What To Consider Before Removing Your Tattoo

Posted on : May 28, 2015  By : Wellness

Getting a tattoo is a big step in anybody’s life. Tattoos used to be worn by the armed forces and commonly seen on criminals and gang members (hence why there is often still a stigma attached to people with tattoos). Of course in today’s society they are more sociably acceptable; a lot of celebrities have tattoos as do a lot of young people. They are more widely accepted in the workplace, however some businesses still require you to cover up your tattoos. This aside, more people getting tattoos today means that more people grow to wanting them removed. With laser tattoo removal, this is made easy when you want to remove a name or image you’ve grown out of.

Procedure

At Apple Wellness we try to minimize as much pain as possible when getting your tattoo removed, unfortunately we can’t make it completely pain-free. You know yourself and what you can tolerate better than anybody else, if you’re at all uncertain about the procedure and what it may entail, talk to our clinical experts about what you, and we, can do to minimize any discomfort you may experience.

You should also consider why you’re looking at removing your tattoo.
Does it bother you now? Are you ashamed of it, or does it just not reflect you as a person anymore? If this is the case and for your own peace of mind you simply want it gone, then perhaps take a moment to read through our laser removal procedures. If you simply want to remove the tattoo because it’s old and faded then perhaps think again. It doesn’t take much for a tattoo artist to redo an old tattoo. They can redefine the faded outlines, solidifying the blurred blacks and bringing your tattoo back into focus, they can also brighten up the filler colors in order to revitalize your worn image.

Scarring

It’s important to visit a professional, specialist clinic when looking to remove your tattoo. Though it may be a little expensive, a professional clinic like ours uses the very best equipment. This means that we can reduce the risk of scarring as well as reduce the number of treatments you will need in order to remove your tattoo. The alternative is visiting a tattoo parlour or clinic which advertises cheap laser tattoo removals or laser removal deductions. The problem with this is that the equipment will more than likely have been very cheap for the manufacturer to create. If this is the case, the laser may not be able to remove your tattoo as efficiently as a specialist clinic. This will mean that you will have to attend more treatments than necessary, which will leave your pockets depleted and will draw out the entire procedure longer than needed. Also, unlike a specialist clinic, the allure of cheap laser removal will more than likely leave scarring of your tattoo on your skin; as you want to rid yourself of your tattoo, settling for a bad scar is not an ideal outcome.

Here at Apple Wellness, we try our very best to remove as much of your previous tattoo as possible, although of course we can’t guarantee a complete removal as some inks are very difficult to fully break down. To combat this, Apple Wellness have invested in three high power laser systems to remove the trickiest of ink. Each of these systems cost us $100,000 so you know, with us, we have invested in quality systems and will do our very best in ensuring your tattoo is removed from your body. We have more information on our laser tattoo removal procedures and what kinds of lasers we use on our website, or, if you would prefer to ask us directly, you can call us on 587-332-6767.
