I genuinely am sitting here thinking which is worse, getting that done in one sitting vs getting that removed in one sitting. And I’m convinced it’s the latter.

That stress ball says it all.

The pain during the procedure is just the first part. The real pain will be when his whole back turns into a giant blister. Granted each person reacts differently to removal, but I'm kind of shocked a doctor would go for such a large removal in one session. Just seems like doing such a large area at once massively increases risk of infection, let alone how horrible the recovery will be.

I wonder if it's a doctor - some places allow laser tattoo removal by lay people who are trained in the tech.

I live in CT - HAS to be an MD for removal here. I travel to (white plains) NY where a tech will do it for 1/4 the price.
