Hey all,

I have a tattoo that I would like to have removed and am trying to figure out the best possible way to go about doing so. I have some questions I am hoping someone can answer.

I should probably note that my tattoo is one colour (black), and probably about 6-8 inches long by 2-3 inches wide, although the design itself is mostly an outline and in fact a small portion of that total area is actually inked. The tattoo is roughly 5 years old now. (wow, I cannot believe it's been that long)

Nuviderm - Can anyone comment on using this? How far apart to you space out the treatments? How quickly did you see results? My tattoo is between my shoulder blades, will I need someone to help apply this for me? (I would really like to be able to do this on my own). I am considering this as a prep to laser removal but have not heard many testimonials.

Can anyone recommend a good Laser Removal facility within Toronto? Doing a quick search, I found:

the Baywood Clinic in Downtown Toronto

Toronto Cosmetic Clinic -

Gidon Aesthetics and Medi-Spa -

If anyone has experience with the above clinics or can recommend someplace different I would really appreciate you sharing.

Additionally I understand laser removal requires multiple treatments. Any tips on excuses I can make to take time off work to have these treatments done? Nobody at my job knows about my tattoo and I would like to keep it that way. I only took 3 sick days last year and am hoping I can have this done under the radar without raising too many eyebrows.

I know this is a tonne of very specific questions and I certainly don't expect them all to be answered, but ANY feedback you guys have would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks so much
Little Engine

Multiple laser treatments is whats going to get rid of it and tell your employer that you have doctors appointments.

Thanks for the reply, Gary.

I did check out rethinkyourink.ca and it seems like a great clinic, but I just can't justify flying to Alberta to have a tattoo removed.

Anyone have any experiences with laser clinics in Toronto, or comments on Nuviderm + laser removal?
