Removing hair permanently

DhalsimHibiki

Hey,

I would like to know what you guys think about permanently removing hair from a body part where you want a tattoo.
I will be getting my calf tattoo in 2 weeks and even though my calves are not very hairy, I am still afraid, that my black hairs will take some of the color of my tattoo.
Did you get your hair removed? Is epilation possible on tattooed skin? Does hair even grow under tattoed skin?

Generally the extent of hair removal is that the tattoo artist shaves the area prior to tattooing.

And yes, the hair grows back through the tattoo.

i know of a guy who got laser hair removal for his tattoos, it is an option but a very expensive one.

My mates getting lazer before he gets his chest piece.
Its expensive but I'd say it's worth it, tbh.

Or a couple of Euro for some bic razors.....shave it yourself every few days.
I shave my forearms every few days....looks fine to me! lol

can you get laser hair removal after a tattoo is done? (1 year later)
will the laser damage the tat?

I don't know for sure, but I wouldn't chance it personally speaking.

Anyone actually ever done laser hair removal?

Would hair growing back through a freshly done tattoo ruin it in any way? Probably a stupid question, just thinking of possible tattoo project in the future.

Guys, you can still wax after getting tattooed. you just cant touch the area where you've been tattooed for a couple of weeks that's about it.

and hairs growing back on a freshly done tattoo wouldnt make any difference to the colour either
