Megan Fox and Miley Cyrus are just two of the Hollywood A-listers who have reportedly had laser tattoo removal. Victoria Beckham, aka “Posh Spice,” is reportedly thinking about getting rid of her tattoos with laser surgery so that she doesn’t have to “get old” with them. Beckham is proud of all of her tattoos and has no plans to cover any of them up. But she is worried that they won’t flatter her as she gets older.
Many people, like Beckham, get tattoos in honor of loved ones. A lot of people’s happily-ever-afters don’t turn out to be quite as perfect as Victoria and David Beckham’s. Tattoo remorse and the names of exes have both been removed from the skin with lasers. In fact, replacing an old tattoo with a new one is the most popular justification for laser tattoo removal.
Out of the 45 million Americans who have at least one tattoo, just 30% of males really follow through with laser tattoo removal compared to 70% of women.
Most jurisdictions do not need laser tattoo removal doctors to hold a medical degree. Training in the use of a laser to remove tattoos is necessary, but you must also fulfill any additional regulations set down by your home state. With only a high school education or GED as a prerequisite, laser tattoo removal training is available to anyone interested in the skincare, health, and beauty industries in most states.
Laser tattoo removal may be done in around 15 minutes and costs around $200 on average. As laser tattoo removal is a series procedure, with clients typically requiring multiple sessions before seeing results, laser technicians can expect to earn an average of $1,400 per customer.
