New technology and advanced tattoo removal lasers have greatly reduced the tattoo regret that many people feel.  Gone are the days when someone is truly stuck with a tattoo they no longer want.  Now days, removing a tattoo is a real option.  Recently, an article in The Observer talked about the benefits of the Enlighten tattoo removal laser and how it has changed the way people feel about removing their tattoo.  We here at Sound Tattoo Removal, a top Seattle tattoo removal clinic, offer quality tattoo removal using the Enlighten Cutera laser in a comfortable setting in the Seattle area. 

According to the article from The Observer:

“…a 2016 Harris Poll study of 2,000 Americans, more than 1 in 4 adults (27 percent) has at least one tattoo and many eventually get buyer’s remorse. Tattoo regret is big. It’s most common when the love of your life—who has gotten under your skin with questionable, non-FDA-approved ingredients such as lead, zinc, heavy metals and PETA’s taboo list including charred animal bones, beetles and glycerin derived from animal fat—turns out not to be, after all.”

For anyone who has ever gotten a tattoo that they later regret (which turns out to be very common), in the not too distant past, tattoo removal was not easy.  Few clinics offered tattoo removal, and older technologies made tattoo removal painful and not always successful.  

Today, tattoo removal has a very different story.  Thanks to advancements in technology, tattoo removal lasers like the Enlighten laser make tattoo removal easier, less painful, and with a better success rate.  What makes the Enlighten by Cutera laser so remarkable?   According to The Observer, the Cutera laser is “the world’s first dual wavelength and dual-pulse duration laser system for removing tattoos of all colors.”  The articles goes on to explain, directly from Cutera’s VP of marketing Jon Pearson, why the Cutera laser uses 2 wavelengths.  Pearson says, “Some wave lengths, the shorter ones are good at removing red, orange and yellow, and the longer ones for darker colors such as black and dark blue. One laser wavelength is not effective on all ink colors—that’s why you need more than one.”

Ultimately, tattoo removal has brought hope, relief and a sense of wellness to those burdened with a tattoo they don’t love.  And the Enlighten laser is the most advanced technology to do the job.  This is why we here at Sound Tattoo Removal use the Enlighten laser for our tattoo removal.  We are committed to providing quality care and successful tattoo removals in a relaxed and respectful environment.  If you have a tattoo that you would like removed, contact us today.
