People that would like to have a tattoo may also be interested in Laser Hair Removal. By removing hair with a laser the tattoos can really stand out. BUT remember to get your Laser Hair Removal treatments before you get a tattoo in that area. Laser Hair Removal works on the principle of color difference. When the skin color is different then the hair color, then the laser heats up and destroys the hair follicle. But when there is a tattoo, the laser will seek out that color and heat up the tattoo. Which is a burn and is painful. This is why Laser Hair Removal should only be done Prior to Tattoo Placement in that area.
