Tattoos have been around for ages, we're talking about pre-Egyptian ages! Since mankind learned to ink their bodies they never stopped however with the fad of putting ink all over your body came regret and that is where he many removal options came into play - to take off tattoos.
As regret increased methods of removal started to grow as well and it is not until last century that the technology of the removal methods started to advance and become more efficient.
Why Remove Your Ink?
If you are one of the few people that have managed to live with their ink without any regret don't straight away think it's stupid for people to get theirs removed. Sometimes there are reasons such as:
Misspelling by the artistIt didn't turn out as well as the person thought it would be
It might be a partner's (now ex) name
It might need to be removed for a job
Methods Of Removal
Laser Removal
When this method was established in the 1980's they had none of the anesthetics that we had or the technology we have now so it would be a painful process that would leave a horrible scar in place.
Now however the risks that you would have had with this method have been reduced and you will feel a slight pain when going through this procedure but it won't be as bad as it was before. Also scarring can still occur with this method too which is expected when you are going the invasive route to remove tattoos.
DermabrasionA less popular method than laser surgery because of how brutal this method seems is dermabrasion. This is the method of "sanding down" the layers of skin until the surgeon reaches the pigment under the skin where your tattoo resides.
As you can guess this method is painful and will leave you with scarring too. It has been said that those with a darker complexion may suffer from rough patches on their skin after they have undergone the procedure.
Chemical Peel
This method is starting to become a widely used and popular method of removing your unwanted ink. There are studies that back up the efficiency of this method for many people.
The only thing about this method is that it may scar the skin since the chemical has to burn through the skin to be able to remove your unwanted ink.
The price of this method is fairly cheap when you compare it to the surgical removal options however it can be slightly expensive depending on the size of your ink so make sure that you look at the prices and estimate how much it will cost you to take off tattoos.
These 3 methods are the most popular when it comes down to how to take off tattoos.
