Dr. Tattoff and nurse Sarah Brice were featured on Kat Von D's tv show, LA Ink, last week. On the show, Sarah gave the shop manager, Aubry, a consultation for laser tattoo removal on a lower back tattoo. This type of tattoo is often referred to as a tramp stamp, and we remove tattoos from this region of the body quite frequently. In the video, Aubry asks questions related to tattoo removal for her particular piece, and Sarah provides answers to her. Some points of note:

• White tattoo ink is hard to treat. It can turn gray.
• Blisters resulting from laser tattoo removal are normal, but if not properly taken care of they can scar. At Dr. Tattoff we provide clear aftercare instructions to minimize the risks of scarring. We've seen scarring only on very, very rare occasion and when it does happen it's typically because the patient didn't follow the aftercare instructions.
• Laser tattoo removal takes multiple sessions and can take a year or more. Patients need to be committed to getting the procedure done before they begin their first treatment.

Here's a clip of Aubry's laser tattoo removal consultation:
