Vlad Rizhkov asked:
Does tattoo removal hurt?
Yes. It is generally accepted that removal of a tattoo is inevitably far more painful than getting the tattoo in the first place. Largely, the pain factor depends on the method used to remove the tattoo – abrasion, for example, is likely to be more painful and cause more trauma to surrounding and underlying tissue than modern laser technologies which can target the ink in the skin and leave the surrounding area virtually unscathed.
Most methods of tattoo removal are accompanied by the option for some pain relief, but where a medically trained practitioner is involved, the efficacy of pain relief is likely to be greater. Cosmeticians will most likely use simpler, topical pain relief options which they are legally permitted to use without formal medical training.
Can all tattoos be safely removed?
No. Unfortunately, there are occasions where specialists may deem that a tattoo cannot be safely removed by any of the available methods. Very large tattoos may expose the skin to a risk of infection which would be unacceptably high and patients already in poor health may not be suitable for surgical options.
In relation to laser therapy, the least invasive removal option noted in this tattoo removal FAQ, some tattoos might be comprised of inks which would resists the frequencies of light permissible for cosmetic use. More intense ranges might damage surrounding skin.
Where both surgical and laser therapies are ruled out, the wearer might need to find ways of living with the tattoo, such as dressing to hide it or blocking out with pancake makeup.
Why do people want their tattoos removed?
You might think that if they asked to have a painful procedure to adorn their bodies in the first place, it then seems strange to undergo an even more painful remedy. The truth is that many people come to regret the decision to get a tattoo. What seemed like a fun idea once can prove a headache in dressing appropriately for a job or if a partner finds the ink unattractive. Sometimes people simply outgrow their choice of tattoo.
Where it is not the concept of being inked that is the problem but rather the design itself: perhaps an old partner’s name; an additional option might present a solution. Some tattoos are suitable for re-working into an entirely new form, known as the ‘cover up’. It is important to select a particularly skilled tattooist to ensure a fantastic result, but may allow you to salvage your tattoo and turn something unfortunate into something great!
