    I guess this is medical...sorta lol! I am getting two large tats removed and I figured I could enlightened someone who might be considering it. It hurts, but it's not too bad. Kinda like when you take a hot shower with a bad sunburn. The best part is how quick it is. No more than 3 minutes per tat. It is a process, the tech said 6 to 10 treatments. 6 weeks between each so it takes a while to complete. I can already see a huge difference though. The closers the tat is to your heart the faster it vanishes. Basically, the laser breaks up the ink and your blood whisks it away.

    After it was done my skin blistered pretty bad but it didn't hurt at all. Some slight swelling. Total cost for two large tats was 1600 bucks.

    So basically, if you want to remove some past mistakes it's not that bad.

    One has my ex wife's name in it and the current one doesn't like that. The one on my arm is just dumb and I'm tired of looking at it.

    Both are still a little wierd feeling, they don't hurt as much as slightly itch. The one on my arm is really lighter whereas my leg is just blurry.

    What does it do to the skin for long term effects? Any scaring?
