    Anyone know a good tattooist in Dublin for Tattoo removal and do you know what it would cost on average?
    Would love to hear from anyone taht has had one removed - Is it painful and did you get it removed completley?

    there was a company , run by a Doctor , think it was called "Laserase". They removed Tatoos by way of Laser treatment. A family friend used them some 7/8 years ago and it cost £450 over say 8 to 10 visits. The tatoo was 99% removed, an ever so slightly shadowing is all that was left, and over the years it has almost completely disappeared. Telephone Directory might have a contact number.

    Best of Luck

    Apparently Metalmorphosis removes them, they use stuff call tattoo-gone. Basically they tattoo over the tattoo with this stuff that lifts the ink out of the skin.

    It'll be a lot sorer than getting the original tattoo done whatever way you get it done.

    I must look into that out of interest!

    If you have access to inkednation you can look up the user Anyanca, she's Gav Rowe's gf from Zulu and also the piercer doing the tattoo removal in metalmorphosis, she has a piece there showing how they are removing a tattoo on herself with staged pictures, it's worth a look.

    To get it done properly it's going to cost you a load of cash.

    Glad I like my tats!:D

    Laserase is on lower baggot st 6768366. It's pricey and results usually reasonable but aren't always 100% - esp. if there's red in the tattoo..... that tattoo-gone thing that Metalmorphosis are doing seems pretty good though.....

    In my opinion the laser treatment is perfect if you want to get a cover up done later, i.e. it doesn't matter if there are traces left of the tattoo but the skin is lightened and it can take a new design. If you have a tattoo on your hand or neck however and dont want anything there it's not as good, you still end up with a faint image or a scar which is the shape of the tattoo originally removed.

    The Metalmorphosis one looks pretty clean though, but basically it's a technique whereby the skin gets minced with a chemical agent added that then lifts the ink out.
