1st I've heard regarding saline removal was last week. You'd think that if it worked really well and had been around for more than 10 years that there'd be more hype and discussion about it already . . .
Quite a bit of that is pretty light. I think the need for lasering (or not) would highly depend on the artist's abilities/style/vision and how forgiving you want to be about some stray lines that might be in the background and mostly noticed only by you.
Where do you live?
Every time I've used it the leaking has stopped after the 1st 24 hrs. If you're still producing sludge after 3 days I'd personally be inclined to unwrap it, let it dry out and get a better visual of what's going on.
In my mind and over the decades of wearing art, I prefer images to literal wording.
Having said that, there is some truly awesome script/font artwork out there.
Neotraditional in Ohio? You're in heaven.
