Blink Tattoo Removal – Blog

Sometimes, patients arrive at our affiliate locations with very specific ideas on what they wish to have done. Recently, our Seattle  tattoo removal affiliate worked with a woman who had multiple tattoos, and considered herself something of a “tattoo connoisseur.” But she was bothered by the quality of work that had been done on a tattoo on her left forearm, which featured a poppy flower with some words below it. She liked the poppy, but felt that the words had been sloppily written, and wanted them removed. She also asked our affiliate to remove another tattoo on her upper right arm, of two lilies and three birds.

Although she knew a great deal about the art of tattoos, our affiliate’s patient had never had one removed before, and she was nervous about how effective the treatments would be, as well as about the safety of the procedure. The clinician at our tattoo removal affiliate clinic was able to reassure her immediately on both counts. Her tattoos were done with only black ink, which is generally considered the easiest ink to remove.

As the clinician told her, this tattoo removal clinic uses a machine that is considered the gold standard for laser removal: a Q-switched Nd: YAG laser. Despite the long name, what the machine does is simple. By producing quick, short bursts of light, it limits the exposure of the skin tissue to any damage. The laser can be customized to various wavelengths targeted just for one specific color, and one of the safest and most efficient lasers on the market.

After her treatments at the tattoo removal clinic, the patient was jubilant about the results: the tattoos were gone, and there was no damage to her skin. She told us happily that she had never imagined that the process would be as easy as it was, and promised to return to us the next time she got a tattoo that did not meet her high expectations.
