Important Things to Note about Tattoo Laser Removal
Tattoo laser removal is costly
The bill for tattoo removal by laser may be quite expensive for an average-income earner to afford. This is because the bill for each session can be hundreds of dollars. According to The American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery (ASAPS), the average cost of tattoo laser removal by surgery per session is $463.

A good doctor
It would be a horrible aftermath if your laser tattoo removal is done by a quack. So, it is advisable to get a board-certified professional who been in the field for years and has gained experience. If a doctor uses an outdated heat laser, it could end up burning and scaring your skin. Get a dermatologist who comes highly recommended and where everything would be done under medical supervision. You can find out from friends, editors, other reliable platforms on getting a professional to do your laser tattoo removal.

The procedure can be painful
Tattoo laser removal can be sort of painful, particularly when the lidocaine receives the laser. So, you have to mentally prepare yourself to withstand some level of pain, howbeit for a short time, during each session. Your doctor wil take before photos, and then clean the area to be lasered, then ice and bandage the area.

It can take a very long time for tattoos to vanish
Some persons who haven’t undergone a tattoo laser removal before may feel the tattoos will just disappear after one session. Some persons report having seven or more sessions. The reason why tattoos take long to disappear is due to the fact that each time the tattoo undergoes the laser heat, particles are broken down and assimilated by the body’s immune system. You will then have to wait for about eight weeks for the regeneration period to elapse before going for another session. Then after the next session, the laser still breaks down new particles, and you will still have to wait again for another eight weeks. So, it can take a year or more for the tattoo(s) to completely vanish.

There’s pain after tattoo laser removal
You will feel some level of pain while the process is ongoing, and a lot more after the tattoo laser removal. The discomfort may last up to a week. The lasered areas will be sore and blister, you will need to cover it using a salve and a bandage for a few days. The post-operative care tends to lessen with each laser session because there’s a smaller amount ink reacting to the laser.

Your ink can be removed, no matter how dense
Regardless of the type of ink used for your tattoo, be it colored or not, and no matter how dense it is, all inks can be removed using laser treatment. Therefore, people with green, red, and yellow tattoos need not worry because with PicoSure technology, you can remove all colours. However, it is essential to note that the denser your ink is, the more sessions you'll need to undergo.

You can opt to lighten ink
Some persons who wish to remove their tattoos but are unable to afford the cost of the multiple sessions can simple choose to lighten the ink to make it less visible and have some good cover-up work done.

There might be white patches or scars left behind
In some cases, removing your tattoos entirely may leave behind white patches or scars after the treatment. The risks may be greater when you are unfortunate enough to be treated by a quack. Though your skin pigment can be lightened.

Basic requirements after Tattoo laser removal
After your laser removal procedure, you may need things like bandages, aquaphor, and loose clothes that don’t come in contact with the tattoo. Also, it would help to apply a thin covering of antibiotic ointment or healing moisturizer thrice daily, or as recommended by your doctor.

Apart from the laser removal method, other procedures are also available that can be used to remove tattoos. These includes dermabrasion, cover up, chemical peeling, waterjet cutting, liquid tattoo removal, and excision. Most of these methods comes with their own backlog of drawbacks and may not really be as seemly as laser removal method.

You get one before?

So you know even look at the colours ofthe skin? abi na the tattoo removal affect the colour plus?

It's not a one time procedure, you need to do at least 3 seasons before the ink can be removed and it sometimes involves scarring and permanently botched skin.

It doesn't have repercussions?

I'll like to tattoo my late brother's name on my wrist but I doubt my profession will allow it.
Sigh.

I doubt if we have such advanced laser technology in this part of the world. Wrist tatoo is one that can be easily concealed, a number of employers/interviewers don't see much of a big deal in tattoos like before (at least in the private sector).

May your brother continue to RIP

It Would Take 6ix9ine Over a Year to Get Rid of His Tattoos, According to Removal Specialist

To put it lightly, there is nothing glamorous about this procedure. For 6ix9ine especially, this process could be expensive, painful, and time-consuming.

"You're looking at a year-long process, minimum," Rheel says. "That's why a witness protection program for this gentleman might be a little tricky, unless he gets a really good concealer. Plenty of dancers and models get really great makeup that covers up their tattoos while they're undergoing removal."

Rheel explains that the removal process is uncomfortable and 6ix9ine would see cosmetic side effects. "It's going to look like he's got the plague," she says. "You look like you're infected. You're red, you're itchy, inflamed, blistered. Lasers are no joke."

Rheel gave Complex her expert opinion on how long 6ix9ine’s tattoo removal would take, what he would look like, and a rough estimate of how much it would cost. The interview, lightly edited for clarity and length, is below.

What is he looking at in terms of cost?
That varies from practitioner to practitioner, but where we usually end up is $100 per square inch per treatment. The funny thing is that the reason we don't make tons of money on tattoo removal is because people don't want to come in and remove sleeves or giant back pieces. This guy would pay my rent for the year. I mean, my God. For him, just to get rid of this 69: I'm thinking this is three inches down, two inches across on both sides. So you're looking at 10 inches. [That’s] $1,000 a treatment just to get rid of the six-nine. This little clown face: See now, with that, I couldn't do the red, but the black I could do, and I would probably charge $200 for that. Then this neck piece, that would be the moneymaker. I would charge $1,500, at least, per treatment, and he might need 10 treatments.

So it could cost him over $100,000 when you factor in the rest of his body?
Well, let's see. Fifteen hundred dollars times 15. You're looking at $22,000 just for [his face and neck region]. This guy’s easily $100,000. I mean, they're all over his hands. I'm looking at his abdomen. They're all over his arms, too. All these little 69s on the arms aren’t easy, either. I'd go blind after doing one session. It would have to be so meticulous and so concentrated. That's a lot of work on my end. We would spend two hours, I would think. Also, I'd have to break this up because it's intense. People can't sit through a two-hour tattoo removal session. So this guy would have to come in over a number of treatments. One hundred thousand dollars is not obscene. It's not out of the realm of possibility for something like this. But let's say we even wanted to add on the laser resurfacing, that would help regenerate the cells to eliminate that ghost tattoo. You're talking another $50,000.

Hmm..
I heard there's a guy in Nigeria specialized in this, I don't know how true it is.
You know Africa's take on tattoo. I don't know if it'll make it to the newsroom with a tattoo lol.

Thank you Mami.

Anita Joseph should visit this place. The person that did hers does not have fear of God.

Since it is to immortalize him, you can put it where it wouldn't be visible to all.

So I'm not the only one who feels this way concerning her tattoo?
It makes me cringe.

Amen.

I want it to be at my wrist, just small and cute but I guess people will still see. If my dad sees he'll disown me again.

Yes Bizzyaki, the same guy that draws tattoos on celebs now specializes in tatoo removal also. What I can't say if his laser devices and techniques are up to date. Like the article said, tatoo removal is not only painful, it's time consuming and you can't get it done at once.
I personally don't see a big in having a small wrist tattoo, not that it will be that visible unless one takes a very close look. Like I said, it's very easy access conceal.

You're welcome

I have read that tattoos are habit forming. And that the first tattoo is often a gateway tattoo. Tread carefully

True, I hear it gets pretty addictive.
