The best way to get rid of a tattoo is to never have gotten it.
Tattoos are annoying, blue collar and THE stupidest fad I have seen in my life. Go ahead, advertise to everyone that you can't think for yourself and got a tattoo. Big deal, so you let some idiot scribble on you.
I have seen laser removal and all I know is that it is very very painful.
But, it is your body and if you don't want to live with it anymore, then you don't have to. So, talk to someone that removes tattoos!
The best thing to do is laser surgery....It's the fastest but most expensive too. The process is actually long too, you need to have sessions done.
lazers are expensive as hell. If the ink isn't too deep, you could do it yourself with the improper materials... Get the freezy wart removers and freeze the skin area, and then sand it down. If you see some of it come off, and you start to see the skin is coming off badly, stop, and start again after it heals.
Oh, and for the lazer, you can get it for free if it's a gang sign. so go get a tattoo extention with a gang insignia in it, and have the whole thing removed for free.
laser removal is probably the way to go, but depending on how big it is and what colors were used it will prbably take a lot of sessions to get rid of it....im assuming it is black, orange and maybe white......black goes first then eventially the orange, but from what i hear if there is white, white is very hard to get rid of...plus possible scarring....not to mention cost....if its a big tiger it may not be that worth getting rid of.
to bad your letter can't be posted on the door of every "tattoo" parlor...
They can be removed the same way they were put on. Laser - very slow and same amount of pain as before. Usually the ink can be extracted in about the same amount of time...but sometimes takes 2 or 3 times..depending on if it's an outline or a full color job! good luck and congratulations on discovering that your body is way to pretty to decorate with tigers.
It all depends on the size of the tattoo and if it's colored or black and gray. If you aren't a person who likes pain don't do laser removal because, you would have to go to more than one session and it's more painful than getting a tattoo, and if it's colored than they have to have a couple of sessions for the black out line, and a couple for the colors and each color has it's own sessions, reds first, than blues and greens, so your other choice is to get a cover up tattoo, or keep the original tattoo. hope that helped.
I think all of the ignorant people who posted answers to this question saying "you should've never gotten it" need to grow up. Why sit here and tell this person what they should've done? She can't take it back, so don't sit there and act like you're high and mighty by not having tattoos. People make mistakes, that is why they came up with laser removal.
Check out different specialists who do offer that procedure and choose the best one and the one that makes you feel most comfortable. I've heard it's really painful, but I also know some doctors offer an anesthetic shot or cream to you before having it done. That way you won't feel the pain.
