If you’ve started Q-switched laser tattoo removal and find it too uncomfortable to continue, you’ve come to the right place. Unthink Inc. and laser expert Jim can completely remove your tattoo in less time (and discomfort).

Depending on which area of your body you’ve decided to get a tattoo, going under the needle can be more or less uncomfortable. Similarly, the nature of your laser tattoo removal sessions (and healing process) can differ.

Although everyone has a different pain threshold, there are certain factors that can determine how uncomfortable your tattooing experience will be. Depending on how thin or thick the skin is in that area; how close the area is to a bone; and the amount of nerve endings within the area; you will feel more or less uncomfortable.

Nerve endings are the millions of tiny points on the surface of your skin that work to send messages to your brain whenever you feel a sensation. Areas with a high number of nerve endings tend to be more sensitive, therefore when in contact with a tattoo needle, can be especially painful. Large amounts of nerve endings are usually in areas that react sensitively to touch, like those with thin skin or small joints. When there is less fat or muscle to separate the tattoo needle from either an abundance of nerve endings or a bone, the tattoo experience will be more painful.[/cs_text][x_line style=”border-top-width: 1px;”][cs_text]

Generally speaking, these are the most painful areas to have a tattoo:

Head
Behind the ear
Knuckles/Fingers
Inside of the wrist
Elbows
Chest/Ribs
Along the spine
Behind the knee
Ankle
Top of the foot

Any reputable tattoo artist will offer you the choice to use anesthetic before the procedure begins; however, this will not affect any soreness or pain that will inevitably come in the weeks post-treatment.

The best Laser Tattoo Removal Technology

At Unthink Inc., we use one of the most comfortable tattoo removal lasers on the market. Oftentimes clients who come to Unthink Inc. have become tattoo removal processes elsewhere and stopped because the pain was too much to endure. Traditional tattoo removal lasers such as the Q-Switched laser, are less efficient as they produce slower pulses drawing out the entire removal process. Compared to Q-Switched lasers, Syneron Candela’s PicoWay laser can achieve complete clearance in approximately half the number of sessions.

If you’ve started tattoo sessions or laser removal sessions that are too painful to continue, contact Unthink Inc. With our advanced technology and experience, we are confident in our ability to take over and finish the job.[/cs_text][/cs_column][/cs_row][/cs_section][cs_section parallax=”false” separator_top_type=”none” separator_top_height=”50px” separator_top_angle_point=”50″ separator_bottom_type=”none” separator_bottom_height=”50px” separator_bottom_angle_point=”50″ class=”cs-ta-center” style=”margin: 0px;padding: 45px 0px;”][cs_row inner_container=”true” marginless_columns=”false” style=”margin: 0px auto;padding: 0px;”][cs_column fade=”false” fade_animation=”in” fade_animation_offset=”45px” fade_duration=”750″ type=”1/1″ style=”padding: 0px;”][x_button size=”global” block=”false” circle=”true” icon_only=”false” href=”https://unthink.ca/contact/” title=”” target=”blank” info=”none” info_place=”top” info_trigger=”hover” info_content=””]Finish Removing Your Tattoo Now[/x_button][/cs_column][/cs_row][/cs_section][/cs_content]
