Before I tell you who I am and what I’m about, I’ll tell you why I do tattoo removal. I’m not anti-tattoo. I’ve been in a similar pair of tattooed regret shoes. Fixing that regret and helping someone feel better, makes me feel good. And…I get to play with a laser.
I came from the tattoo industry so when I look at your tattoo, I see what non-tattooist miss, thus helping the removal process. I am a Certified Tattoo Removal Specialist. That being said, a tattoo removal certification makes someone as qualified to remove tattoos as a driver’s license qualifies someone to win the Indy 500. I was my first guinea pig. I started with one tattoo and continued to remove most of my tattoos (as an Ex-Tattooist, I had a few). Going through that experience taught me the most. I learned how to make the process more comfortable and most effective without causing the more adverse reactions and scarring that many removal places do.
There are many reasons people want a tattoo removed: It doesn’t mean the same thing to them (or it says Soup in Mandarin), they hate what or maybe Who it stood for, placement, it didn’t turn out the way they wanted it, spell check may not have been an option. The reasons go on and on but no matter what the reason for someone feeling bad about a tattoo, I’m sure I have a story that could probably make them feel better.
Some people want to completely remove a tattoo and when I see the tattoo in person, I can give you a much more thorough explanation of what to expect, best and worst case scenarios. Others want to fade their tattoo for a cover-up. We work with many shops and artists. Together we can get you the tattoo that you truly want and try to minimize the cost where we can. I removed my tattoos so I could start all over. Every tattoo I have now was done by tattoo artists that were clients of mine. We simply traded work.
Like getting a tattoo, I would recommend not focusing on the distance you have to travel or the cost of tattoo removal, but focus on getting the work done by the right person so you don’t have a permanent reminder of what you should have done. Tattoos may not always be forever but the scar from bad tattoo removal will be. We have people travelling very far distances and even flying into Toronto for removal from us.
I must be doing something right, I hurt people for a living, they thank me, pay me and later they come back and we do it again. Just read a few reviews….My sense of humour may be questionable but have no doubt, I take my work very seriously.
