Some people stay clear of laser tattoo removal not only because of the high price, but also because of the risks/side effects that are associated with it…
The laser may burn your skin.
Your skin may become discolored. It may either become too light or too dark.
Rather than lightening some tattoo inks actually darken when exposed to a laser.
Scarring may occur.
Some tattoo ink breaks down into toxic substances.
To deal with the pain that accompanies tattoo removal, the technician may give you some cream before the treatment and/or anesthesia during the procedure. Ironically, this pre-op cream may be the only “tattoo removal cream” that does any good.
Furthermore, tattoo removal is not perfect. There’s a very good chance that your tattoo will still be a little visible. After paying so much, some patients want everything to be removed.
