when i was 20! We all do stooopid things when we're young!

 

My arm looks really fat in that picture!

 

i dont think thats a bad tattoo tho its nice,

 

tbh its not a minging tattoo, ive got a butterfly at top of my leg that resembles a moth, think i want a cover up tbh. Could never justify the cost of a removal!

 

Rest of ya looks pretty trim


Balls to gettin it removed, jusy get it sleeved n have done with

 

Don,t look that bad to me mariah.Keep it and save Ł500 if you want my opinion

 

Shave it off ya skin will grow back in no time

 

Sarah - you can see on this tattoo i had a cover up... the two flowers at the bottom, and they look soooo dark! If the removal on my arm goes well, i'll get the two dark bits removed here too!



Big G - i soooo very nearly went and got a half sleeve done... but then i thought it would be defeating the object of why im actually getting this one removed... i wanna be able to wear nice strappy tops without feeling concious of them!

 

Get what your saying, fair play.


Anyone get the feeling this thread is turning into a striptease

 

no... it isnt!

 

the barbwire is nice, but did a child draw the flowers ???

 

Well it should be so make it happen

 

what was the coverup before ??

 

Is it true if you get a tattoo removed the skin becomes scar tissue and will not suntan ?

 

but i would have never noticed that was a coverup until you pointed it out. Ive got a coverup and cant see what was underneath either.

I think some sort of dotted lines with stars and stuff would be nice but i dunno lol

Sarah

 

your more of a man than me maria ive got tatts but even if i hated them couldnt go through with removing them . and the cost too shocking


fair play though. and good luck getting rid

 

e30 - you will lose a little pigmentation in the skin yes, so inevitably will look paler, but it isnt permanent, eventually in time it will become all the same colour!

Ginge - i had my ex husbands name covered up!

 

is there not a chance of scaring ???? as imo if there is you will have the same issue

 

You can't really see in the photo's, the first one needs to go left a bit, and the second one needs to go up a bit.

sbd - there is a chance of the pigment in my skin being slightly lighter where i have had the treatment, but to be honest, i would prefer that to the tattoo!

Benni - sod the power sander option!

 

Cheaper and quicker.

 

Maria ,Are you going to take pictures of the different stages?

 

dont sound to bad will look like a birth mark instead of a scar by the sounds of it

 

e30, yeah ill get pics as it is healing!

sbd - exactly!

 

ouch. my tattooist is having a massive tribal half sleeve removed at the mo, its all thick black so you can imagine how many sessions thats taken. He says its pain like no other and he has alot of work.

 

Arcade Street Maria?

You'll be fine... Does take time for results so don't feel disapointed if it doesn't go quickly
