How Do I Find a Good Tattoo Removal Studio?

So you're looking for a laser tattoo removal studio and are wondering, "Where do I start?" Well, this is often a daunting task and can strike fear into those who are already scared at the thought of getting tattoo removal to begin with. The stress of finding a good tattoo removal studio, especially a good laser tattoo removal studio, can be overwhelming because if you don't find a good studio, then you can be left with a nasty scar, a lot of pain, an incomplete tattoo removal process, and a big ol' hole in your wallet. What adds to this pressure of finding the perfect laser tattoo removal studio is the amount of money that you have to pay for the procedure, out of your own pocket; the majority of insurance companies do not opt to pay for the procedure since it is classified as elective surgery or cosmetic surgery. Well, here are a few tips to help you out with finding the right studio.

1) Do your research. If you do not do your online research then finding the right tattoo removal studio will not end well. Look online and do a search on a search engine of what is a good tattoo removal studio. See what people are saying. Are the links coming up viewed by lots of people? Are there lots of suggestions for that site? One thing to remember is that the top three links are paid advertisements and so they are only up that high on the page because that company big bucks to be there. The links after the top three are more genuine in terms of being liked by people using the internet. Try using reference tools such as the Yellow Pages online or Yelp, these are good since they can be more genuine in what they say since the references and recommendations are generated by users like yourself.

2) Shop around. Don't just settle for the closest tattoo removal studio because it happens to be down the block; look for the best price while having good results and people you can depend on. You do not have to sacrifice the best quality for the best price nor vice versa. You can have good quality and a good price so you should not act too quickly. Of course, you do not want to take years to decide where to get your tattoo removed. This is why you should do your research. Also, you can try calling the places that really pick your interest and see what they say.

3) Visit the studios. One thing you want in a quality tattoo removal studio is that actually keeps their studio clean. You do not want to go into a laser tattoo removal studio, or a place that does other forms of tattoo removal, that doesn't look like they care about sanitation. If the place shows dirt on things like the walls, floors, furniture in the lobby, then how do you think their rooms are where they do the procedure? Or the instruments themselves? If the place uses laser removal, then the tools are not directly touching your skin but it can still be a risky situation.

4) If you are looking for laser tattoo removal, then try looking for a place that uses the R20 procedure. This is a good procedure to want in a removal studio because it shortens the amount of time that you will have to put aside for the tattoo removal procedure. What I mean by this is that normally, getting a tattoo removed takes at anywhere from 6 months to a year, depending on the size of the tattoo, etc; well with the R20 procedure, the amount of months required is much less than other forms of removal. The reason this is the case is due to the fact that the R20 procedure compounds four sessions into one. The only draw to this is that it's more expensive than other laser tattoo removal. Of course, if you think about how the other forms take longer but are cheaper, you come out paying about the same amount for whatever option you choose.

5) Ask to see evidence. When you have your choices of tattoo removal parlors narrowed down to a couple, check with them to see if they have evidence of their good claims. See that they can actually do the removal correctly and effectively. Videos or real session sit-ins are the best though. Ask for referrals too! If you know someone who has gotten the procedure done, especially if it is from the place you are considering, then ask them if they would recommend it.
