NWI INGO General Post - Part 14

Friday already?

OMG finally. This has been the longest week ever. No plans this weekend except a tattoo zappage session. If I had known how much time and money it would take to have this tattoo removed, I never would have started. I'm a year and $900 in, and it's only halfway gone.

1. Arkansas, 2. Mississippi 3. Texas 4. Virginia

Reading that was informative. They changed allowed states and told with valid licenses they were no longer valid. Willing to bet they aren't refunded any of those fees though. What a crappy horrible state.

Nope its only Monday

Yup. It's Monday for me.
And my 5th 48 hour week in a row.

That pretty much defines the entire state of Illinois and all its policies about pretty much everything!

Well in their defense they can't return the cocaine after they snort it.

Yikes.
How much did the tattoo cost in the first place?

How big was it?

I had a friend in the army who told me how they did it in Viet nam. Stop me if I told this story before.

The medic would make two curved incisions from top to bottom with about 1/2" separation in the middle. He wold then remove the middle and stretch the skin together and allow it to heal. When healed he would then repeat the process until the tattoo was gone. He would then remove the scar and make very tiny sutures to leave almost no trace.

I don't know how many treatments it would take, how much it would cost, or who would do it.

I've threatened to take my belt sander to it.

100 isn't bad, I paid 120 for mine a few years ago. Still loving mine though

I don't dislike mine, but I have to cover it for work. They switched us from scrubs to polos at the beginning of last year. We were allowed to wear long sleeve tees under the scrubs, but not under the polos. The only way I can cover my arms (legally) is with a bulky acrylic sweater. My boss keeps the heat way too high for that.

The ironic thing is that by the time this tattoo is gone, I'll only have three years til retirement.

I had no idea it would be such a PITA to get rid of this. Apparently the guy who did the tat used a lot of black ink and placed it very deep.

 

[CTC B4Z]

So your getting a tat removed....for work?


Just cake on make up?

 

[Snapdragon]

Makeup does not cover it all day. I've tried all kinds, including very expensive cover creams. The first time I brush my arm against something, the black shows through. It also smears if you sweat.

 

[2A_Tom]

Have you tried these?
