The Growing Trend of Laser Tattoo Removal

As we know, the trend of getting a tattoo has been around for a while, especially the last few years; more and more people are getting tattoos for the first time and more people are getting their second, third, or fourth tattoo, perhaps more. It is said that approximately 20 percent of Americans have at least one tattoo.  With all that happening, that means that more and more people are able to get laser tattoo removal and guess what, they are.

Being a Chicago tattoo removal studio that has been in Chicagoland for quite some time, we have just about seen it all. We saw the fad of females getting tattoos like birds and things like that. We saw when getting tribal tattoos was a really big hit. Like we said, we've seen just about everything. Tattoos are something that both men and women are getting and as tattoos have grown more acceptable to society, more women are getting them; this has shown the result we figured it would, women are getting more tattoo removal over men.

Men tend to have bigger tattoos and have more tattoos on their bodies but women are more likely to walk into a laser tattoo removal studio in Chicagoland than a man is.

Sometimes the tattoos that come in are clean and professional but sometimes there are tattoos that are just messy, patchy, and clearly done by an amateur. Either way, more people seem to be opting for laser tattoo removal over other forms of tattoo removal due to the ease, effectiveness, speed, and lack of side-effects that last, like scarring and such.

Many people are choosing to remove their tattoos for reasons like: changing lifestyles, breakups, looking to move up in their career, getting tired of covering them up, poor detail in the tattoo, or they were obtained mistakenly like while under the influence.

With this form of tattoo removal, you can get full removal, partial removal, or just a fade; it is up to you what you want but the tattoo also has input on what can be done. Depending on what is done, the price will differ.

Tattoo Removal Myths Busted

Laser tattoo removal is a business that tries to help people recover from past mistakes and get on with their lives. We all deserve a second chance and sometimes having a tattoo prohibits getting a second chance. When you have something that a lot of the world is unfamiliar with, you find that there are things that get said about it that are not true or maybe they are true but there people don't believe it. The bottom line is that you find you get a lot of myths. Today, we will discuss three myths about the tattoo removal procedure and whether they are true or not. As a Chicago tattoo removal studio, we know first hand about the truths and lies of this industry.

1. The first myth is that laser tattoo removal is an expensive procedure. This is true to an extent; the tattoo removal procedure depends on each patient in terms of price. Some tattoos take more removal sessions than others and consequently, they cost more than the procedures that only take a few sessions. Each session can cost a couple hundred dollars. In addition to the size of the tattoo that impacts the price, you also have to look at the colors involved, the placement, and the quality of the tattoo. There are a lot of things to consider. 
2. The second myth is that laser tattoo removal leaves scars. In the past, yes, this would have been true. The earlier lasers were not as quality as the ones we use now. The lasers we use now, like the Asclepion TattooStar Effect Laser is top of the line quality; with the better lasers, the chances of having scarring is next to none. The only real way you get scars with laser tattoo removal in these times is if you don't follow instructions in between sessions. 
3. The third myth is that laser tattoo removal is not completely effective. Again, in the past, this myth would have been true but it is no longer. With the newer lasers and procedures, laser tattoo removal is the most effective way to remove a tattoo and is rather good at it. There are still a few colors that can give lasers some trouble but progress is being made. Complete removal is obtainable more now; even if complete removal is not obtainable, the ability to fade the tattoo is rather good and can make it very hard to see.
