Dallas Tattoo Removal - The Ten Most Common Tattoos that are Removed

Tattoo removal is an increasingly common aesthetic medical procedure in Dallas, Houston, and other Texas cities. Current laser technology is able to safely and effectively remove tattoos with a minimum of side effects - primarily swelling and redness for a few days after the removal procedure. Most tattoos need 3 to 10 procedures to remove the tattoo completely, with more treatments generally required for newer and brighter tattoos, and fewer treatments needed for older and more dull tattoos.

But why would a patient wish to have a tattoo removed? Dallas tattoo removal clinics remove a wide range of tattoo designs - here are ten of the most common tattoos removed

1) Cursive name tattoos - these tattoos are written in the black/dark green tattoo ink and range in size from 1 inch by 1 inch to as large an across the entire torso. These tattoos are removed when a relationship is over, patient no longer wishes to have the name of their partner displayed on their body, or the tattoo no longer looks as desirable as it did in the past.

2) Tattooed names written in block letters - similar to cursive names, but these tattoos are generally larger, with independent letters either filled in with shaded ink or empty. These tattoos are generally larger than cursive tattoos.

3) Rose tattoos - these tattoos incorporate red ink with green leaves and a stem. The red ink is relatively easy to remove with a Q-switched Nd:YAG medical laser, but the green ink is significantly more difficult. These tattoos are easiest to remove when they are older (5-10 years old+) and on a part of the body that has received significant sun exposure.

4) Star tattoos - a very common tattoo that is either filled in or left empty. Some of these tattoos are black and some multi-colored.

5) Barbed wire tattoos - most common among male patients, these tattoos are often found on the upper arm in black or dark green ink. These tattoos are slightly more difficult to remove due to the challenge in maneuvering the patient's arm to completely remove the entire band.

6) Tribal tattoos - there are thousands of varieties, often with high ink density and contrasting colors.

7) Dragons tattoos - popular among male patients, these tattoos are often on the lower leg, lower arm, and back. Some dragon tattoos can cover the entire back and may take hours for a single removal session. Black ink is the most common color, but multi-colored tattoos that are quite beautiful may also be presented for removal.

8) Butterflies tattoos - women often present these tattoos, to be removed because the ink has faded and is no longer attractive, the body has changed shape and stretched the tattoo, or because that patient no longer feels the tattoo is part of their desired lifestyle.

9) Japanese/Chinese character tattoos - presented less frequently than commonly thought - these tattoos represent some message of wise saying, personal motto, or unknown but attractively-designed character. These thick and dark letters can be difficult to remove given than they tend to be newer tattoos with high pigment density.

10) Tear drop tattoos - these tattoos are associated with the death of another person. They are controversial because while some tear drop tattoos are meant to indicate the death of a loved one, others represent or purport to represent that the tattooed patient has killed another individual. Tear drop tattoos are placed immediately below and to the side of the eye and are removed with caution due to the proximity to the sensitive eyes.

Tattoo Regrets - Top 3 Most Common Tattoo Regrets You Need To Know

Along with an inexperienced tattoo artist, tattoo regrets are one of the most common complaints related to tattoos. Everybody tends to make many rash decisions every now and then; hence the famous quote, "you learn from your mistakes." But what if your mistake follows you wherever you go and haunts you for the rest of your life? Wouldn't you want to learn about a mistake in advance so you can avoid a future regret? If you are a tattoo beginner then you must know what types of tattoo to avoid. Failure to do so can lead to tattoo regrets you must live with for the rest of your life unless you are willing to spend thousands for a tattoo removal treatment. Below are the three most common tattoo regrets that people fall victim to.

1. The name of your current partner or lover

This is one of the most common mistakes made by young adults. They are young, foolish, and their actions are always driven by love. When either person suggests having their name tattooed on each other, they would immediately do so. It is always seemingly cute and romantic at first. But what happens if the relationship goes awry and they never want to see each other again? The name of the ex-lover will still be etched on their body. Every time they get dressed or shower, the name will appear and memories of the past will be brought up. Imagine how awkward it would be when their next companion sees that name.

This is the most important tattoo regret you need to avoid. You should always think twice before getting a tattoo of a name unless your next partner happens to have the same name. Keep in mind that a tattoo will always last longer than a relationship, even if you are married.

2. Tattoos while in prison

If you're reading this article, there is a high chance that you are not incarcerated at this very moment. Hopefully you won't enter the penitentiary ever in your lifetime either. However, prisoners who received tattoos while locked up makes up a large portion of those who regret their tattoos. That is because inmates are tattooed from head to toe; literally! Prisoners tattoo their head and face more than any other groups in the world. Tattoos are believed to be a symbol of status while in jail. It also displays power because tattoos identify prisoners with specific groups or gangs. But when they are released back into society, the tattoos become a symbol of regret for many reasons. It will be harder to turn a new leaf because it will difficult to adapt with excessive tattoos. Also the tattoos will serve as a reminder of their rough life behind bars.

3. Tattooing while drunk

Choosing to get tattooed while drunk is extremely risky because the outcome of the tattoo is based on chance. There are incidents where tattoos completed were better than expected but there are also horror stories of the exact opposite. To avoid this common tattoo regret, do not consume alcohol before a tattoo session for two reasons. The first and more obvious reason is because high levels of alcohol in your system inhibit your brain to make rational decisions. You might want a dragon tattooed on your back but inadvertently request a pink bunny on your neck. Secondly, alcohol thins out your blood which will lead to profuse bleeding once the tattooing commences. For this reason, most tattoo shops refuse to tattoo drunks anyways. But for your safety and to avoid possible tattoo regrets, make sure your system is free of alcohol for at least 24 hours before your tattoo session.
