HOW DOES LASER WORK?
WHATEVER THE TATTOO, WHATEVER THE CIRCUMSTANCE BEHIND IT, TATTOOS ARE A PERMANENT DECISION.
MODERN TECHNOLOGY MEANS THAT YOU CAN FADE A TATTOO THAT YOU’VE FALLEN OUT OF LOVE WITH OR AGED OUT OF.
LASER TATTOO REMOVAL IS PREDOMINANTLY USED TO FADE A TATTOO ENOUGH TO ACHIEVE A COVER UP, BUT GOOD RESULTS CAN BE ACHIEVED IN JUST GETTING RID. IT’S A PROCESS THAT TAKES TIME AND REQUIRES COMMITMENT AND IT DOESN’T HAPPEN OVER NIGHT.
A FULL CONSULTATION, SKIN SCALE ASSESSMENT AND PATCH TEST PRIOR TO LASER IS REQUIRED AS PART OF INDUSTRY GUIDELINES.
THE SCIENCE
LOVE IT OR HATE IT A TATTOO IS PERMANENT BECAUSE THE PARTICLES OF INK ARE TOO LARGE FOR YOUR BODY TO REMOVE NATURALLY.
A TATTOO FADES WITH TIME BECAUSE THAT INK STARTS TO BREAK DOWN OVER THE DECADES AND WILL APPEAR LESS VIVID AND DARK.
IN SIMPLE TERMS THE LASER IS SPEEDING UP THIS PROCESS. THE IS PENETRATING DOWN TO THE LAYER IN WHICH THE INK SITS IN THE SKIN AND SMASHING THE PARTICLES OF INK INTO SMALLER PARTICLES SO THAT YOUR BODY CAN DISPEL THE INK THROUGH THE BODIES FILTER SYTEM E.G YOUR KIDNEY’S.
OVER A PERIOD OF SESSIONS AND TIME THE TATTOO IS VISIBLY FADED.
BEFORE & AFTER
LASER
THE LASER PROCESS IS NOT SOMETHING TO BE ENTERED INTO LIGHTLY. YOU DON’T GET A BLANK SLATE WITH A TATTOO, IT’S A PERMANENT PROCESS.
WHAT YOU CAN GET IS AN AMAZING OUTCOME JUST LIKE DAVINA, YOUR OLD TATTOO THAT YOU HATE GONE AND SOMETHING THAT YOU LOVE IN ITS PLACE, IT TAKES DEDICATION TO STICK AT IT.
THE LASER PROCESS IS A LONG ONE, ALTHOUGH THE SESSIONS THEMSELVES ARE QUICK, THERE ARE A NUMBER OF WEEKS BETWEEN EACH SESSION AND IT’S NOT SOMETHING THAT IS DONE IN ONE OR TWO SESSIONS.
ON THE ABOVE EXAMPLE WE DID SIX SESSIONS IN TOTAL ON THE BUTTERFLY TO GET IT TO A LEVEL THAT ELIZABETH COULD DO THE TATTOO COVER UP.
-
Before Laser - Original Tattoo
-
The Tattoo is starting to fade
-
We continue with the Laser process - Elizabeth Snooks one of our artists here at Kings Ship starts the design process
-
Tattoo Day -It's the day of the the cover up and you can see how much Laser has worked for Davina . All that really remains of the original tattoo is the blue and pink ink, as the laser is not able to remove those colours
-
Cover Up - The placement of the roses are absolutely perfect, you wouldn't even know that the butterfly was there. What a difference and a life changing tattoo for the client. She can now show off her new tattoo rather than hiding an old butterfly which she hated.
-
Healed Photo - Davina sent over this healed shot of her cover up. So that Elizabeth can see how everything has settled. It's absolutely flawless
