The pain is akin to an elastic band snapping against the skin. If you find it too painful, local anesthetic can easily abolish the pain.
How Many Treatments Are Necessary?
Professional tattoos generally require 6 - 8 treatments. Amateur tattoos can be removed in a little as 3 - 4 treatments. However, the number of treatments varies with the individual.
Do All Colors Disappear Well?
Most do very well. Greens and Yellows are the hardest to remove.
