This is a recent article that I wrote on laser tattoo removal alternatives, based on the clients who have come into my office. If you've been considering tattoo removal with anything other than a qualified laser tech, please read this article.

In a nutshell all non-laser techniques rely on abrasive tissue destruction and thus will leave some form of scaring.

Yes, that's the TL;DR version.

I was tricked into paying for that shit, it was called Tatt2Away. The studio advised me against regular laser removal, they told me I would get cancer and what not. I was stupid and desperate enough to trust them. My arm now looks horrible, the tattoo is still there between all the scar tissue and everyone always ask me if/why I self-harm. My life has become considerably worse :(

The company behind this shit treatment is called Rejuvatek Medical, and they need to be put out of business. I've reported them to some US health-departments, I advice you all to do the same.

I suggest you write a negative review on their google page since there are currently no reviews. This i will help steer future clients away. Sorry to hear about that!

Yeah I will. There are a few positive "reviews" under their YouTube-scam-videos, left by people pretending to be happy customers, but those people are in fact working for that crooked company, ex. Judi Perkins and Jack Savage. (verified using LinkedIn)

Terribly sorry you’re going through all that.

Hey mike why do you need to shave before a tattoo removal

2

The hair will absorb a small amount of the laser energy, and the smell can be nauseating for the client (burnt hair).

Is it ok to shave it right before the procedure? I also wanted to know your aftercare process so I can compare it to the one I’m going to today. Thanks in advance !

This thread probably isn’t the best place for these questions, as it’s about non-laser tattoo removal.

I ask clients to shave the night before.

My policy is not to give aftercare to clients not treated in my office, in your case I don’t want undermine the clinic you’re going to because their protocols for how they do things might work for them, and for liability reasons for my business. Hope you understand.
