The Benefits of Getting Laser Tattoo Removal


Erase Tattoo Removal Studio, Oak Brook, IL

Those that are living with tattoo regret can attest to the pains of having something permanent that they wish they could erase. For many these are nagging reminders of past relationships or wild youthful times, but for some they can be mistakes that cost them jobs, relationships and cause friction in their family.


Deciding between tattoo removal and living with tattoo regret can be hard so we decided to weigh the factors and see how someone can really bring value to removing their unwanted tattoo.

The top request we get at our Oak Brook, IL tattoo removal studio is for name removal. It is not uncommon for people to make a romantic gesture and end up living with a mistake for many years after the romance is gone. This mistake can have a negative effect on their relationships and even causing them to experience social anxiety and depression. 

Often people feel that the only way they can completely move forward with their lives after a situation like this is by removing their tattoo for good. This process can bring relief and hope to those getting over their relationship or having problems with a new partner who doesn’t appreciate the old tattoo. We have seen clients who were relieved to the point of tears and thrilled that they made the choice to remove their old tattoo after living with years of regret. The value in those tears is not measurable.


Another top reason people remove their unwanted tattoo is for career or professional reasons. A large group of people who come into ERASE studio got their first tattoo in their teens or during their twenties. At the point they decide to get the tattoo people made uninhibited choices and tend to be more carefree. As people mature and begin to focus more on career or family life, they also may start to feel like their tattoo is not fitting their current lifestyle or position in life. 


While tattoos have begun to become something that is more mainstream there are still a growing number of professional environments that do not appreciate them as much as modern culture. 


Tattoo removal studios like ERASE see clients daily that have moved past their youthful tattoos and would like to remove them for good, so they can move forward with their lives and careers. While some places may not hire people with visible tattoos, other times people can be held back from promotions and other situations where they or their career would benefit and not even know it. This is a huge reason why people choose laser tattoo removal and invest into their personal future. One of the biggest benefits to removing a visible tattoo is that you know you will never be limited by or discriminated against for this tattoo in the future.

All About The Cover Up Tattoo

 Erase Tattoo removal


There are many people living with tattoo regret. Some of these people (maybe even you) are considering a cover up tattoo.  Cover up tattoos can help relieve the immediate tattoo regret a person is experiencing but there is still a lot to consideration to be done before going back into the tattoo shop.


The saying “ #ThinkBeforeYouInk " applies to cover up tattoos even more because even laser tattoo removal may not be able to remove that cover up tattoo. At this point you may be realizing that this saying is true and trying to find out information about cover up tattoos and the importance of having a professional tattoo artist for your next tattoo. 

While it may seem that a cover up tattoo may be an easy solution, there is much more to it, and it is important to get all the information before the cover up tattoo. Why you may ask? Well, because once you get that cover up tattoo there is no removing it. In fact it will be almost impossible to remove a cover up tattoo with laser removal. The only option to remove a cover up is a surgical procedure and with that comes all of the discomforts and all of the costs related to surgery.

If you are considering a cover up you already understand what we mean when we talk about tattoo regret. There is nothing worse than getting a tattoo over one that is regrettable, with yet another regrettable tattoo that can't be removed. 

To make sure this doesn’t happen to you, thoroughly weigh your options and intentions. If you are not planning to go tattoo free for work or career purposes than a cover up may be a good option. If you do feel that you will need to possible hide your tattoo for work or that it will keep you from perusing a career or increased income in the future, than laser tattoo removal may be worth considering. There are many people who fall for the myths around tattoo removal procedures, but with technological advancement in recent years, laser tattoo removal has become more effective and efficient than ever before. The procedures are getting shorter and lasers are designed to limit pain, scarring while providing great results. 

For those that are truly committed to getting a cover up tattoo it is important to realize that just like with all tattoo art, there is no guarantee that what you invision will become the tattoo you get to cover the old one. 

In fact cover up tattoo’s can be even harder for artists and most professional studios will warn people of the difficulty regarding cover up tattoos and limit their expectations. 
It is important to do your research and get several professional tattoo artists to look at the tattoo you have and what your chosen cover up tattoo will be.  They can give you a consult on how and what it would take to cover the old ink and what other options you may have.

When your consulting with a professional tattoo artist about your cover up tattoo ask them if a better result for the cover up would involve some laser tattoo removal. Getting some of the old ink removed can make your new cover up tattoo even better & make it easier for the tattoo artist to make your vision come to life.


If your chosen tattoo artist think that you would benefit from tattoo removal before your cover up then you can move forward and request a consult from several of your local tattoo removal studios. You may wonder why you would need to compare and not want to spend the time to this.

Just like at our tattoo removal studio in Oak Brook, IL, there are many that can do online consultations, which save time and energy for clients. Simply email a photo of your tattoo with size and color information and the studio will be able to give you a quote.

It is important to find out a few things before you go under the laser to remove your tattoo.  Make sure the tattoo removal studio has Doctors performing the laser tattoo removal procedure and information about the staff; including experience and education. Learn about the type or types of lasers that will be used for your treatment and make sure to learn pre and post laser removal procedures; like skin care, immune system support and treatment plans. This is all key in making sure you get the best result possible.
