I’m having a tattoo removal and it’s left me covered in huge blisters – it’s so painful
A WOMAN has revealed the pain involved in getting her tattoo removed with a laser.
In a TikTok video, she shows the huge blisters that have swollen up on her leg as she tries to get the tattoo removed.
Nowadays, most tattoos are removed through a series of laser treatments.

While Hayley’s experience certainly looks painful, it probably pales when compared to one man who got an eye tattoo lasered.

She shines the laser at different points of the X and a clicking sound can be heard.

Some the per cent of patients will develop a permanent scar where their tattoo was.
