HOW TATTOO REMOVAL WORKS.. What does laser tattoo removal feel like? If you are thinking about laser tattoo removal, your most burning questions may be ‘Does it hurt?’ and ‘How much does it hurt?’ Tattoo removal causes a certain amount of physical pain and irritation to the area being treated but it is not the same for everyone. Laser tattoo removal has been likened by some clients to the feeling
of having a rubber band snapped on your skin. Others describe it as a rapid succession of pricks. While some say it feels like someone scratching sunburn. Tattoo removal treatments on areas with more fat like the arms and buttocks are generally not as painful as areas where there is less fat or close to a bone like the neck, ankle or finger.

As with the majority of medical procedures, laser tattoo removal has potential side effects. You may experience bruising, blistering or lightening of the skin. Bruising and blistering generally fade within a week of a tattoo removal treatment.

As each client has an individual pain threshold, specialist tattoo removal may apply a local anaesthetic cream to the treatment area or suggest a mild pain medication like paracetamol.
