Has anyone ever gotten a tattoo removed by laser surgery?

Where are the best places in/around Seoul to get this procedure?

Also, cost?

Thanks.

Probably any dermatologist can do it. It's also common (and probably cheaper) to get cover-ups.

I've been wondering the same thing myself. Have something that can't be covered up well nor completely removed, but I'd like to have it lightened up by lazer so that I can get it covered up later.

I doubt it's something people have much experience with, so if perhaps anyone has done any other kind of lazer skin treatment here, they could post what kind of prices they ran into. My inclination is that it would be cheaper here than in the US, but I'm not sure. Any information at all would be great.

Laser treatment is expensive, especially when you consider that the much cheaper option is just as effective...

I can't remember the name of the stuff, but there is some acid solution that you can have tattooed over your existing tat and it pretty much kills the pigmentation of the tattoo. 1 treatment is usually enough to lighten it up, and 2-3 will pretty much remove it. It is done by your tattoo artist and if you price it in with a cover-up job you will save a lot compared to the cost of the very expensive (and temperamental) laser option.
