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!

All About The Cover Up Tattoo

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.

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.
