Anyone had one removed by laser?
Is it painful?
Is it expensive?

I need to do a bit of research into it but thought I'd get the SN masses to give me their thoughts first.

Cheers.

Don't know anything about how it works but there are creams on the market, www.tattooremovalcream.co.uk

I've only got one on the top of my arm that I want removing ( and will have it put elsewhere, in a different style).
I've got 2 others, one on each inner elbow (not the crease, but around the inside of my elbows) which I'll keep.

To be honest I'm not bothered about the pain or the price but I'm really wondering how effective the lasers are?
The one I want to removed is only black writing, so nothing complicated.

Hmmmm.... tattoo removal cream from a company that can't even spell 'tattoo'......

Could it just be Savlon?

I had 2 on my hand that I did when I was 16. I have had about 5 sessions so far, the star has gone and the love heart has just about gone. Ruby arts in York did the first few sessions and the rest were done in Halifax. I pay 40 quid a time but they are only small and take about 2 mins to do. Pretty painless but I reckon anything big would be rather sore.

They fade over 2/3 months and then I go back for another sitting, they leave no scars or marks once healed.

It is simply 'cover-up' cream ...... I'm guessing as I don't actually know (I'm not a sheep who feels the need to copy others and get tattoos, you see?).

The best removal solution is to be an individual and not have one in the first place ....... I sound like my Grandad - which is no bad thing as he worked in the Navy and had them up his arm, he regretted them all his life and died wishing they were not there

I suppose if you grow up without copying others then you reach an age where sense kicks in and you simply do not do it?

Just my opinion ....

Pete, why do feel the need to comment on each and every tattoo thread? everyone knows your feelings as we have had them rammed down our throats each and every time someone mentions them.

Hoppy

I know nothing about this, but a colleague had both arms full (only seen photos though) and had them removed when he got married. No marks or scarring that I can see, and it changed his life.

Pete, its one of those, you would not understand thing.

Do you drink alcohol, smoke, take recreational drugs (your medication does not count )

Everything done in life can really be called "copying" but we are talking about personal decisions here. One you took too, NOT to get a tattoo. But it does not make you "right" it makes you YOU!

So lets stop being wet and pathetic and trying to force opinions on others eh.

pslewis

I'm old enough to have seen the effects of what Tattoos do to people, if me posting on here stops an impressionable young person from abusing their body in such a way, then my words will have been worth their effort ..... I make absolutely no apology for that.

We must remember that SN is read by children as well as those who should know better .... there's nothing big, nothing clever and nothing to be proud of in having a tattoo and that is my opinion - I voice it, because that's what I believe in.

Plenty of space on here for a difference of opinion, get used to it

Despite being tattooed I am sure you are all very decent people

mrtheedge2u2

But Pete you are completely off topic.... the topic is 'tattoo removal' not 'should I get a tattoo' ......

pslewis

True, I will now shut my big gob

It's just one of my HOT buttons .... like Oil and KnockLinks and Mods.

are you a sheep then who follows others by not having a tattoo

Snazy

And while we are talking opinion, I would be quite frank to say I think you are a patronising arsehole making comments like that...... my opinion of course.

Hmmm now what brush can we tar you with

Jay, I would have to agree. Its 50/50 on the whole matter. You do or you dont, so one way or another you conform to some sort of sheep like behaviour.

Bloody ell it's all kicked off, back to the fields lads.

I think I may have already posted about this, I wish that argument would have worked on my ex who only got a tat to annoy me. I see absolutely no point in having one that doesn't mean anything to you but was just a way to pi55 someone off. I find it amusing, she has to live with it and I don't.

I can't believe I've actually agreed with PSL. I'm going to go and stick my head in the oven

In fact, next time I see the loony bint, I might tell her that if she really loves me she'll get it removed. Then I'll tell her I prefered her with it and to get another one done. That'll confuse her...

And another thread goes totally off topic thanks to Pete........

Paul3446

It's a shame you can't get some cream to remove PSLewis!

Snazy

lol I got an infraction for calling someone an arsehole!! But I was expressing an opinion not name calling lol

Was worth every letter. I feel like a real scoobynetter now.
Might even get a Tattoo of it

Sorry to whoever took offence to it. Guess its a little too close to the mark for some

zip106

I think PSL is bothered because he's got T W A T tattooed across his forehead and can't get it off.

Snazy

I see an infraction coming for that, I got one for sayin arsehole......

Anyway, back to tattoo removal, I hope those asking about it get themselves sorted out, and have learnt your lesson..... "always listen to PSL"

Good luck sorting them guys.

pslewis

My - didn't the Infraction Shop do well today??

I didn't think tattoo wearing dudes would be so, so, sensitive? Which I think is really cute

Snazy

Tasty bait on the hook, but surely your just trolling now. Thats an infractable offence you know

I wonder who keeps dishing out all these infractions. Wonder if someone is using a seperate account to infract, and then post to insight infractable responses..... Aaaah im just too into conspiracy theories. As if ANYONE would be such a sad arsehole to do that.

pslewis

I like you Snazy ..... you kinda 'get it'

Lifes too short

Snazy

No matter how short life may be, my life has just become worth living, with the endorsement of PS Lewis.... What more could a man want

Thank you, you have NO idea how much this means to me.... I cant control my emotions now.... its really touched me
