    I like to go through this thread every once in a while and I feel like more and more pictures are turning into blue question marks, am I the only one this is happening to?

    I've talked to many places that offer laser removal by now. Fade Fast in Dallas wanted $450 which would treat half the area at a time- decent price but half way across the country Karl @ Jinxproof gave wanted $250 which would treat half the area at a time- excellent price but clear across the country Dr. Ho was off his rocker and wanted $1000 which would treat 1/4 of the area at a time- $4k to treat the whole back?!? With these prices all over the place I wasn't sure what to expect today at the local dermatologist. I was ready to do some serious reasoning with the Dr. about why he should give me a decent price and was pretty disappointed when the appointment conformation call lady told me that I'd be seeing the Nurse Practitioner and not the Dr. Well, she turned out to be a super cool lady! She brought the Dr. in for a second opinion as not to charge to little and he told me that he charges an hourly rate of $600 and to treat half the area would take a half hour. I hoped that meant I'd pay $300 per session but the lowest he said he could do for a half hour of work is $400. Considering it's a 5 minute walk from my house I gladly accepted, my first appointment is on Thursday :D I'll be sure to keep the progress updated in a new thread......

    Marcus just began to travel from the East Coast to the West Coast in his RV making stops at numerous shops on the way for short guest spots. From what I understand he'll be filming the whole way and is hoping to get enough film for a couple of new episodes. He should land in Santa Barbara, where I live, in early January and he'll be here for around a month... hopefully long enough to do all the color in my sleeve! :D

    Right on Joe, thanks for doing some homework :) After a little research of my own I found out that in California you need to be a Doctor, Doctors assistant or a Nurse to perform procedures with a laser which explains why there's no tattooers or tattoo shops that offer removal. I'll look into those links though, I appreciate it :D

    thanks Joe, I did talk to Karl. He told me what he charges but unfortunately he's on the other side of the country. I'd go to him in a heartbeat if he was with in a few hours driving distance. Ideally I'd like to find a tattooer that does it, I'm sure the cost would be less and the treatment more. I'm just not aware of any that are near by, that's what I'm hoping to find here...

    Here's the tattoo I'd like removed, well, at least lightened in the black parts so I can cover it up with something new. I got it when I was 17/18 and now at 30 it's my only real regret as far as getting tattooed...

    I'm getting ready to have a consultation with a local dermatologist which is going to cost me $100 and if I decide to go with them that will go toward the first treatment. I'm a little worried though, the receptionist told me over the phone that the least she's seen someone spend is $250 and I'm sure that was a tiny tattoo... I'm looking to lighten my whole back :( I'm willing to pay a little extra for a local convenience but at the same time, I don't want to be bent over on the price. I'm in Santa Barbara but I'm willing to drive to LA if it's worth it. Any suggestions?

    I've been really into the geometry/3 dimensional tattoos lately. Though I'm running very low on space I'd love to be tattooed by Thomas Thomas and/or Xed Le Head. Sometimes I wonder if the more 3D ones will become the 'tribal of the 90's', I'm still diggin' it :D Unfortunately for those of us in the States, Thomas Hooper seems to be the only guy known to do it here. Here's some cool ones.... Thomas Thomas Chisaki's back done by Tomas Tomas Foot done by Chasaki Joe Munroe Cammy Stewart done by Xed Le Head Tattoos by Cammy Stewart

    it's rough waiting for that next session but once I"m finished with a multi session piece I wish it weren't done already!

    he got the skull from Thomas at the show last year, had Jondix add the background on Saturday and Thomas was adding to that on Sunday... Lucky guy he was!!
