Laser Tattoo Removal: The 101 on R20 Procedure

Erase Tattoo Removal Studio

In the tattoo removal world, specifically in the laser tattoo removal sector of the tattoo removal world, there is a procedure called R20 Tattoo Removal, or R20 Procedure. This form of laser tattoo removal has reshaped the format of the laser tattoo removal industry because the format is so much different than what we had seen previously. Now, you’re probably asking, “What is it?” And we will get to that right now.

What is the R20 procedure of laser tattoo removal? R20 utilizes the ability to pass the laser four times in one treatment session. Traditional laser tattoo removal states that practitioners only do one pass of the laser per treatment session. So, as you can see, there is more done during just one treatment session with R20 than a traditional method of removal. This tattoo removal procedure expedites the tattoo removal process and thus gets people into their new stage of life quicker.

After the pass of the laser on the skin, tiny, white bubbles (their nitrogen bubbles) will appear on the skin; it looks like frost and the bubbles are so tiny, it is not like you will have a freak arm or anything. After these tiny, frost-like bubbles appear on the skin, the doctor has to wait twenty minutes to go over the skin again with the laser. So, four passes of the laser with a twenty-minute break in between each pass.

While R20 procedure is amazing for the amount of time it saves you for getting your tattoo removed, it does cost a bit more money than traditional laser tattoo removal. Traditional laser tattoo removal procedures cost between $300-$500 per visit, typically; for the R20, it can be between $600-$1200 per visit.  The reason for this increase is that the procedure is much faster and effective. Your chances of success are even higher with this, despite the already high success rate for traditional laser tattoo removal.

You may think that the price of the R20 does not justify the quickness of the procedure. Well, if this is the case, think about it this way: you need to get laser tattoo removal for the sake of finding a job or finding a better one. A lot of employers do not like the look of tattoos even in today’s day and age. Consequently, they will not hire a candidate for a position if they have visible tattoos, even when wearing work appropriate clothing. As far as finding a better job, many employers will not promote someone due to a visible tattoo; while they might hire someone with visible tattoos for a position that hides them from customers or clients, such as working on the loading docks, they probably will not promote them to a position where they will be in front of people.

Bottom line, there are a lot of benefits to the R20 procedure that justify the higher cost. The ultimate choice is yours: do you want quicker removal for higher cost or a long removal for cheaper?

New Army Tattoo

Erase Tattoo Removal Blog 

The army has recently updated their tattoo policy after under harsh criticism this year. The revised changes have been published this month and are effective immediately. All army personnel are expected to comply, along with new recruits who are hoping to enlist.

So what are these changes and what is and isn’t allowed.  Firstly, face and neck tattoos are still not allowed in the Army.Any tattoos that are visible above a t-shirt neck line are not permitted and could mean a person will be denied by the army, or will not receive promotions. 

Vulgar and offensive tattoos are also not allowed. While the policy has changed, the meaning behind tattoos must not be offensive to anyone, especially if the tattoo is visible when soldiers visit other countries.

The changes that are going to make the biggest impact include those that prior to this month limited the size, placement and number of tattoos a soldier could have. With the new rules, soldiers are allowed to have as many or as little amount of tattoos as they want, and are not limited by size.

If someone is looking to enlist and has a tattoo that is not allowed under these restrictions, the best choice is to have the tattoo removed with professional lasers. Contact your local tattoo removal studio to learn more about cost and treatment plan joining the army is not a part time job, it is a career.

How To Pick A Tattoo Removal Studio

Erase Tattoo Removal Studio in Oak Brook, IL

Not all tattoo removal studios are the same, in fact, they are often very different from each other. Each state not only has different requirements for tattoo removal, but there are many different lasers and ways to use them. Before you make the investment to remove your tattoo, you may want to read our tips to help make sure you are picking the right studio to get the job done. 

First things first, make sure that you get a tattoo removal consultation before committing to a specific tattoo removal studio. Many places will offer a free online consults and give you the information you need to start comparing prices, but we still encourage readers to visit actual studios before making a commitment. 

Start off by researching your local tattoo removal options. Then check their past patient reviews as well as descriptions of the specific laser or lasers that they use. This will give you insight into past clients experiences as well as manufacturer information on the laser. Each laser is designed differently. Depending on what type of tattoo you are trying to remove, one may be a better fit for you. You can look up each laser manufacturer and learn more about the kind of tattoos the laser works best for. Some laser tattoo removal studios will have multiple lasers and each one as part of a treatment plan. This is all important information for you to find out pre-tattoo removal. 

Once you have a few tattoo removal centers picked out, you can then set up in person consultations & learn more about them in person.  During your consolations, the laser tattoo removal studio should provide you with a treatment plan and be able to answer all of your questions. This is a great time to go over the information you are given, and ask them about their studio, doctors and lasers. 

One of the keys to successfully removing your tattoo is yourself. During the consolation, and as part of your treatment plan, there should be post and pre-tattoo removal instructions for you. Not only is it important to take care of your skin during the tattoo removal process, but you must maintain a healthy immune system throughout the entire treatment process. The laser works to break up the ink under your skin, but your body does the majority of the actual removal. Having a good pre-treatment plan and boosting your immune system, while following your post treatment care instructions will not only make the process easier for your body, but give the best result possible. 

At ERASE TATTOO REMOVAL we always make sure to share this information with each client and we also update this blog with pre and post tattoo removal care instructions. These simple tips can help make your tattoo disappear and limit scaring, irritation and infection. 

We recommend choosing a laser tattoo removal studio or center where there is at least one doctor on staff. Preferably, you would want a doctor to handle the laser when removing your tattoo. If that is not an option and other staff members will be doing the laser work it is good to find out what kind of training they have had, and also how much experience they have handling these lasers. Each state has different requirements, and some states do not require certification or training for laser tattoo removal studios. That is why it is important to learn this information during a consultation. While laser tattoo removal is safe, there is still a lot that goes into properly removing your tattoo.  Some patients have experienced scarring and the more experience the technician has, the more likely they are able to safely and effectively remove your tattoo.

Summer Weddings & Tattoo Removal

Erase Tattoo Removal Studio

Summer is almost here and so is wedding season! 

The history behind summer weddings goes all the way back to Roman times. 

The term “June Bride” is also historically associated with summer weddings because flowers were abundant during this time. Now that flowers are available year round summer weddings are less dependent on the flower season but people still prefer this time of year to get married because of work, kids and vacation time that guests must.

To get ready for your summer wedding one must take into account the dress and make arrangements months in advance. For the brides that are considering tattoo removal pre-wedding the time is now to start removing that old tattoo.  Depending on the tattoo size, shape and color, the bride may require months of laser treatment to be able to be ink free for the big day. Waiting and prolonging the process means that the tattoo might still be there for the big day. Some people decide to cover their tattoo with makeup but unfortunately that comes with its own risks, including smudging or staining your wedding dress. The only way to make sure that the your are ink free for your wedding is to have laser tattoo removal treatment. 

If you are starting to plan a summer wedding and want to remove your tattoo, we suggest consulting a professional tattoo removal studio as soon as possible. Many studios like ERASE, offer online consultations which involve you taking a picture of your tattoo and sending this picture via email to your local studio. Once you have gotten a few estimates and spoken to the medical professionals who will  be removing your tattoo, you can begin the process.  Each treatment session doesn’t last long, but your skin and body need to have time to recover from lasers and remove the ink once it is broken up by the laser. The longer you wait to start this process, the longer you will have to stretch your treatments out.

Tattoo removal before a wedding can be important to brides for many reasons other than fashion. Of coarse each bride wants to have the wedding day focused on them and their dress and for this reason may opt for tattoo removal. Often it is family pressure to remove the ink for the sake of wedding photos or cultural tradition that is a part of tattoo removal decision. Other brides choose to remove their old tattoos because they may be related to a previous partner or experience out of respect for the groom.

No matter why a bride chooses to remove a tattoo, they must remember that tattoo removal takes time and if you want to be ink free on the big day, there is no better time than now to start making arrangements.

If you are near Chicago and need a consultation visit ERASE and we will help walk you through the process and get you started on your way to being tattoo free for your dream summer wedding!

Can Tattoo Removal Help Unemployment Rates?

Follow Us on Twitter @EraseTattooRMVL

Unemployment is a big deal in the country the last few years with the economy being down and companies are having to downsize in order to stay alive. There is a unique way that this problem is being addressed and having an impact on improving the job rate. Tattoo removal.

Tattoo removal is making its effort to help those searching for jobs potentially land one. Why is this happening? How is this happening?

To start, it is happening by tattoo removal studios encouraging people to remove any tattoos. There are plenty of tattoo removal studios that are offering discounts to people who are wanting tattoo removal for sake of employment.

Why is this happening? Well, as much as tattoos have made progress in becoming more mainstream and loved, or at least tolerated, they are still held in a lower place in the corporate world. Why this is the case, we do not know, but it is just the way things are. Many companies who deal with clients and customers coming into the offices and directly interacting with employees are where you will often find the strict regulations on the tattoos. Some companies do not like their employees to have tattoos at all, whether or not they can be seen while wearing clothes. Most companies have simply gone to a policy that states you cannot have tattoos that show when wearing your work clothes—suit, uniforms, etc.

Why do companies decide this? Some have stated that they do not want their clients or customers to have any negative or shaky views of the company or feel that the company is not respectable. It sounds silly in a way since if the company hired the person, then the consumers or clients should know that the person is good enough for the company; however, it is also very understandable because some people still have poor views of tattoos, especially in the corporate and retail settings.

Due to these current scenarios, some people who have tattoos and are searching for jobs find that they are unable to land a job, or at least the one they really want, because of their ink that is visible while wearing the work clothes.

Consequently, many tattooremoval studios are making the choice to help people land a job and hopefully improve the economy. If you are looking for laser tattoo removal, consider contacting Erase Tattoo Removal for a free consultation.
