It's from mild skin trauma from the actual process of tattooing. We use needles to make tiny holes in the skin through which ink is intruduced into the demal layer through capilary action.

Is Tattoo Removal Safe?

Everyone makes a decision or two during their lifetime that they might regret or wish that they never made. Sometimes those decisions can result in purchasing a product that you either cannot afford or when you look at it down the road you wonder why you ever bought it. The thing is, not all of those bad decisions can be fixed or reversed. Some of them can be though.One of those bad decisions that can lead to regret is getting a tattoo. But there is an answer for fixing that problem. Tattoo removal is a process available today that has become more and more popular as well as better developed with the advancement of medical technology. There are a couple of different options available if you wish to have an unwanted tattoo removed from your body and all of them have been successful in doing so.Tattoo removal can take the form of one of four different methods. Those methods are laser, dermabrasion, excision and salabrasion. The method that you undergo will be chosen by your doctor and it depends on the size and shape of the tattoo that you wish to have removed from your body. Why? Well, each tattoo has a different amount of ink in it, and the procedure depends on how deep the ink has sunk into the skin of the patient. If the ink has sunk fairly deep into the skin then a laser procedure will more than likely be the method of choice.Having a laser used in your tattoo removal procedure means that there is less pain, a lower risk of scarring and a higher probability that the tattoo will be removed almost completely. All of these procedures are completely safe to have performed and do not cause many side effects. As with any cosmetic procedure, there is risk for infection, but only if the patient does not heed the instructions given by the doctor for caring for the area where the tattoo was removed.Tattoo removal can take one, two or even three or more sessions to achieve complete success. Why? Like mentioned earlier, it all depends on the size and shape of the tattoo as well as how deep the ink has sunk into the skin. Most sessions can last anywhere from 10 minutes to one hour but shouldn’t last any longer than that.The laser removal process is the one with the least pain because it does not involve any rubbing or surgery on the area with the tattoo. Dermabrasion is the process of removing the tattoo with a sandpaper like substance. The area is numbed and then the doctor will use a tool to rub off or scrap off the tattoo. This will make the area sore and red and if the patient does not take care of the area following the procedure, an infection could develop. All of these procedures can cost anywhere from $125-$200 per session but it all depends on the doctor and how long the session lasts.
