Tattoo removal
Bro, I've had one removed on my arm. It is a laser surgury procedure whick usually requires 3 to five treatments depending on the color and density of the tattoo. All black ones are generally the easier ones to remove I was told. Each treatment cost me 200 dollars. Not cheap. It took four treatments before the tat was completely gone. Each treatment will lighten the tat until it eventually fades out. Its a little painful. More painful than the tattoo itself. Feels lke someone popping a rubberband every second on your arm. And its going to be sore for a week because it gives you a slight burn. Nothing you can't handle though bro. Your also going to have to wait at least one month, I think, between procedures, to let your body heal. Look aroud and find a good doctor. You don't wan't no second class quack to do this procedure. Good luck with the tats and best of luck with the modeling career.

Tattoo removal
There wasn't any scarring J. The old abrasive method where they basically scraped it off with a brillo pad left a lot of scars I heard. There wasn't any with the laser. I would post a pic if I could tatty, but I had another tattoo placed over the area. Not because of scarring or anything just a design I liked a lot. You can partially see it on my right forearm in the members pic file under New pic. Or you can go to living canvas.net, look for tattoo artist Wiley, its featured on their site under his work. You can see from that pic their is no scarring on the arm. Its an American flag with Jesus and USMC around it. I designed it myself.It represents the Marine pledge; God, Country, Core. Peace.

Thats crazy Bro. I was in Los Angeles at the time and I thought 200.00 dollars a treatment was a little high. That doc was full of shit. Glad you did what you did. Look around a little for 200.00 dollar price. Best of luck Bro. Peace and Take Care.

Very Interesting. I to have several tats and I must say that I like all of them but one. Really don't know why I picked this particular one. It has a womens face surounded by a skull type of head dress. 200 bucks a pop you say? That really ain't that bad.

Ya Bro, it was 200 dollars a treatment. I had to look around a little though. This was several years ago also, so maybe the price has went down some. My Tat was large also, 10 by 6 inches. A smaller one should be cheaper. Best of luck.

Why remove it? Have you seen Tyson Bigford(?) he's got sleaves bro! I tell you what I work in business environment and you wouldn't believe the amount of people that have tattoo's!
I was trying to get into acting/modeling when I lived in Cali, and all they did was take pics with and with makeup over it...alot of times the put you in close that cover them, and not to mention they can alter the photo. Trust me they do it alot! I wouldn't worry about losing a tat! they should be a part of you... hell I'm looking for a 1/2 sleeve, and I'm a responsible adult! (gotta cover my ex's name ***a whole other no no story!***)

I have nothing wrong with Tyson...wish I could afford the amount of work he has had done. Not to mention he has a WCC-CFL chopper I'd kill to have....if I could be him I would! I can only imagine the women that he's racked up!
