Laser Tattoo Removal

2011-08-07T00:44:00.000-07:00

With the increase in demand for tattoos - both professional and amateur, demand for laser tattoo removal has also increased. According to The Harris Poll February 12, 2008 about 17% of people regretted having a tattoo. The main reason given was that they were too immature when they got the tattoo. Others said they regretted their tattoo because they fade over time while others said they "just didn't like it".

While there are other methods of tattoo removal that include everything from creams to surgical removal, laser tattoo removal has become the gold standard for tattoo removal and has largely replaced other methods.

How does laser tattoo removal work?
Laser tattoo removal works by targeting the tattooed area with pulses of laser energy at particular wavelengths. The ink within the skin absorbs the laser energy causing it to 'break up', enabling the body to absorb it naturally over a 6 to 8 week period. After the 6 to 8 week period another session is performed. Usually it takes between 5 and 15 sessions before the tattoo fades enough so it cannot be seen.

There are many lasers used for all manner of cosmetic procedures and there are a number of different lasers used for removing tattoos. These vary in wavelength, pulse duration and energy levels. Some lasers are able to vary the wavelength of the light and the spot size. Varying the wavelength and pulse duration is important. Different colors of ink absorb light better at specific wavelengths and lasers with shorter pules are safer and more efficient.

The effectiveness of laser tattoo removal can depend on a number of factors including skin tone, pigments used, Tattoo color and your immune system's ability to absorb and rid itself of the broken up ink.

How much does it cost?
The cost of laser tattoo removal depends on many factors - the most important being the number of sessions required to remove the tattoo and the area size of the tattoo. The number of sessions required depends on the quality of the tattoo and the type of ink used. Some professional tattoos use pigments that are more stubborn to remove and some colors are more challenging to remove than others. Tattoo pigments such as white, yellows, greens and florescent inks can take more sessions to remove than darker blacks and blues.

Each clinic will calculate their prices differently but each session should be between $200 - $500 but can be more for large tattoos.

Risks of Laser Tattoo removal
The risks are low but very rarely some ink colors react badly to the laser and will turn dark instead of fading. However this can usually be remedied by future sessions where the blackened tattoo is targeted by a wavelength of light specifically for very dark pigments.

Unique Tattoo Designs

2011-08-07T00:39:00.001-07:00

Everyone likes to be special. When you choose your tattoos, whether it be the first or a continuation of many, you'll want it to be as unique as possible.

Are there any unique tattoo designs? Or has everything possible already been drawn. Is the tattoo your having inked into your body simply one of thousands already in circulation?

Quite possibly yes, your tattoo is featured on someone else's body somewhere in the world. If you've chosen your design from the flash drawings featured on the walls and poster boards of your local tattoo studio, then you can bet your bottom dollar that the tattoo artist has inked that same design on someone else, somewhere local to you.

Some tattoo collectors are happy with that. They see the design that they like and have it tattooed, regardless of how generic it is. Certain designs will always be popular. Anchors, daggers, devils, skulls, dragons, eagles, the list goes on. These tattoos have existed for many years and future generations will still be getting these flash design tattoos in years to come.

If you want unique tattoo designs, you are going to have to put some work in. You will need to plan carefully and possible get the pencils out and start some rudimentary sketches of your own.

It might be that you are planning a memorial tattoo or some other design with meaning. This is already a unique tattoo design but most people refuse to put the extra leg work in. They simply pick a flash design of the wall and have their loved ones name written in a scroll underneath. It's a shame as a tattoo of this importance can be made so much more unique by having a one off design created.

By making some rough sketches your can approach your artist and at least be able to give them an idea to work from. They can then add their own suggestions and bring the sketch up to an acceptable standard.

If your going down this route, why not have a think about who the tattoo is celebrating. If it's your children, what are their favourite things in life? If you're remembering a parent, what was their occupation? What is your loved one's favourite animal? There are lots of directions to go in.

Script can then be added to identify the person but its doesn't have to be in English. Try looking at different languages or symbols, what about Egyptian Hieroglyphics for example. The possibilities are endless.

Your tattoo is likely to be with you for the rest of your life. Invest in yourself and take some time to really come up with a unique tattoo design, rather than just settling for any old flash on the tattoo wall.

Tattoo Removal

2011-08-07T00:33:00.000-07:00

Tattoos are simply permanent drawings or designs made in the skin. They are created when pigment is implanted into the middlemost layer, known as the dermis. In the past, and still today among amateur tattoo artists, the pigment was inserted by pricking the skin with handheld needles that were coated with ink. These days, professional tattoos artists, however, use an electric tattoo machine whose needle tips are coated with the chosen pigment. There are as many as 100 different colored inks to choose from. The needles hammer up and down into the skin with a motion much like that of a sewing machine and drive the pigment down into the desired locations to create what amounts to true works of art upon a canvass of skin.

At one time, the very mention of the word tattoo conjured frightening images of gang members, hardened convicts, right wing hate groups, and bizarre religious cultists. That image changed, however, as tattoos burst into mainstream Americana during the past twenty years. The presence of approximately four thousand tattoo parlors nationwide attests to their enormous popularity, particularly among young people. And, it is estimated that greater than ten million Americans possess at least one tattoo.

With the passage of time, not everyone remains happy with their foray into body art. Perhaps as many as half of all individuals sporting tattoos grow to regret their youthful indiscretion. What appeared cool and "in" on a forearm at age sixteen can prove an impediment to getting hired as an airline stewardess at age twenty-six. And a soaring eagle with its wings spread wide and coarsing up the side of the neck may look macho at seventeen, but altogether unacceptable to a conservative Wall Street brokerage firm at age twenty-seven. And, of course, an "I love Sally" heart-shaped tattoo replete with Cupid's arrow spread over John's outer arm is not likely to go over very well with the next love of his life, Jane.

It may be fairly easy to get a tattoo applied, but it's safe to say, it's much harder to get one removed, and, for that matter, much more expensive. Prior to the introduction of light-based therapies, a variety of procedures were used for getting rid of them. These included dermabrasion, salabrasion, cryotherapy, chemical peeling. and surgical excision.

Dermabrasion involved the use of a motor-driven wire brush to abrade the skin surface; salabrasion, the use of coarse salt crystals; cryotherapy, freezing with liquid nitrogen; and medium-depth chemical peels, tha application of caustic materials. Each of these techniques relied upon stripping away the epidermis, the topmost layer of the skin, and exposing the pigment-laden dermis. Following exposure, the ink would be extruded as part of the healing process.

Surgical excision skirted the issue of dealing directly with the embedded pigment. Instead, if the lesion were small, it was cut out entirely and the resulting wound sutured together. If it were very large or its location difficult to work with, the removal was done in stages, allowing each surgical wound to heal before proceeding to excise another part. In general, these methods were successful at obliterating the tattoo, but at least some degree of scarring was inevitable. It was a trade-off--an acceptable scar in place a highly visible and undesirable tattoo.

Lasers and other light therapy devices, such as the Infrared Coagulater (IRC), are the treatments of choice today. Lasers work by emitting short, intense pulses of light that pass through the skin and target the ink. The energy from the laser light fragments the large particles of tattoo pigment enabling the body's natural immune system to more easily scavenge the pigment and carry it away. This process usually takes several weeks, and multiple treatment sessions are often necessary to achieve maximal clearing.

Since black pigment absorbs all wavelengths of light, it is ironically the easiest pigment to remove. Colors, such as green, do not absorb as well, and sometimes a variety of lasers, with varying wavelengths, are needed to effectively treat a multicolored tattoo.

Potential complications include permanent scarring, temporary or permanent loss of pigment or excessive pigmentation. Fees for laser treatments may range from $1000-$3000 or more, depending upon the number of treatment sessions required, and the size, shape, colors, and location of the particular tattoo.

IRC uses non-laser infrared light to heat the area containing the pigment. It is quick and easy to perform, and generally requires fewer treatments than lasers. Most small tattoos can be treated successfully in one to three sessions. IRC's efficacy also does not depend upon the particular color of the pigments involved. For these reasons, it is my favorite method for dealing with small tattoos.

The procedure is quick and simple. The area is first numbed with local anesthesia. Next, very short pulses of infrared light are directed at the tattoo in a gridlike fashion, leaving tiny spaces between each treated site. Since each burst of energy is just a fraction of second, an entire treatment session requires only a few minutes to complete. It is within the course of the next few weeks, as he wound heals, that the pigment is extruded.

To complete the removal, the intervening spaces are generally treated between two to four weeks later. Fees for a series of three sessions generally run about $1500. As with laser treatments, potential complications include scarring and temporary or permanent pigmentary changes. Most people, however, are quite gratified and relieved to be free finally of their tattoos. The accompanying figure demonstrates a tattoo before and eight weeks following final treatment with IRC.

The most common foot tattoo for women but guys do make them, too. There are so many tattoo designs for women and men. Regardless you have to choose a tattoo that reflects your style and personality.

The most common place for a tattoo was on foot but some choose to get your feet tattooed. A tattoo on the single will not be as sharp detail or color as one of the upper leg. Keep in mind that a tattoo on the sole is much more difficult to treat than in the upper leg.

Some tattoo artists will not even tattoo your feet because the hood of the possibility that maybe was not satisfactory. Therefore you must choose a veteran artist with experience in this field. You also have to communicate with your artist to make sure that everything is perfectly clear. You also can ask the artist to wear a temporary tattoo to ensure that you not only like the placement but will be satisfied with the design as well.

Whatever you do, you must follow the care instructions to the letter. A foot tattoo can be the most difficult to care within the first few days. Type of tattoo is more susceptible to infection and should be treated with extra precautions.

If you work, you must get a tattoo since Friday, possibly to allow for treatment and healing time over the weekend before returning to work on Monday.
