I am getting my tattoo removed at Tattoo MD in LA. They use a YAG laser and a ruby laser, which seems to be working well for my tattoo, which has blues and blacks in it. Check them out at http://www.tattoomdla.com – I like them.
My wife just finished a book on this subject, it’s called Uninked! The Complete Guide To Tattoo Removal and it’s available on Amazon. Check it out at: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0979962900
It covers a lot of subjects regarding tattoo removal, like lasers and creams- in depth. If you’re considering tattoo removal it’s definitely worth a read.
I researched different removal techniques for my daughter for a while. Finally, I bought her Tat B Gone. Its only been one month so far, but she says the dark colors are beginning to fade. Its not cheap but if it works then its worth it. Also, she’s been using a product called Tattoo Camo to cover up her tattoo at work. It comes in different shades and stay on all day.
