A man from Seattle WA contacted Blink’s Tattoo Removal service to inquire about having his tattoo removed from his left wrist. Right out of high school the man and a group of friends went down to the local tattoo parlor, where they each picked out a tattoo. At the time, it sounded like a great idea and everyone else was getting one, so he got one too. He chose to get a black ink tattoo on his left wrist with the inscription “Live and Learn.” Over the next 5-6 years, live and learn is exactly what he did and he is now certain that it is time to remove his black ink tattoo. Since he has a wrist tattoo, he is reminded of his decision every day and he knows it has prevented him from getting several jobs through the years. He now wants to know how the process of tattoo removal works and how long it would take to completely remove the tattoo.

He was pleased to learn that Blink business would be able to help him successfully get rid of his wrist tattoo. The patient found out that a black ink tattoo removal was the easiest type to have done and would require fewer treatments. Since his “Live and Learn” tattoo was fairly small, only included black ink and had been done just a few years earlier, the patient would only need to have a few treatments to completely remove the tattoo. He also learned that Blink uses the latest laser technology, which involves a Q-switched laser because it is safer and more effective. The patient found out the he would receive a topical anesthetic right before the laser treatment begins, which helps to numb the area and reduce the pain. Happy that the treatment plan was non-invasive and easier than he thought, the patient decided to have the tattoo removed and is now living tattoo-free.
