    <\/b>1.\tWhat exactly are tattoos?<\/span><\/b><\/h2><\/div>\n\n

    Tattoos are pigments injected into the skin. When injected into the middle layer of the skin, the dermis, and stored by the connective tissue cells, the fibroblasts, they become permanent. Tattoos cannot be broken down by the body. They stay visible for life, though over the years they may lose their intensity and become faded.<\/p>\n

    Though tattoos are mostly done as a permanent decoration on the body, personal preferences and attitudes towards one\u2019s appearance often change over time. All too often, professional decisions also play a role in deciding to have tattoos removed. To have an unwanted tattoo lasered, a doctor with experience in tattoo removal should be consulted.<\/p>\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\n\n<\/div>\n<\/a><\/span>\n\n

    Tattoos are ingrained in human society. Tattooing has been carried out for centuries. Most tattoos these days are \u201cdeco\u201d tattoos. These are deliberately engraved, single or multi-colored images and inscriptions in the skin. Today, they are practically everywhere and well accepted by society. Along with the prevalence, the professionalism, variety of colors and implementation has developed significantly. In the past, the small typical blue-black tattoos were most common. Nowadays you can see more multicolored and large tattoos, some of which adorn entire areas of the body.<\/p>\n

    In the past, tattoos were usually associated with individual professions and groups. Sailors came back home from the distant world with this decorative souvenir.<\/p>\n

    But there are also religious, medicolegal and political indicative tattoos. These in particular often become undesirable and wearers ask for these tattoos to be lasered away.<\/p>\n

    Another type of tattoo is what is known as an accidental tattoo. In this case, pigment particles have unintentionally penetrated the skin which again, cannot be broken down by the body. These occur in part after insufficient cleaning of open wounds, particle blasting after explosions, but they can also result from leakage of an infusions, especially iron infusions.<\/p>\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\n\n<\/div>\n<\/a><\/span>\n\n

    <\/b>3.\tWhat is the best way to remove a tattoo?<\/span><\/b><\/h2><\/div>\n\n

    Until a few years ago, tattoo removal was done without a laser. Tattoos were scraped away using dermabrasion. The top layer of the skin was removed with a special device. The color-bearing skin layers were removed with severe pain. A large tattoo could not be easily removed with this technique. This type of tattoo removal creates scars and as with surgical or excision tattoo removal, cannot be done without scarring.<\/p>\n

    Attempts to remove tattoos with various home remedies (e.g., from the internet) fail. The use of liquid, pigment-dissolving substances and also tattoo removal creams offered on the internet are used in attempts to remove tattoos. Although this sounds harmless, it is usually associated with very serious risks for the skin and the entire organism. The aesthetic results are very bad.<\/p>\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\n\n\t
