Removed Tattoo

Last summer I got a small tattoo on my hip. Now I wish it wasn’t there. Can it be removed?

answer:
Laser technology can be used to remove tattoos. The laser’s intense light is so powerful that when it strikes the pigmented area, the pigment vaporizes. But, keep in mind that even with laser removal, you won’t get “no-scar” results. The pigment that’s used to tattoo the skin is deep within your skin’s dermis, or second layer, and it’s difficult to remove. And the heat of the procedure can induce some scarring, just as a third-degree burn would. If you want to know more about this method of tattoo removal, talk with your dermatologist. He or she will be able to help you decide the best treatment depending on the size and location of the tattoo.

    I have heard that Wrecking Balm works also. My question is why get the tat in the first place if you are not 100% sure?
