Hi there.
So basically, I have a tattoo on my neck. This one:
And I want it gone.
I'll not bore you with details of why, but I will let you tut and roll your eyes. My parents both did. When I first got it, they both insisted that I'd tire of it, and want rid of it, and I insisted that I wouldn't, and all that.
It looks like they were right, the gits.
But anyway, I was never really keen on the idea of getting it removed with a laser (it seemed a bit too sci-fi for my liking...) so I never really thought about getting it removed much.
The tattoo itself is of three bear paw-prints, which I drew myself on a scrap of paper, and had done when I was 17 (which in itself is stupid, the legal age is 18) at a tattooist that I would no longer recommend, after having been to better studios since (
The Steel Paintbrush in Durham, namely: go there for your tattooing and piercing needs, if you're a Northerner.) Like I say, when I got them, I thought I'd want them forever, but things change.
So anyhoobs, I saw
this article on the Daily Mail website a week or two back, and it intrigued me. So I got to work looking about and reading up on this Rejuvi stuff, and asking people if they'd heard of it.
And I actually found out that a studio in Peterlee, my home town (not the one I got the tattoo at) offers Rejuvi (or at least, the E-raze website lists them as clients) as well as a few other places in the North.
So, tomorrow I'm going to take a wander to Peterlee Bodyart, ask a few questions, and possibly get a quote. If they don't offer it, I'll go to other studios in the North-East and ask. It won't be cheap, but then I deserve to pay through the nose for being such an idiot when I was 17.
Sorry for this boring introduction, hopefully there'll be some pictures up to chronicle this little adventure (yes, I said adventure; no I have no life.)
And hopefully, if my tattoo removal is a success, other people will be able to follow my lead, and get their unwanted tattoos - be they badly done portraits, ex-girlfriends' names or just crap fads that were done on a whim - removed without having to be zapped by lasers.
:)
