Does it hurt to get a tattoo removed with laser?

It can be slightly more irritating than the initial tattoo process. The pain can best be described as being similar to how it feels when a rubber band is snapped against your skin. Fortunately though each treatment is quick, lasting anywhere from 30 seconds to 30 minutes. The amount of time depends on the size and depth of the tattoo. And, a numbing agent may be applied before starting to reduce the irritation. We also use a chiller to blow cold are which minimizes the discomfort of the procedure.
