Description of service

I had a tattoo, that I never should have gotten, removed from my forearm. The cost was $1200. I took 7 appointments.


Review of Service

When I was 18 I got a tattoo that I never should have gotten. I loved it at the time but as I got older I realized that not only was it silly but it was on a part of my body that was readily accessible to the mass population.

I decided to get it removed via laser removal. I found a place that gave a quote of $1200 to remove it.

They agreed to a set fee despite the number of sessions it might take to remove it.

The actual removal was very, very painful. I wish I could make other young folks who want tattoos realize how much of a pain it is to get it removed.

The place I went was great about the whole thing. I ended up having to get 7 treatments to get it gone completely and they were very good about setting up appointments around my schedule.


Tips

Be sure to get a quote based on the total cost and not a per-appointment cost. There's no way to tell how many treatments it will take but if you have them do it at a per-appointment basis they might not do all they can to get it gone as quickly as possible.
