How To Take a Definitive Tattoo
To get a definite tattoo done in a tattoo studio, the most commonly used methods are laser, tattoo removal creams and dermabrasion.
1. Take tattoo with laser
Removal of laser tattoos hurts, but is the best way to completely eliminate a tattoo because it uses a concentrated beam of light that penetrates the skin, destroying the layers of paint, eliminating the design of the skin.
However, this type of treatment may require more than 10 sessions to be able to remove all the ink from the tattoo, depending on the size and color of the design. Thus, the more complex the tattoo, the more sessions will be needed and thus more lesions will be caused to the skin, which can lead to blisters and scars.
- Price of laser tattoo removal: The price ranges from 300 to 1800 reais per session, depending on the type of tattoo.

- Price of creams to remove tattoo: the price of creams is approximately 600 reais, however, you may need more than one bottle depending on the size of the tattoo.
