Laser Tattoo Removal - How Effective Will it Be?

People are crazy about having tattoos on their bodies but there are times when they are desperately looking for tattoo removal. Teenagers particularly are obsessed with getting tattoos inked on their bodies. Middle aged people, looking at the strange-looking tattoos on the young ones often fall for the temptation of having tattoos inked on their bodies. Just as we have a lot of people getting married and a lot getting divorced, we find that many people want their tattoos removed, even as many others are obsessed with having tattoos inked on their skin!. Laser tattoo removal is a popular method of getting yourself rid of the tattoos that you once loved to mount on your body!

Laser Tattoo Removal - How Effective Will it Be?It will be interesting to study why people wanted to have the tattoos on them in the first instance and why they would think of laser tattoo removal subsequently. Having a tattoo inked on your body, though a physiological operation, has psychological overtones. Wearing a tattoo makes many people feel better. People also have the satisfaction of altering their skin, though only partially. People may also feel more confident and more powerful. But as with many things in life, the fascination wears out after a while and people want to get rid of their tattoos for good.

Laser Tattoo Removal - How Effective Will it Be?But I would like to confine myself to laser tattoo removal in this article. The reference to the psychological aspects is only incidental. After all, it is quite understandable that you want your tattoos removed. I appreciate your decision to have the tattoos removed for whatever reason and would like to help you with getting your tattoos removed using laser equipment.

Laser Tattoo Removal - How Effective Will it Be?Admittedly, laser tattoo removal is a safe and effective method but you need to take some precautions. Sometimes, the tattooed spot on your body may be affected by infection. This may happen due to various reasons. The ink used might have been of non-standard quality. The artist might have had skills deficiency or he might not have bothered to sterilize the skin before applying the ink. Sometimes the infection may be the result of the allergic nature of your skin.

But whatever may be the reason, the infection has to be cured before the laser tattoo removal. Sometimes, people decide to get their tattoos removed as a reaction to the development of infection. But infection can be cured and there is no justification for the overreaction. You may choose to live with your tattoo or you may opt for laser tattoo removal.

Though there are alternatives to laser tattoo removal, the laser method is preferred because it is safe and can remove the tattoo completely

the best LA ink | TATTOOS GIRLS

(Silver Spring, MD) For centuries the tattoo industry has been dominated by men. In TLC�s new series LA INK (premiered Tuesday, August 7th at 10 PM ET/PT), the glass ceiling is shattered as three of the most respected female tattoo artists, along with one legendary male artist, come together to work at the newest and hottest tattoo shop in LA. Joining shop owner Kat Von D at LA INK are renowned tattoo artists Kim Saigh, Hannah Aitchison and Kat�s mentor, Corey Miller. The shop manager holding everything together is Kat�s good friend, Pixie. With the majority of the artists in the shop being woman, LA INK shows that great art shares no gender bias.

The shop, which Kat recently opened in Hollywood, will have a distinct rock-n-roll flavor reflecting the owner�s personal style. Filled with gorgeous black and white photography and memorabilia signed by legendary rock artists and professional athletes, LA INK has a glam-rock feel that is inviting to celebrities, athletes, rockers and regular people alike. Following the lead set by their boss, Kat Von D, these tattoo artists (and shop manager) play by their own rules and live a fast-paced, rebel lifestyle. They set their own schedule, pick their clients, sleep late and party all night long. Together, the cast of LA INK will share their lives showing the culture and stories behind tattoos.

Through TLC�s hit series MIAMI INK, artist Kat Von D tattooed her way onto the world�s stage, becoming one of the most talked about and sought after tattoo artists on the planet. Throughout her 11-year career, Kat has worked alongside men, not only surviving, but thriving. Now, after leaving Miami for her home-town of LA, she is realizing a dream by opening up her first business.

TLC�s season two finale, which aired on May 8th was watched by over 3,000,000 people*. Kat specializes in fine-line, black & gray style life-like portraits. In more than a decade of being a professional tattoo artist she has amassed a devout following including over 1,372,000 friends on her myspace.com page and thousands more checking her out at TLC.com/LA-Ink.

Corey MillerJoining Kat at her new shop is Corey Miller, a legend in the industry. Tattooing for over 25 years, this California native has inked people all around the world from Japan and Amsterdam to Hawaii and Paris. He specializes in black & gray portraits and dragons that merge the traditional and classic styles with his own. A true master, Corey is known for his freehand work, drawing the image directly onto the skin, foregoing any stencil. He has an extensive client list, including celebrities like James Hettfield from Metallica, Jason Giambi of the NY Yankees and Jesse James. In his spare time, this married father of three enjoys playing the drums.

Kim SaighA fanatical yoga practitioner, tattoo artist Kim Saigh takes a lot of the teachings of the discipline and puts it into her art. Allegorical and illustrative works that express movement and flow dominate Kim�s portfolio. Tattooing professionally for 16 years, Kim first got her start in her native Cleveland, moving to Chicago and opening her first shop a few years later. Kim now splits her time between LA and Chicago but always has her black Persian cat, Geezer with her.

Hannah AitchisonHannah Aitchison has been tattooing for over a decade. Specializing in bold, colorful, illustrative works including life-like portraits, pin-ups and classic Americana, Hannah enjoys a technical challenge in the tattoos she creates. A single mom, Hannah worked two and three jobs while apprenticing just to support her daughter. When not tattooing or spending time with her daughter, Hannah enjoys painting, knitting, boxing and traveling.

PixieLA INK shop manager, Pixie loves to surround herself with bright, colorful, �yummy� things. Judging by the elaborate, colorful tattoos of cupcakes, Care Bears and other assorted �happy� visions, and intense body modifications that adorn her body, Pixie has a zest for life. The former Fear Factor game show winner is a Pescatarian (vegetarian who eats fish), loves animals and lives in Los Angeles with her two pitbulls, Cup Cake and Chopper, and her cat, Monkey. Before moving to LA four years ago, Pixie was a body piercer at atattoo shop in Minnesota. These days, when not working at the shop she is a freelance make up artist.
