Anyone else see this on Tattoo Snob today?

D’inked – A Tattoo Removal Documentary : TattooSnob: The High End of Low-Brow

I can see getting some small, bad tattoos removed (at least to make room for good new ones) -- but an entire half-sleeve? Crazy.

Just watched it. Some thoughts

The bulk of the tattoos I saw there I had no problem getting removed but the one guys arm tattoo looked ok. I didn't see a need to remove it (why not add?). I have only flirted with the idea of removing one of my tattoos but only because it just doesn't look right in the overall plan I have.

Like my tattoo artist said "why bother removing it now, just put a bunch of cool ones around it!".

I removed a whole back piece.

Respect!

You're a braver man than I, @ian.

I agree -- that one dude's arm didn't look bad, and it looked recent too. Also: when you get laser, is it common bleed like that?

[ian]

I gotta say, watching that clip made me cringe when they showed the lasering parts. That guys half sleeve was pretty solid, I don't think I would have done my back if it were so saturated.

Mine never bled and I don't believe that @Scott R had any bleeding, I'm not sure how normal that is. Maybe @jinxproof1996 can chime in...

I dont think I had any bleeding, i did get some tree sap blisters and put pics in the cover up thread

I have also had laser done (6 sessions) and did not bleed.
