Although there are millions of designs and choices to choose from with getting a tattoo, the choices for having a tattoo removed are pretty limited. Here are some tattoo removal facts to help you in deciding which type of tattoo removal method will be best for you.
Tattoo Removal Facts about Pigments
1) Some tattoo pigments are more difficult to remove than others. These include the greens, yellows, and the fluorescent inks. Darker blues and blacks are easier to remove.
2) Tattoos with only three colors in them are much easier to remove.
3) Homemade tattoos are much easier to remove than professional tattoos, this is because professional inks tend to be placed deeper under the skin.
4) Body parts that have a thin layer of skin over them are more likely to scar than body parts with thicker-skinned areas.
5) The hands, fingers and ankles are the toughest body parts to remove tattoos from.
6) Tattoos that are older (10 + years) and that have less colors are easier to remove then newer tattoos that were created with the new pigments.
7) If scarring of the skin occurred when the tattoo was first applied, the outline of the tattoo will always be visible no matter what procedure you use (unless you get a skin graft).
Tattoo Removal Facts about the Removal Process
1) The most common types of professional removal include dermabrasion, salabrasion, excision, and laser removal. Each type of tattoo erasure process has its own benefits and drawbacks.
2) Most processes will take time to carry out, some might even take several months and many treatment visits.
3) In almost all cases, there are no guarantees that the tattoo will be removed completely.
4) The tattoo area that is being, or has been, removed must be tended to carefully so that infection does not occur.
5) Many types of tattoo removal processes leave a bit of scarring, and/or slight skin color variations.
Other Tattoo Removal Facts
1) The costs of having a tattoo removed can range anywhere between $100 to $4,000 depending upon the type of removal method, the age of the tattoo, and the number and type of color pigments used.
2) During most procedures a topical pain killer is applied to the area.
3) Side effects of having a tattoo removed may include swelling of the skin, hypo-pigmentation, bleeding, blisters, and permanent scarring. Most side effects usually go away with time.
Having all the facts before you decide on which tattoo removal procedure is best for your tattoo will save you lots of money, time, and possibly pain.
