Tattoo no more

This being my first time getting tattoo removal, I decided to look up experiences online on blogs and such. There were a range of reactions but the one that stood out the most to me was this blog about the pain being the most excruciating thing they ever felt. They said that the laser felt like they were getting branded with a hot iron like with cattle, just this searing hot pain that went right through you. After reading this I was a bit nervous about getting my tattoos removed by Andy but I had absolutely nothing to be afraid of. He answered all of my questions and alleviated all of my fears. For instance, I thought I would need numbing cream like lidocaine for the pain but he said all you need is ice. So he applied an ice pack to my tattoos and I basically felt nothing during the procedure. It felt like an elastic band flicking against my skin but was well within my levels of tolerable pain. I had read that lasering was more painful to get it than the original tattoo and that was completely false! So thank you very much Andy for your great service at for answering all my questions - you totally blasted by misconceptions about tattoo lasering away!
