tattoo removal in Waterford

michellie

Hi:)

I am looking for places that do tattoo removal, I know Genisis do, but is there any where else ?

Eroticplants

The place that's just opposite/beside Costa Coffee in John Roberts Square does it as far as I know.

above carrols pharmacy in ballybricken.
A certain tattoo shop was trying to advertise it a while back, i had a look and their machine was Chinese, they didnt really know how to use it and the girl in the shop was just irritating.. so, Steer clear of any tattoo shops that are not reputable in the removal of tattoos via lazer! alternative there are Tattoo shops in Dublin that do it as well.

michellie

Thanks, the place above carrolls is genisis, I had a consult there the other day.

I didn't think therapie did tattoo removal, nothing on the website, I'll phone them thank you !:)

just to follow up did you have it done? and was it a success ?

Depending on the tattoo, any ink being removed is deemed a success.
Ive removed quite a few tattoos in my day, it was part of my job, some tattoos take more sessions than others due to the type of pigment, the size, placement and the persons natural pigment.

Hi!,

No I havent had it done yet, I'm still sporting my summer tan, and I've been told that has to be gone to get the lazer treatment.

Will probably start it after Xmas !

thats not right, its just your natural pigment changing to a darker colour unless its a spray jobby?
if thats the case dark / black skinned people cant get removal done.. and that my dear is BS

Well that's what the woman (doctor?!) In Genisis told me during my consult.

And some online research says it's best to wait until your tan fades?

Yakuza do it. Was getting a tattoo while someone had theirs removed opposite me :pac:

Also pricing couldnt say but they were there for about 30 minutes at max. Maybe it was due to the size or how much was left though. Didn't see it.

Cheers, ill give both Dan and Genesis a call, see what the story is

Let us know how you get on with Genesis because when i asked here 9 months ago their machine for removing tattoos wasnt working and they didnt know when or if it will be fixed

Genesis said they don't do it, spoke to Yakuza, they do it for €50 a session, then tattoos depends on how many sessions needed.

michellie

Hi.

Original op here. Genesis laser machine stopped working a year ago and they aren't getting it fixed.

I have had 2 sessions of treatment in Aurelia in Kilkenny, but obviously it's a bit of a pain travelling up there. Where is this yazuka place?

michellie

Ah I found them on Facebook, any idea are they good or what type of machine they use? I'm paying €70 per session in aurelia with petrol thrown on top. Literally takes no more than 5 minutes for it.

How is that on the pain scale of 1-10?

I won't lie, my patch test was fine, just a bit uncomfortable. My first session was uncomfortable there was pain but as I said I took minutes totally bearable!(5/10).... But the 2nd session was very painful, they turn it up stronger each time(10/10)

Feels a bit sunburnt afterwards. It didn't blister but it did peel.after about a week you get insane itchyness which lasts about a week.

Definitely some fading going on, have my 3rd session this day 2 weeks.

You might as well rub yogurt into your tattoo and expect that to remove the tattoo ! Or nivea in the least it would help your skin !
With the tattoo removal cream they are known to leave burns and scarring so your left with your tattoo and scars, not advisable at all.

michellie

Creams would never penetrate deep enough to remove a tattoo.

Maybe not as pie in the sky as was once believed?

Yes it can fade it but can't go deep enough to remove it but dermatologists also advise against it due to burning skin irritation and scarring.

nahhhh,
its a kind of cream that burns your skin,
I dont know whats the name of that cream,
but my brother used it when the company he's working for wants to remove his tattoo.

It really removed the tattoo,
though the tattoo on his arms became scars.
hhhmmm
