Tattoos always seem like a good idea when you get them, but if you start regretting your ink later on, you might want to consider laser tattoo removal. According to the Strategic Market Research group, 28.6% of women and 29.7% of men will eventually want to get rid of a tattoo at some point. Here are a few frequently asked questions about tattoo removal.
Is It Expensive?
The cost of tattoo removal can be a big factor for some people. This detail may even influence whether or not they wind up getting tattoo removal at all. You should be aware that having a tattoo removed will cost about 10 times the price it cost to have it applied. This is one of the reasons you should give careful consideration to any tattoos you choose to have applied to your body. If you are thinking about laser tattoo removal, be sure to discuss the price with the facility in detail so that you haven’t left with any unpleasant surprises.
How Long Does Laser Tattoo Removal Take?
This is another important concern many people have. You should understand that tattoo removal is not a one-step process. You will need to undergo several treatments before the tattoo is effectively removed from your body. It is also often necessary to space out the treatments. In some cases, you may even need to wait six weeks between treatments. This time is necessary to allow the immune system to flush out the ink. If you have treatments too close together, you could get less than ideal results.

Does Removal Hurt?
There is some debate over how much tattoo removal hurts or if it hurts at all. This is really subjective to the individual person. It is safe to say that tattoo removal will feel about the same as tattoo application. For some people application is uncomfortable and for others, it is not uncomfortable at all. If you did not feel much pain having your tattoo applied, then having it removed should not be a problem.
