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?

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!

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!

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!

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!

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

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!

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!

Arcade Street Maria?

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