Question:
I'm looking to get Tattoo Removal Lazer done? I just hope it's not on your member.
Ouch. No lazer should go there. Or tattoo for that matter.
Answer:
-It was maybe about 3" by 4 or 5" and my wife thinks it cost her about $500.
You must really hate that tattoo! A friend of mine has RAGE on his back,
and he isn't really the RAGE type :D. Yours has to be at least that bad to
spend that kind of money and pain to get it off
-My ex and I had tattoos done at the same time. It was a "couple" thing.
I'll chew it off if I have to...and that says a lot...considering it's on
the back of my shoulder.
-Girlfriend is having it done. It's on her upper right arm, the "thorn" type
around her arm. Laser removal. It's still there 8 treatments later, but
faint. However, it's also raised a bit and obviously off-colour.
It's rare that it will totally disappear. But she has it to a point now that
you really only see it if you look at it close up.
- this is wandering into pretty personal territory, but I would really
consider keeping it. An acquaintance had it done -- she lasted 6 treatments
before she said fuck it. It's still there, although pretty faint. I can't
imagine why anyone would go through the pain and expense of removing a tattoo
in the first place -- isn't permanence the whole point, for better or for
worse? Couldn't you look at it as kind of a badge of honour, like the scar
from a bullet wound that almost killed you?
Maybe it's different for you. Me, ever since I was 5 or 6 I wanted a tattoo.
Nothing in particular, just something cool. All my childhood, I dreamed of
getting one. Finally, when I was old enough, I got one. Then another. Then one
more. By that time, the passion had run out -- I was 21 when I had the last
one done (that's before tattoos on non-musicians/bikers/cons was cool or
common). Now I'm 33, and have no interest in ever getting another one, even
though I've been saving some prime real estate on my upper arm. I'm just as
sure now that I will never have another one done as I was as a kid that when I
grew older I would get a tattoo. I regret none of them, even though two of
them are goofy, and quite visible on my upper arms.
