I have a horrible tattoo on my back of a cross that I want to have zapped. I'm not even religious and I have a cross on my back :/ I got the cross when I was 17, I'm now 26 and it has to go. Does anyone know if there is a laser center that can remove tattoos? Thanks for the info.

You could try Dr. Park Kyong Ho. He speaks perfect English and is really nice. Nice clinic as well.

I don't know of any doctors, but I did have a friend who got a tat when he was younger and then came to Korea, had kids and decided to get it removed. He said it took several treatments, they were a little painful and that the laser broke up the ink and it became waste through your normal body functions.

Not what you're asking, but cover up might be cheaper and easier. Although, I wouldn't do that here either as it's stupid expensive.

Nope, want this one off! It's faded , well, parts of it. It's on my foot. Baring the laser option, the plastic surgery I met with said I could do a skin graft, which might be cheaper and easier. Sigh, I should have done it then. Now, if skin grafts are the best option, I'll wait until AFTER I have a baby, then they can take the skin from my stomach Smile

Go to any dermatologist office, I think it's the same lazer they use for sunspots. I went to the derma to ask about removal and the Dr. told me because it was in color it would take ALOT of treatments totally about 2 million won to remove it. If it's only a black tattoo it should be about a million won.

When you described the cross, I thought it looked like this
