About Ł70 for a sitting, and you need between 6-7 sittings...

there is a place in northampton that removes tattoos by re-tattooing them

http://www.bodification.co.uk/frame.html

look under services then e-raze

The e-raze Rejuvi tattoo removal system is a unique method of tattoo ink extraction which is designed to completely remove your tattoo ink pigments from the body. The treatment has been extensively researched, developed and tested for over ten years, and in use worldwide for over five years.

might help

the trick here is never to have one most people live to regret it
it's not like decorating your lounge you can't just steam the pattern off or replaster a tatoo
best to look for a boy friend with the same name then roflol

I believe getting it done by laser is very painful a friend of mine is having it done and it looks horrible,the tat he had was shite but ide rather a shite tat than what hes got now.Youre better off getting it covered with another one.

i dont think it will remove it all

end of the day if you had say a tatto but without the ink its going to leave the pattern in a scar, so i carnt see the above giving you skin like that again as if a tattoo was never there

something just doesnt seem rite with the pics above as the skin will not heal like that ever again once its scarred

i was talking to the guy that does my stuff and he says that people have been doing it for years with soapy water?? I thought he was joking but he explained that all they do is redo the tattoo without any ink and use soapy water, it need to be done a few times but the needles get down to the ink and the soapy water draws out the ink. He did warn me though that some pigments will not come out, but the rest will! Very cheap alternative that apparently works.......

Got to love Birds logic:
I made a mistake, I got a tattoo, it looked ok at the time but doesnt now.
I know, I'll cover it up with a bigger one that I dont actually want either, just to get rid of it


You ever swallowed a spider?

Maria - There is a place in Ipswich opposite the East Anglian Daily Times office that does removal. My brother is in the process of having one done. Costs Ł75 a time and usually takes 7-8 sessions to completely remove it. They start with the zapper fairly weak the wack it upto full by the 4th/5th session... He said it hurt quite a lot but it's 80% gone now (he's done 6 sessions) and he's quite happy!

So the one you have you LOVED first of all, and now the one you dont actually want now you LOVE too, and its much bigger.

So in ten years time are you going to LOVE it then?


Just get rid of the fucking thing, they look shit on birds anyway!

anything you can cover up or is out of the way is ok, but sleeves arent exactly going to look classy when you are in a litte vest top or whatever in the summer.

the ones i have seen look worse, i,e blotchy and scared, and would have looked better left, buy obviously technology has progressed over the years.

i would see some in the flesh from a specific place, rather than reading and seeing pictures on the net, there hardly going to put up pictures of bad removals.

The theory on those websites is that hte laser breaks down the ink but doesnt burn the skin

no idea if thats true or not though, as never had it done!
