Getting A Tattoo Removed In New York? Do Your Research First

       Ok so you want get rid of an unwanted tattoo? If you live in or near the New York area then you already know you have over 100 options for clinics that perform laser tattoo removal in NYC. There is a reason there are so many doctors advertising laser tattoo removal in New York - there is a lot of money to be made.

New York is one of the most competitive and expensive areas of the country for laser tattoo removal. That means you have to really do your research and choose the right professional if laser tattoo is your chosen method of tattoo removal. I suggest making a lot of calls and visits if at all possible. There is also a good reason to do some research on the laser removal process.

Some people are under the illusion that laser tatto removal is a single visit deal. That is very unlikely. Laser tattoo removal in NYC, or anywhere else for that matter, will mean multiple visits and some discomfort. You were probably not aware that the laser will penetrate the skin with heat nearing 900 degrees. That is hot. It is all part of the process to get your body to expel the inks and flush them from your system. The treatments are spaced out to give you a chance to heal somewhat before the next session. I wonder how many people determine that the pain and cost of laser tattoo removal is too much to bear?

There are also different types of lasers that are more effective on some colors than others. It is not likely that every clinic will have all the technology in-house. Even i they did have every laser, the cost to you would be prohibitive. Still, when you think about it, it is a little scary to place such an important task in the hands of one person. But, I guess anyone with a tattoo has some expericience in making that decision.

So the essential point is do the research. Research the tattoo atist who will apply your tattoo and research the person who may have to remove it. A tattoo may be forever but the side effects and potential scarring of laser tattoo removal has its own downside.

You may want to consider fading your tattoo yourself before you start bouncing all over New York looking for a tattoo removal clinic. Some tattoo removal creams can fade a tattoo to the point where laser treatment is not required. If laser is still the preferred method, fading the tattoo in advance will reduce the number of sessions required to remove the tattoo thus saving you money. This is crucial since maser tattoo removal can cost 10 times the amount of the initial tattoo application.

Consider Wrecking Balm to fade or remove your tattoo. Even if you started laser treatment and decided you do not want to continue, self-fading may be a way to complete the process with far less cost and far less discomfort
