Description of service

I had to go visit the office where I was receiving my tattoo removal four times just because having a tattoo removed can be difficult. I had my arm numbed with a cream and they used the laser over the tattoo. It was pretty uncomfortable afterwards, but, I believe worth it in the end. Each session that I went to cost me 300.00 and each session was about 20 minutes long.


Review of Service

I believe I received a great quality of service, the office was nice and the doctor that was doing the laser removal was kind enough to let me know what he was doing before he did it, and he tried to let me know what to expect. Some doctors don't talk to you at all while they are doing work on you, he made sure he kept talking to me which in the end made me very comfortable. I definately believe the service I received was worth what was paid.


Tips

My biggest tip is thinking twice before getting your tattoo, but if you have already gotten a tattoo and you are wanting it removed research the offices in your area. Make sure that the doctor you are going to is licensed to removed tattoos and work with the lasers that they use. They cannot guarantee that the tattoo will be completely removed, you may have a bit of scar afterwards so keep that in mind. I am a believer in you get what you pay for, so don't run to the cheapest place you can find to have it removed.
