    Hi
    I recently got a cover up tattoo done and it was only meant to be a cover up and well its a hell of a lot bigger now and colourful. Im debating whether to get laser tattoo removal but I dont know would it work or if it hurts? Does anyone know is it worth it? Does it hurt? And do you get good results? Please help as I would love to get it all off.
    Thanks

    Depending on the colours used it's gonna take a good few sessions and yeah, its gonna hurt. There seems to be various machines that vary in method and pain etc, but of course the cost is gonna be just as much if not more than the original tattoo.

    Its mainly blue black and pink. The money wouldnt bother me as just want it off but the pain would be the ting that put me off. Thanks

    I've tried all the machines in beauty places, tattoo studios, private folks and they all seem to be the same ****e.

    Cheapest option was in the tattoo studios, about 50 euro a session.

    Mine is black, thick enough lines, after about 20 sessions with different folks it's still there.

    Your supposed to wait for about 8 - 12 weeks in between sessions for it to work properly, so lets say you need 12 sessions that's neraly 3 years before it's gone. If it even goes.

    Better off sticking with the cover up.

    that's my experience anyway. Doesn't hurt as much as people say, nothing like a tattoo, and it's over in a few minutes.

    I've seen them on TV on shows and they all seem to work so I don't know what standard machine they are using but from what I've seen around here they were no good. Someone must have a decent one so maybe research and see what's available.

    I've been getting it done for about 4 years now and it's still there.

    Should have just covered up myself.

    It is working don't get me wrong, but taking a looooooong time.

    Maybe I was just unlucky??
