At Dr. TATTOFF one of the most common requests we get from new patients is to view before and after pictures of laser tattoo removal. We take pictures at every single treatment but we only make these available for others to see with a patient’s permission. Needless to say, because many patients are trying to erase the past they never want their old tattoo to see the light of day. But many patients are so thrilled that their tattoo is gone that they are more than happy to make their wonderful results known. CLICK HERE to see laser tattoo removal before and after pictures.

Dr. TATTOFF didn’t invent tattoo removal, we just happen to be the experts at it. In actuality tattoo removal has been around in one form or another for a really long time. The first earthly prescription for tattoo removal is from the Byzantine physician Aetius who wrote, “First clean the stigmata with niter, smear them with resin of terebing, and bandage for five days.”

Surgeon Lionel Wafer described an attempt to remove a tattoo from the face of one of his companions during his travels in the mid-1600s. In 1879, the Daily Democrat of Sedalia, Mo., ran a story titled, “In a Bad Fix”, which describes the plight of a jilted society woman who’d had her former lover’s name tattooed on her leg.

Tattoo removal has been around since tattoos have, but Dr. TATTOFF has perfected it into an art!

At Dr. TATTOFF, we try to make laser tattoo removal very affordable and offer access to different payment plans but on certain occasions a particular patient can’t afford treatment. Luckily for them, a few times a year we offer our services for free. Yep, that’s right… patients who can’t afford laser tattoo removal can come to see us on selected days and we’ll treat their tattoo at no charge. We’re very proud of Operation Ink Off! It’s a great feeling to help people in need. To watch a video of the first Operation Ink Off please CLICK HERE.

Most patients want their entire tattoo removed but some only want a small area to disappear. As an example, at Dr. TATTOFF we had a patient who had a piece of art that contained the name of his ex-girlfriend. He just wanted the name removed, not the whole tattoo. An experienced laser operator can be very detailed and precise in their laser tattoo removal treatment. Fairly often, a tattoo artist will bring a client to Dr. TATTOFF and show us exactly what small portion of a tattoo they want removed so that it can later be corrected with new ink.
