Out with the old, in with the new

Posted on : May 6, 2014  By : Wellness

Tattoos are an art form that is increasing in popularity year on year with no sign of any cessation to the growth of their appeal. The draw of tattoos is hard to contain within one sentence and indeed even with a 1000 page volume you would be nowhere close to covering every reason why people love getting their very own piece of ink. Part of the allure definitely lies in the fact that they are one of the very few things that you can add to yourself that are with you permanently.

Unfortunately this permanence ensures that there is a constant stream of people that have rushed into or been pressured into getting a tattoo that they now want to have removed. Here at Apple Wellness Center we have over 8 years experience providing laser tattoo removal in Calgary and have heard literally thousands of reasons for people wanting tattoo removal.

An increasingly common reason that is less documented is the idea of removing old tattoos that you have come to regret in order to cover them up with new ones that are more relevant and desirable. Over time tattoos inevitably fade and lose their initial clarity making them less attractive. When this happens many people begin to regret them and cover them up, their love for tattoos as an art form remains the same.

In this case people do not necessarily want to lessen the amount of tattoos that they have, rather they want to increase the quality and relevance of the tattoos on their body. Laser tattoo removal works by breaking down the ink that is stored in the epidermis and fading the tattoo. The process can be repeated until the tattoo is completely gone but most people that are covering them back up only need to have as little as one session depending on how dark the tattoo is.

By having a couple of sessions of laser removal their previous tattoos will be faded to a point whereby you can tattoo over the top of them and not even be able to see the initial image. Once upon a time the thought of being able to rid yourself of those sorely regretted tattoos was merely science fiction but thanks to the wonders of modern science it is now easily possible to finally trade in your old tattoos and get fresh new pieces of art that are more relevant to you and your personality.
