Bye Bye Ugly Porn Star Tattoos

by Darklady

Whether fast-forwarding or viewing XXX action at regular speed, we've all seen them and winced, grimaced, or flat-out said they were ugly. I'm not talking about bad boob jobs, greasy or fried hair, or even hideous butt or coochie blemishes. I'm talking about those prison-quality tattoos that some otherwise lovely porn performers somehow incorrectly decided would enhance their natural charms or reveal the depth of their undying love for somebody they probably dumped years ago.

Like many opinionated porn lovers, performers within the industry are coming to the conclusion that ugly body art has just gotta go. But how?

Dr. Tattoff to the rescue!

In a city that thrives on extreme body modification commonly called plastic surgery, few have blinked an eye while small breasts have ballooned to monster proportions, labias have been nipped and tucked, cheeks have been raised, noses have been bobbed, lips have been collagen injected, or fannies have been fluffed. But piercings and tattoos have raised eyebrows higher than the most overpriced body butcher – and some of the human canvases have begun to think that maybe even these jaded observers of the female form might have a point.

But tattoos, unlike marriage contracts or political promises, have pretty much been forever... until now.

James Morel is an entertainment entrepreneur who uses "the newest laser technology" to remove tattoos swiftly and without scarring. When he's not producing E!'s Star Dates, he's facilitating outpatient procedures for heavenly bodies – as Dr. Tattoff, all in the name of helping make pornography even more beautiful.

Unlike what Morel claims is "the old technique of bleach and a Brillo pad," the cutting-edge laser technology is performed on Saturdays by appointment only in Morel's Beverly Hills office. According to Morel, the new treatment is not only faster, simpler, and safer than previous procedures, but it's also more affordable... which is not to say that it's cheap. Typical laser related tattoo removals run $100 - $400 per treatment, which may hurt more than the procedure itself – although that's gonna sting a little too, so don't forget your topical anesthetic. Although most professionally done tattoos take between six and eight treatments to make vanish, dark-skinned individuals will experience far greater success with laser removal than with the more primitive dermabrasion, salasbrasion, and acid techniques. Likewise, all skin types will recover more quickly, but can still expect a certain amount of pain, potential for some scarring, skin texture alterations, or incomplete removal, and an extended recovery period.

The Dr. Tattoff website contains information about tattoo removal, details about the company's "ugliest tattoo" contest, an email link for further questions or appointments, and gift certificates for those who really want to show their loved one how special they are. Those wanting to talk to a human being and not wait for an email response can call 888-TAT-TOFF.
