Posted on : March 10, 2014  By : Wellness

While the tattooing trend is definitely on the rise due to improved tattooing techniques, plastic surgeons and dermatologists are also noticing an increase in the number of people who want to get their tattoos removed. Although it might have seemed a great idea at the time, many people are living to regret the permanent decision they previously made. For those who are unhappy about their body art, there is still is hope.

Laser tattoo removal, offered by specialists like us at the Apple Wellness Center, is becoming an increasingly popular medical aesthetic procedure among people with unwanted tattoos. The current laser tattoo removal techniques are very effective, and it is now possible to completely eradicate body art without any consequential side effects. As tattoo removal experts, we have removed numerous tattoos. However, there are certain tattoos that we are especially accustomed to removing. There are a few examples on this list, and they include:

Teardrop tattoos: these tattoos are typically located immediately below the side of the eye. Commonly associated with the death of a close person, these tattoos can be extremely controversial, as they can now also mean that the person with the tattoo has killed someone else. These tattoos are generally removed with extra caution, as the eye area is very tender.

Barbed wire tattoos: these tattoos are predominantly found among the male population to signify masculinity or the hardships they have faced. Many people with this tattoo have it located on the upper arm, which in many cases should not be a problem to remove. However, they can be a challenge, as a lot of manoeuvring the individual’s arm typically needs to take place.

Rose tattoos: although there is an increased trend in people getting the rose tattoo as part of their bodily artwork, there are an equal number of people getting them removed. Since these tattoos commonly have red ink, they can be slightly harder to remove, as brighter ink tends to be more resilient when compared to the standard black or green ink.

There are many other examples of tattoos that we commonly encounter during the removal process. Since tattoos are a permanent feature, it is important to give your idea a good deal of thought before getting a tattooist to ‘ink’ the design on your body. However, if you have a tattoo idea that you regret, it is never too late, as you can always access the Apple Wellness Center removal services. We offer professional laser tattoo removal in Lethbridge to give you the chance of a fresh start without the unwanted body art.
