This blog has been following the progress of Dr. Kaplan’s laser tattoo removal of his own tattoo.  He got the tattoo last fall and has been getting laser tattoo removal every 6 weeks or so at Tattoo MD.  Below is the photo just before the 4th treatment.  You can see that there’s been quite a bit of fading but there’s still some work remaining.  This is typical of the majority of tattoos.  Dr. Kaplan has not had any problems with blistering, scarring, or skin color lightening or darkening either.  He also reports that the pain was less than in the previous several treatments, as the tattoo ink has continued to get lighter.
