How do you know if it's time for Laser Tattoo Removal

December 1, 2022

Getting a tattoo can be a momentous occasion, whether for fun or as a tribute to a loved one. Unfortunately, not all tattoos maintain their value; for some people, having a tattoo causes dissatisfaction or upset. It’s worse when the tattoo artist misspelled a word or isn’t the artist they thought they were.


So, how do you know when to get
laser tattoo removal? First, let’s explore some of the deciding factors for getting a tattoo removed.


Reason 1: You Don’t Feel Confident in Your Tattoo


Tattoos are deeply personal, and everyone has preferences for style, colour, and placement. They get them for significant occasions, milestones, or to honour a loved one.


Yet, people’s tastes shift as they change, and sometimes they don’t feel their tattoo represents who they are any longer. For example, that DIY attempt in high school doesn’t hold water to what a professional artist can do. Or, in some cases, the theme is embarrassing now that you’re married with children.


You may not feel comfortable or confident with your tattoo for many reasons, so it may be time to remove it.


Reason 2: You Try to Hide Your Tattoo


Sometimes, you may feel your tattoo is inappropriate or may create speculation about your character. Unfortunately, it happens all too often, even as tattoos become more commonplace. 


Here are some examples of why you may try to hide your tattoo:

  • A new relationship
  • An employer doesn’t allow visible tattoos
  • The image is inappropriate
  • Poor quality or a spelling mistake
  • Affiliations to nefarious groups


If you are tired of trying to disguise your tattoo, having it permanently removed may be less inconvenient than always wearing long-sleeved clothing or using make-up.


Reason 3: You’re No Longer With the Person Your Tattoo Signifies


One of the biggest reasons people have their tattoos removed is because it has the name or image of a person from a past relationship. Not only is the reminder painful or upsetting, but it can make future relationships somewhat awkward. It isn’t limited to romantic relationships either; people with matching friendship tattoos also experience buyer’s remorse when they have a falling out.


There are tattoo artists that flat-out refuse to do couple tattoos because of the regret factor. It signifies the extent people opt for laser tattoo removal later on down the road.


Reason 4: You Keep Trying to Explain Your Tattoo


Repeatedly explaining the meaning behind your tattoo, or perhaps even translating it from another language, could persuade you to have it removed rather than continue. It may even be a case where you thought the design or saying was unmistakable, but it turned out to be more obscure or questionable than you intended.


People get tattoos for many reasons. For one, they think it would give them a sense of belonging or self-worth. Perhaps you thought you would be accepted more socially, and it backfired. If your tattoo gives you a sense of low self-worth or doesn’t express your style, it is time to say goodbye.

Eyebrow tattoos have become an increasingly popular beauty trend, offering a semi-permanent solution for those seeking perfectly shaped and defined brows. However, not everyone ends up satisfied with their results. Whether it's due to a change in aesthetic preferences, an allergic reaction, or less-than-desirable outcomes, you might find yourself considering removal. At Unthink Inc. , we specialize in helping clients achieve the look they want through effective removal methods. Here’s a comprehensive guide on when to consider eyebrow tattoo removal with a combination of saline injections and laser treatment. Understanding Eyebrow Tattoos and Their Risks Before diving into when to consider removal, it's crucial to understand what eyebrow tattoos entail. Typically, these tattoos are a form of cosmetic tattooing, where pigment is implanted into the skin to create the appearance of fuller, darker eyebrows. While many are thrilled with the results, there are potential risks involved. The process can cause skin damage, infections, or allergic reactions, which in turn may lead you to reconsider your decision. Symptoms Indicating Removal Might Be Necessary 1. Faded or Uneven Pigment: Over time, the pigment used in eyebrow tattoos can fade or turn into an undesirable color, especially with exposure to sunlight. If your eyebrow tattoos have started to look uneven or have changed color, it might be an indication that removal is your best option for a fresh start. 2. Allergic Reactions: Unfortunately, not everyone’s skin reacts well to tattoo pigments. Allergic reactions can result in redness, itching, or swelling. If you experience these symptoms, removal could alleviate discomfort and help restore your skin to its natural state. 3. Discomfort or Scarring: The tattooing process can sometimes damage your skin, causing discomfort or scarring. If your eyebrow tattoos have left visible scars or if you have ongoing discomfort, removal can potentially improve the appearance of your skin, reducing both visible and physical distress. 4. Change in Aesthetic Preferences: Your style and preferences can evolve over time. What seemed like a perfect choice five years ago might no longer align with your current taste or beauty goals. If your eyebrow tattoos don't fit your desired look anymore, removal offers a safe and effective way to reclaim your natural brows. The Dual Approach: Saline Injections and Laser Tattoo Removal For those considering removal, Unthink Inc. offers a unique approach combining saline injections and the PicoWay laser treatment. This dual method is designed to deliver optimal results tailored to individual client needs. 1. Saline Injections for Lighter Pigments: In some cases, saline injections may be recommended to lift lighter pigments before proceeding with laser treatment. This helps to create a more uniform appearance and prepares the brows for effective laser removal. Our specialists, will work closely with you to coordinate the saline process, ensuring a smoother transition to laser treatments. 2. PicoWay Laser for Final Touches: Once the lighter pigments are addressed, the PicoWay laser is employed to remove the remaining darker elements of the unwanted brows. Known for its precision and safety, this state-of-the-art technology targets the tattoo pigment with minimal impact on the surrounding skin. Preparing for Your Removal Session Before undergoing treatment, a consultation with a qualified specialist at Unthink Inc. is vital. We’ll assess your tattoos and discuss your goals and expectations. Here are some tips to prepare for your session: - Avoid sun exposure at least two weeks before your appointment to reduce skin sensitivity. - Refrain from using topical creams or medications that can make your skin more sensitive. - Communicate any skin conditions or concerns with your technician. Recovery and Aftercare Post-treatment care is essential for optimal results. After your session, you may experience some redness or swelling around the treated area. To ensure a smooth recovery, follow these aftercare tips: - Avoid sun exposure and apply sunscreen as advised. - Keep the treated area clean and moisturized. - Refrain from picking at any scabs or flaky skin.
