Social Impacts of Tattoo Removal

Tattoos are not for everyone and those who have one may wish to pursue corrective intervention in an effort to remove it. Whether the tattoo is no longer applicable to your life or if you are applying for an important job, having it removed may positively impact an individual's well-being. Further, there are concerns about the toxicity of tattoos as well as potentially serious complications or side-effects. The reasons listed above are perhaps some of the primary concerns individuals express when electing to remove a tattoo. 

Certainly the societal impact of laser tattoo removal (see link below), can be substantial in that doing so may increase job perspectives and remove unwanted reminders. It can also reduce or eliminate any health risks posed by the tattoos themselves. In so doing, removing a tattoo should only be done by professionals who have experience in this field. Indeed, Lynette Kennedy, a nurse practitioner with New Look Laser Tattoo Removal in Houston, indicated that laser removal is "highly effective with minimal side effects." Nurse Practitioners, like physicians, are providers with extensive medical training and the authority to offer medical advice with respect to topics such as laser tattoo removal. 

My family has a long history of serving others by being involved in the healthcare field. While I am currently a pre-medical student and a free clinic volunteer, my mother is a nurse practitioner at an area hospital. We have both experienced patients who present with concerns over their tattoos, which further demonstrates the importance of laser tattoo removal procedures -- which are both safe and effective.
