Laser tattoo removal is said to only be done once, is it?

Unfortunately laser tattoo removal often takes multiple treatments and does not entirely get rid of all visible traces of the tattoo for most people who choose that treatment. What you see in advertisements are the best-case scenarios, much like what you find with weight loss advertising.

No. As far as I know, laser doesn't hurt at all. So go for it, I say. Yeah, but you won't find cheap laser anywhere.

I've spoken to several people who've had laser treatments and they all describe it as feeling almost exactly as like being lightly splattered with hot grease or being snapped really hard with a rubber band at point-blank range. It's not a comfortable procedure.

In many cases, certain colors may be more effectively removed than others. It is known that blue/black tattoos respond particularly well to laser treatment -- the response of other colors is under investigation.

is it hurt to take off the tattoo?

I have seen the dermablend tattoo makeup ad that has Rico Genest in it. That makeup would be an option to tattoo removal.
