Ways to get rid of your Tattoos
By Neil Jones
Getting a tattoo is generally considered one of the ‘cool things to do’ when you’re young. But sometimes even people, who otherwise are not considered young anymore, go ahead and get something simple or spectacular imprinted on their bodies. However, occasionally there are certain reasons that range from personal to professional that force them to review their decision and opt for a tattoo removal. The tattoos may symbolize a former lover or a dead friend. They are in memory of some previously happy days or a past achievement that, in the present times, is no longer as pleasing as before. In some cases the tattoos are in obtrusive places like the face or forearms, and a potential turn-off for prospective employers.
There are number of methods by which tattoos are removed, some of them are:
Laser technology
This is the most popular and commonly practiced method today for removing tattoos. The technique involves breaking off the dried ink using laser. It takes several weeks, and sometimes even months before the design is completely erased. The process is extremely painful but there is no need for incisions and therefore little chance for scarring. As for the cost involved, it entirely depends on the size of the tattoo and sometimes the ink used too. It typically varies from between a few dollars to over a thousand grand per session.
Abrasion
This method is painful too and typically leaves scars behind. It can be further separated into two different procedures: derma-brasion, which uses a wire brush rubbed briskly across the tattoo. However this mode of removal can remove the outer layers of skin as well as the tattoo. The other method is salt abrasion where the tattoo is soaked in a salt solution to wash away the ink’s pigment. This is very rarely successful. Neither of the two is commonly used.
Scarification
This procedure lost its popularity because it is unusually cruel. It involves using an acidic solution to bathe the tattoos by causing the skin to peel off the body, thereby removing the tattoo as well.
Surgical removal
A botched up surgery is the best description for it. Here the tattooed skin is cut off, followed by either a simple suture connection, or in the worst case scenario a skin graft. As usual with surgeries there is the risk of infection and significant scarring. This seems to be the least proffered method.
Camouflaging
It is another form of Ctrl C and Ctrl V. There are fake skin coloured tattoos made from pigments that are used to cover the original ones in an attempt to make them invisible. The texture of the tattoo is not as natural but is enough to hide the original. There are also tattoos that are designed for covering up the original tattoo by making it look like a completely new design. Both the camouflaging and the cover up tattoos are similarly priced and require just one session to be finished. This process is ‘virtually’ painless.
Intense pulsed light.
An expensive yet effective method, this requires multiple treatment sessions to remove the tattoos. It is best suited for brightly coloured tattoos. The procedure was originally developed to treat acne.

I have a tatoo. I tried the salt.OH my painfull is not the word. I had to stop.That and the lemon? I would have rather had a tooth ache...And I absolutely think a toothache is the worse pain.
I've never had a tattoo, but I often wondered If they could be removed. You see some people who have dozens of them. Is this a problem, should they need surgery or get severly burned?
Thank you for sharing, Neil.
Keep up the good work.
Best wishes.

A tattoo is for life not just for christmas! LOL
When thinking about getting a tattoo, the artist should inform the customer that getting tattood should be regarded as a life long decision, not one you can change easily afterward. Many youngster find they regret it soon after having it done, or when the tattoo might undesirably affect future employment possibilities.
I have a few tattoos. I never regretted any of them until my daughter turned 2. My tattoos don't bother me until she asks me "what's that mommy?" - that's the only time I wish I didn't get them. It's not that I would want mine removed, but I don't ever want her to get one. Hypocrite. I know.
