Five Things You Should Not Do Before Getting A Tattoo Removed

For the best results, there are a few things you should definitely not do before a tattoo removal session.

1. Do not expose the tattoo to the sun. This could increase your chances of hypo-pigmentation.
2. Do not get a spray tan. Tan skin will make the tattoo harder to remove.
3. Do not get a new tattoo removed right away. It is important to wait the recommended 4-6 weeks before getting a new tattoo removed. The ink needs time to settle so it can be removed properly without any complications.
4. Do not take antibiotics while getting laser removal treatments. These two things mixed together could lead to unwanted complications.
5. Do not use tattoo removal creams. If you have used these, you should wait a few weeks after the last use to begin the tattoo removal process.

If you follow these easy steps, laser tattoo removal should be an easy process. For more information on laser tattoo removal, visit our Overview page.
