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:

Here is a tattoo removal video in which a young lady has a laser tattoo removal treatment on some vines on her stomach at a Dr. TATTOFF clinic. Note that as she has already had a few tattoo removal treatments, the ink is already quite faded. She will need just a couple more treatments for the tattoo to be completely gone, and all she will be left with is her original ink-free skin.

In this tattoo removal video a young man has a laser tattoo removal treatment on a crucifix on his left hand at a Dr. TATTOFF clinic. Since this tattoo is clearly amateur ink, it will come out in just a few short treatments. It is amazing to see how removing a tattoo that no longer represents the person it is on can change their lives in a short amount of time. We are literally seeing pasts erased and fresh starts taking place before our eyes.

This tattoo removal video shows a laser tattoo removal procedure of a young woman having a flower tattoo lasered off of her ankle a Dr. TATTOFF clinic. She has had a few laser tattoo removal procedures before this one, and will need a few more, but she is responding well and in all likelihood when her procedures are completed there will never be a sign that the tattoo was there at all.
