Tattoo Removal
When you were young, you most likely made some choices that you’ve come to regret as an adult. Perhaps you skipped your last year of college in favor of a big job and now find yourself returning to school. Maybe you’re among the many baby boomers who spent considerable time on mood-altering substances or as a teen decided that driving fast was more fun than keeping your license.
Of all the mistakes you could have made, however, one stands out as being quite a bit more permanent than others — getting a tattoo. Long gone are the days when the only people getting tattoos are drunken sailors and outlaws. Anyone with a tinge of the rebel or a desire to fit in gets inked these days. And just as many live to regret the choice, especially when it’s in a place that you can’t easily cover up.
All symptoms, potential procedural/surgical options should always be discussed with your physician after a thorough consultation and examination for an accurate diagnosis and treatment plan.
Inked Skin
Tattoos literally invade your skin. They’re made by needles that create puncture wounds deep into your layers of skin and deposit ink. The reason tattoos last so long is because of the depth of their insertion — well below the upper layer, or epidermis, and far into the dermis, which is the stable second layer of your skin. Tattoo artists mostly use mechanical equipment now to insert the ink. Run by a foot pedal, the needle is attached to a tube filled with ink and when it’s set in the right spot, digs about 1/16th of an inch into your skin. Getting a tattoo can be painful, depending on where it’s located. Fatty parts of your body feel less pain than areas of skin close to bone with little or no padding.
