How to Get a Tattoo : Tattoo Removal Tips & Advice

[TheLadydragon81]

this man deserves so much respect for his professionalism !!!!!!

[ryanncwsp]

Removal may have and still does (some places) cost 100x the price of the tattoo.  I've been quoted thousands for mine but after looking I found a place that does it for $150 flat rate per session with the revlite. There is still hope if you go the right place that want diminish your funds. It's a monopoly!

[TheAlexBradley]

I have a good idea, tattoo over it with skin colored ink,

[ddaannii11003300]

@TheAlexBradley lol trust me that doesnt work. i actually had my 4th removal session today. it hurts like hell.

[rockeyrohm]

i have a ruff idea/childish like sketch of the tattoo i want. Can tattoo artist take my idea make it into real art or if u are getting a tattoo do u u need to pick one of the options in the artist catalog? sorry for the noob question i know nothing about tattoos

[Pokerislife7]

I hate advertisements!!!

[sshort123]

hes right. people with dumb meaningless tattoos r retarded. 

[mlb3270]

Very cool...Words from a veteran!!! Pay attention ghetto kids looking for a better price...

[supercolourme]

thank you!

[venusloveful]

gosh! tattoo's shoudn't exist

[smashingprincess]

i agree with what the guys saying..personally im not removing my tattoo because I dont like it anymore..just stupid military issues. i love all my tats.

[olesne]

What a load of horse crap. Tattooing is like putting a bumper sticker on a car you drove in highschool. The car and the slogan will get old. Think before you ink kids.

[toadabc]

If only the people getting tattoos had the brains to understand what he was saying, there would be a lot less bad ink out there.

[metalkidjohn]

I disagree with your statement. I find that I'm most likely your intellectual superior, yet I have a tattoo. Do you want to challenge me to a trivia contest? How about a spelling bee? Debate? Mathematics? I guarantee that you will lose.

[xXdaveXsuperstarXx]

I believe I am your intellectual superior, in logic. You can memorize all the calculus formulas and still be an idiot, like you..... (burnnnnn)

[metalkidjohn]

Yes, I see your logic. Simply by the power of scant suggestion, you have automatically elevated yourself to near godlike cognition. Why didn't I think oof that before? I'm jealous. I want to make wild assumptions that cannot be backed up and are based on absolutely nothing but the lack of a cranium, which has, instead, been replaced by another penis. I am so jealous of you. "Duh, burnnnnn." That's my imitation of you. Fairly accurate, I'm sure.

[xXdaveXsuperstarXx]

@metalkidjohn

It wasn't meant to be really serious. So I am going to save the breath and simply say:

SARCASM FAIL / WAY TO SERIOUS NUT

On a more technical note, I quoted your line "your intellectual superior" and you claim I elevated my nearly elevated myself to a god like cognition. Using simple logic (something you lack) we can say that you also elevated yourself to a nearly (you'd freak if I didn't say it) godlike cognition.

[metalkidjohn]

No. The fact that I paid attention in class, instead of smoking pot and giving head in the teachers' lounge, as you obviously did, made me smart. If you are insinutating that I'm way "too" serious, you might add another "o" to the end of "too", unless you want to look like more of an idiot than you really are. I take pride in my contetual abilities, as should anyone that actually made it out of high school. By they way, I would still like to see your logic. It must be that you "believe" it.

[xXdaveXsuperstarXx]

WAY TO SERIOUS can be used as an expression, in theory, But WAY TOO SERIOUS NUTS can't be argued with as their title suggests. Okay, I'll explain my logic like you're a 2 year old (which you probably are), if "a=1" and "a=1" What does a equal?

[metalkidjohn]

A obviously equals 1. U equals insane dipshit, however.

[metalkidjohn]

By the way, explain to me how you "serious". What is the action you describe as "seriousing"?

[xXdaveXsuperstarXx]

@metalkidjohn

You just explained it.

[emilyruth4god]

@xXdaveXsuperstarXx dude dont waste your beathe with that guy lol I agree with what u said....some people dont think at all when they get tattoos, Ive seen some BAD ink out there -_-

[rockistahpunkistah]

thank for this advice,

now i change my mind of having my tattoo removed! ^^

[toadabc]

How exactly did you "find" your superiority? You must have known that I never did well in spelling bees. So, bottom line, you like bad ink uh?

[saintrith]

cool. great video and advice!

[offthewallinc2]

i have one half sleeve and a full sleeve, full backpiece, chest piece, shin sleeve, and knuckle tattoos, and i don't regret any of them

[HunterMann]

I got a PHISH tattoo, then they broke up, so I got it removed, then they got back together so I am getting inked again. hey Phish: Make up yer minds!

[oldbag699]

i saw another vid with the girl having a co2 removal it looked very painful and didnt look very seccessful is this a common way of removing the tatt

[chesterb01]

totally agree

[talesofd323]

salabrasion uses salt and yeah, it is barbaric. Dermabrasion is when the top layeres of the skin is sanded down with a rotary tool to encourage new skin growth. it's very effective for removing scars, wrinkles and tattoos. I've seen results.

[LiquidWave32]

I've been looking a lot into DIY tattoo removal, though there is some idiotic stuff out there, I think that with great time and patience that an effective removal of tattoos is possible without much cost. Best thing I've seen is using heavy fading creme to lower the cost and scarring of laser tattoo removal, but dermabrasion with home materials deserves some research as well.

[bluntsmoker666]

Don't diss this guy, he's been in the industry for a long time, ive actually seen him win many awards at the toronto tattoo festival.That was great advice shotzee,at least he's sayin somethin,warning people that if your gonna get a tatoo its 4 life, so think long and hard and for fuck sakes get a good tattoo artist . An artist is someone who scetches out a tat, possibly draw exactly what you are thinking, or have the balls to tell you thats a weak tatoo and and you wont be happy in the future.

[tazace]

great advice tbh. i was stupid enough to get the worst tribal ever when i was young cos i thought it was cool. and now im stuck with it! wish id never had it done.

[amalgamation25]

you can always get something else tattooed over it, just an idea.

[ShinDaMadness]

Wow..you must have been raped by your dad or something to be so pissed at someone who is giving advice...

[SouthPark634]

yea what a loser

[highlycompatible]

LMFAO

[arykhoon]

nicely put

[darkingeyes]

ok what if i didnt get what i want as tattoo because of the artist himself . and then i decide to remove my tattoo to get the same one but BETTER ? should i remove it by scratching it or by laser and u know that laser cost alot and there is no way to cover my tattoo .

[metalkidjohn]

Take a picture of it,so you know the basics of what you want, then get someone else to make it better. The removal choice is yours to make.

[abraxangirl]

thats why i dnt want to gt my future tattoo removed

[xdotxdotxdotx]

you have really just convinced me 101% to get my tattoo now :)

its gonna say "change" in arabic or "تغير "

and it represents myself moving from one stage of my life to another :)

im getting it next monday.

So excited :D

[walkingmod]

OoOoOo CHANGE big whoop

[xdotxdotxdotx]

yup yuppp XD

I got it :)

I love it :D

[xdotxdotxdotx]

u were being sarcastic wernt u ...

lol..

ass.

[metalkidjohn]

It obiously means a lot. I say go for it, unlike this douchenozzle.

[smada9]

Only have a RevLite or MedLite laser remove the tattoo all the others scar or do nothing. Cost is ten times what it cost to put it on,

[M3SS3D420]

Yeah I guess I am a little bit retarded for thinking I need to talk to someone about my own problems

[M3SS3D420]

I have two tattoos that i can honestly say that when i see them i despise myself for getting them not that i dont like tattoos i just dont like what they stand for or why i got them

[damnsam8931]

Well then you sir, are retarded.

[wombraider281]

get it covered up

[DeMiiiiii12]

thats very inspiring actual

[MetallicAfanboy87]

good advice.. im looking to get a tattoo, but keeping it.. but when you said they use salt..OUCH

[snakeman619]

wow nice advise real smart

[HeadNtheClouds]

I have 'Thing 1" from cat in the hat , my exhusband, haha, has thing2, we are still fatal friends.

My other tattoo is a dolphin jumping out of a wave in the ocean, then I got this stupid impulsive japanese writing in SanFrancisco & the lady didn't do the japanese writing correctly. I had a picture & everything & she put the accent mark in the wrong place, so it doesn't mean what I wanted it to.

[metalkidjohn]

Just out of curiosity, did it change the meaning drastically? It'd be ironici f it were the exact opposite.

[HeadNtheClouds]

no, it's just wrong, she did the part? on the left side completely backwards, put the accent in the wrong place, left out the line that was supposed to go inbetween the top part & the bottom part. I have no idea if it says anything comprehensable. I just know japanese people have laughed when they look at it & I have the dictionary & know it's wrong. , hmm, maybe I'll get it removed...

[metalkidjohn]

Might be a good idea, especially if Japanese people are laughing. It'd be pretty awkward, I'm sure.

[lizis18]

perfect advice

[spiderink27]
