No Green with Envy Lasers Removing Green Tattoo Ink

Laser tattoo removal uses intense pulses of light to pass through the top layers of the skin, and target specific tattoo ink particles.  The goal is to hit the ink target wasting the least amount of energy searching for the target, so the ink pigment can absorb the greatest amount of laser energy. Ultimately, more energy absorption means there is more energy inside the ink molecules to expand and break apart the tattoo ink.

Once tattoo ink particles are broken down into smaller bits they are removed by the body’s natural immune system, and bit by bit, overtime the tattoo ink is removed from the skin.

Colors that stand out in contrast to skin tones such as black ink, attract and absorb larger amounts of laser energy because the ink is an easy focal target for laser energy. 

Green inks are challenging tattoo colors to remove, because the color green is the product of the colors yellow and blue, and yellow and blue color tones are also prominent undertones found in skin tones.

So you can see why tattoos made with difficult to remove green ink, are tattoos no one envies when it comes to laser tattoo removal.

Tattoo Fading Leads to Removal

Tattoos are a trend that have certainly gotten under a lot of people’s skin.  Especially, for those people that have witness some tattoo fading occurring with age.

While tattoos are not like bad haircuts that eventually grow out, tattoos also do not remain permanently the same forever.

Tattoos fade with age, this is apparently something many people are realizing after the fact, evidence of the rising number of tattoo removal being performed.
 
According to the American Society of Dermatological Surgery, in 2001, 44,760 tattoo removal procedures were reportedly performed in the U.S.  In 2003, that number increased significantly to 61,772 tattoo removal procedures. And data is currently being reviewed for 2007.

The fact of the matter is as people age, their skin ages too, and naturally tattoos fade and age with the skin.  So, if people want their tattoos to look good for as long as possible, they have to take care of their skin and at the same time their tattoo.

Most common reasons for tattoos fading are:

1. Excessive sun exposure

2. Failure to properly care for tattoo during healing process

3. Amateur tattoos or tattoo artist did not apply the pigment correctly using a steady hand

The most common reason for fading colors is ultraviolet light, especially sunlight.

Excessive amounts of sun will fade tattoos at the same rate it causes skin damage.  To protect against damage and fading it’s important to wear daily SPF and limit time in direct sun.

Adopt the habit of good skin care and daily sunscreen to protect today’s tattoo from regretting tomorrow’s fading, and the hassles of tattoo removal.

New Trend of Tattoo Removal Parties

party
Noun
pl -ties
1. a social gathering for pleasure or amusement
2. a group of people involved in the same activity: a tattoo removal party

Everyone likes parties, and they should.  What’s not to like about eating, drinking, mingling, laughing, and having a great time?  These days parties come in all forms of activities from knitting to tattooing.  And, while tattoo parties have been a popular trend for a long time…

There is a new take on tattoo parties taking off– Tattoo Removal Parties.

Similar to having tattoo parties, groups of tattoo friends get together at someone’s house, and one by one everyone takes a turn helping each other with tattoo removal. 

Many people are just starting to learn about tattoo removal parties. Thanks to the advance home tattoo removal system Wrecking Balm, a new trend of tattoo removal parties are sweeping the nation helping many people who want tattoo removal, but do not want to go through the process of removing tattoos alone. 

It’s a new take on taking off tattoos with friends taking turns hosting weekly and bi weekly tattoo removal parties at one another’s houses.  And when the group is not together socializing, individuals are at home using Wrecking Balm continuing the tattoo removal process on their own.

Tattoo removal parties are quickly taking off in popularity among the growing number of people wanting to remove tattoos affordably.  These tattoo removal parties offer an additional commitment among friends to stick with the tattoo removal process; inspire personal and group motivation with visible progress of tattoo removal, which is something especially helpful for individuals to see with slower tattoo fading of their own; and an opportunity to take each other’s before, during, and during photos to measure the tattoo removal process.

But, perhaps the best reason explaining the new rising trend of tattoo removal parties are they offer a means for friends to spend a few quality hours together on a regular basis eating good food, and shooting the breeze as they remove tattoos together.

Wrecking Balm Home Tattoo Removal Cream Tops Google Results  

A quick Google search of home tattoo removal creams on the market, by product brand name produced the following results below, and it is easy to see WreckingBalm® by far has the most people searching directly by name in comparison to the other home tattoo removal creams on the market. 

Ironically, WreckingBalm® is the only home tattoo removal cream that is more than a cream.  All of the other home tattoo removers involve applying creams or gels on the surface of tattoo skin to lighten and fade ink.  The only true differences between the other tattoo removal creams are ingredients, number of steps or different creams/gels to apply, and frequency or how often to apply.

Wrecking balm® is unique as it is the only tattoo removal cream system that includes FDA approved technology in the form of hand-held device to safely intensify two techniques of tattoo fading and removal.

Initially people hear or read the name Wrecking Balm and assume “balm” it must be another home tattoo removal cream, but once people learn about the wrecking balm system; FDA approved hand device with a combination approach of tattoo fading they see it is far more than a home tattoo removal cream.

Down on the Sunset Tattoo Strip

 Sunset Strip Tattoo in Los Angeles is the hot spot going down on the strip with tattoo star celebrities.  This infamous LA tattoo shop has a throng of notches in it’s belt when it comes to servicing stars with tattoos.

The naughty girl, bad boy, sexual connotation of tattoos automatically lead insinuating minds to thoughts of X-list porn stars with tattoos, rather than an A-list of celebrity tattoo stars. 

Although, the Sunset Strip A-listers include some of Hollywood’s most unrestrained celebrity personalities such as Johnny Depp, Mark Wahlberg, Angelina Jolie, and Pamela Anderson people shouldn’t assume inky stars are all kinky stars.  

It is fair to say both celebrity stars and tattoos attract attention. Whether on the small of the back, the nape of the neck, or somewhere in between tattoos definitely have a way of making some people fantasize about un covering more private tattoos hiding beneath clothing.

And there are many celebrity stars willing and proud to bare their skin to reveal their tattoos, like Megan Fox.  As for porn stars, you can bet money on seeing every inch of their inky porn star tattoos however it just might not be the strip down on the sunset tattoo strip that got you reading this.

More Reasons to Remove Tattoos

New affordable tattoo removal is expanding the reasons people are removing tattoos.  In the past, only the most adverse tattoos were contenders for tattoo removal, such as gang tattoos, seriously messed up tattoos, and the shameful ex’s name tattoos.  Today, affordable tattoo removal options have more and more people finding reasons to remove tattoos.

Of course name tattoos are still at the top of the “reasons to remove tattoo list.”  Think about it, we’ve all been in relationships that didn’t work out, and just imagine the pain and humility of looking at a constant reminder of your ex’s name tattoo everyday.  It would literally suck.  And, even though name tattoos do not make sense to many of us; wanting to remove a tattoo of an ex’s name makes complete sense.

Fading tattoos are appearing as new reasons to remove old tattoos.  Tattoos that naturally fade and look unattractive because of poor quality of tattoo placement, ink, and excessive sun exposure are signing up for tattoo removal.

More new moms and dads with tattoos are getting tattoo removal to avoid children growing up and seeing their tattoo.  Another reason mothers remove tattoos are to remove tattoos that stretched and distorted during pregnancy.

There are many home tattoo removal options on the market to remove a tattoo in the privacy of your own home.  There are many names and terms used for home tattoo removal options such as tattoo fade cream, tattoo removal cream, tattoo remover, tattoo fading creams, and tattoo removal balm.

There are benefits to choosing home tattoo removal over other forms of removal such as laser. Home tattoo removal is considered to be a painless, more convenient and affordable way to remove tattoos in comparison to expensive laser and IPL treatments.

Remember there is no such thing as overnight magical tattoo removal. But there is such a thing as having options in tattoo removal, and choosing a home tattoo removal balm is an option available for those looking for an affordable, pain-free alternative to remove tattoo ink.

Way Doctors are Lowering the Cost of Tattoo Removal

Tattoo removal is something that most people think of as being very expensive, therefore it is an expense they must plan, save for, and budget into their finances.  Then there are others that think the cost of tattoo removal is too expensive and should be similar to the price of getting a tattoo.  Many of these people cannot justify the cost of tattoo removal, so they choose to live with a tattoo they regret and want to remove.

While, the process to remove a tattoo is definitely not as easy as some people think, the price to remove a tattoo does not have to be as expensive as people think; there is a way for doctors to lower the cost of tattoo removal.

The cost of tattoo removal with lasers is an expensive process on its own.  The unknown cost of an unknown number of laser treatments, performed by a physician supervised medical professional, has laser treatments averaging $200-400 per session.  If all of these factors make laser tattoo removal appear expensive, that is because laser usually is expensive.

But new research of home tattoo removal products results in a way to safely and effectively speed up the process to remove tattoos, improve the final removal results, and at the same time lower the cost of tattoo removal with lasers. 

The latest development is a combination tattoo removal approach of home tattoo removal mixed with laser tattoo removal.  Combining lasers with home tattoo removal makes the cost to remove tattoos more affordable by reducing number of expensive laser treatments needed to effectively remove tattoos.

Doctors are suggesting patients use a home tattoo removal product such as WreckingBalm to pre fade tattoos before initial laser treatment, to help reduce the overall amount of scar tissue that occurs from laser treatments, as well as to effectively remove the tattoo pigment colors that lasers are not able to target and remove. 

Patients benefit from the lower cost of tattoo removal, a reduction in the number of painful laser treatments, fewer appointments and schedule conflicts, as well as faster and more complete tattoo removal results.

Doctors benefit from having more patients satisfied with their tattoo removal experience that then tell more friends and family about their laser doctor’s lower cost tattoo removal.  The combination approach of home tattoo removal with lasers offers a way to lower the cost of tattoo removal so more people can stop saving and planning to remove tattoos, and can actually afford the cost to start removing tattoos.

Oh No Barbie, Not Tattoos and Leather

Barbie, the world’s most infamous celebrity blonde is approaching 50; and like many of her middle-aged friends, Barbie is desperately trying to reinvent herself as a celebrity bad girl with tattoos.

Barbie has lived an ageless life since she first graced us with her presence in 1959.  Her savvy fashion trends, fabulously long golden blond hair, and an unrealistic fit, trim body are some of her attributes that earned her celebrity status as America’s everything girl icon.  But it seems the years are catching up with Barbie and she is discovering she is not nearly as cool and hip as she used to be.  Barbie, now older, tattooed, and less of an icon is extremely nervous about her future celebrity status. 

But all of this isn’t making Barbie become a girl that retreats to her Dream House to soothe her woes; no Barbie is working hard, perhaps too hard to get back in with the cool crowd.  

Barbie Millicent Roberts is one girl who is not afraid to change.  Over the past 49 years, Barbie has had 75 careers including rock star, astronaut, and presidential candidate.  Barbie is one Baby Boomer who has definitely experienced her share of highs and lows.

1997 was a particularly hard year for Barbie in terms of celebrity media and controversy.  Then in her 40’s, Barbie got a butterfly tattoo on her stomach, as an attempt to stay hip and cool.

But it didn’t take long for Barbie’s tattoos to take off  and brand her name (the word Barbie) as a derogatory term meaning girl or woman considered shallow.  The term “Barbie” exploided as an Urban Slang word with the release of 1997 pop song “Barbie Girl.”

In 1999, rumors spread of Barbie’s intentions of hanging out with new friends with trendy tattoos, nose rings, and extra body piercings.  Then the peer pressure got to Barbie, and as a result she underwent plastic surgery transformation.  Barbie had her waistline increased in size in order to have a less perfect figure, that others would view as a more realistic, average body shape.

Barbie became an outlaw in part of the World in 2003.   Denounced as a symbol of depravity of the perverted West, with her revealing clothes, tattoos, and shameful postures Barbie was banned by Saudi Arabia’s religious police and forbidden from the kingdom.

The 2004 announcement of Barbie’s split with Ken; longtime boyfriend of 43 years came as a shock to many, but like other celebrity couples, their Hollywood romance had come to an end. And while Barbie admits the breakup was a painful time of great heartache, she also jokes about being glad she decided on a butterfly tattoo instead of a tattoo of Ken’s name.  Apparently having to go through tattoo removal to remove a tattoo of “Ken’s”name would have been much more painful than the breakup.
