Are Scalp Tattoos A New Treatment For Balding?

According to the American Hair Loss Association, up to 85% of men will experience some hair loss by the age of 50. For many men, hair loss affects self-esteem and may even hurt their love life or career. Many treatments exist for hair loss – from hair implants to wigs – but one of the most innovative might be scalp tattooing.

Scalp Aesthetics is a tattoo parlor that specializes in scalp micropigmentation services for men and women experiencing hair loss. This delicate tattooing service can help fill in bald spots or even replicate the look of a very fine buzz cut.

The first Scalp Aesthetics opened in 2013, and it’s been successful enough that multiple franchises are opening up across the United States and in Canada. A typical procedure can cost around $4,000, but the hefty price tag apparently isn’t scaring away clients. In fact some customers are using a combination of treatments, such as hair plugs with micropigmentation.

Will micropigmentation be a hot new tattoo trend for 2015? Well, as long as men keep losing hair, we think so!  And if it does not work out then we can remove part or all of the tattoo.

Tattoo Removed for 2015The New Year is always a very powerful and symbolic time. It is the crossing over from the past into the future and serves as a great starting point to shed bad habits and try to be a better version of yourself. What does that better version of you look like?

Do you want to try to get a better job in 2015? Be a better role model for your children? Clean up your act?

Change always requires action, and if you really want to symbolically shed your past mistakes or a past persona, laser tattoo removal can be incredibly cathartic. If you have a tattoo that represents a part of your life that you are ready to let go, then laser tattoo removal can help. At North Houston Laser Tattoo Removal, we use a state-of-the-art laser to break up the ink beneath your skin so that your body absorbs the harmless material.

Laser tattoo removal isn’t easy. It takes time, commitment, and a little discomfort, but isn’t that the truth about all meaningful change? Call us today for a free consultation about your tattoo.

From all of us here at North Houston Laser Tattoo Removal, we wish you a wonder New Year’s!

Removing a Religious Tattoo

isolated black cross with grungy red heartChristmas and Hanukah are here, reminding us of the power of religious belief. As strong as religious belief can be, many people slowly change the way they view their particular religion over the course of their life.

It is not uncommon for young adults to seek out different religions as they continue to define themselves and even “try on” different belief systems until they find one that feels right. Adults at any age can go through this same process, especially in the face of a stressful life event, like an illness or death in the family.

You may be someone who is currently redefining your religion and may find that your earlier religious fervor has dampened or changed. Maybe you got a tattoo of a cross, the Star of David, or another religious symbol at a highly religious point in your life. Today, however, that symbol holds less meaning or even feels wrong.

If you live in the Houston area, you can choose to remove your tattoo with the help of North Houston Tattoo and Laser Removal. We do not judge at our facility and will help you remove your tattoo as effectively as possible.

Buy the Gift of Tattoo RemovalThoughtful and personalized gifts are more valuable than ever, especially in today’s era of gift card overload. The best gifts are those that have a special meaning and that will last beyond a short high of owning some new gadget that will start gathering dust in another month.

If you know someone who regrets a tattoo, consider offering them the gift of laser tattoo removal. This gift is about more than getting rid of ink. It can represent a new beginning, especially if the tattoo to be removed is the name of an ex-spouse or partner or if the tattoo represents an attitude or lifestyle that has long been outgrown.

If the tattoo no longer fits the person’s style or even interferes with their ability to find a job, start a new relationship, or make a good first impression, your gift of tattoo laser removal can be powerful indeed. If you live in the Houston area, give us a call to discuss this possibility. If you can show us a picture of the tattoo and answer a few questions, we can give you a ballpark estimate on the cost of removal.

Your loved one will definitely remember this gift, especially when they look in the mirror and no long have to see a disliked tattoo.

Deep Thoughts On Tattoo Laser Removal

badtattoospellingMany times the people who come through our doors requesting the removal of a tattoo are in the process of changing their lives. They are shedding their old persona which the tattoo represents and rebuilding a stronger and better version of themselves. Sometimes this means getting rid of prison tattoos, relationship-oriented tattoos, or sloppy and ugly tattoos done at a cheap parlor.

We feel very fortunate that we can play a small part in this transformation by getting rid of the lingering tattoo reminders of that old history. We enjoy hearing the stories our clients tell us and experiencing with them the process of watching the tattoo fade with each session.

Many of our clients find the tattoo removal process cathartic. Something that once seemed permanent and unchangeable CAN actually be undone. The same can be said of negative self-belief, unhealthy relationships, and anger and regret. While certain aspects of a person’s history cannot be undone or forgotten, everyone is capable of moving on. Each day is a clean slate.

If you live in the Houston area, we hope that we can help you clean the slate, at least as far as your tattoos are concerned. The memories and circumstances those tattoos represent are not permanent, and the tattoos don’t have to be either. Give us a call to discuss tattoo laser removal.

Top Supernatural Tattoos

Tattoo Removal HoustonHalloween is a night to explore the realm of fantasy and magic. It’s where we can chuck the suit and skirt and be someone or something totally different. Tattoos are also a way for us to express our love of the supernatural. The website RankMyTattoos.com has put together a list of the top 50 tattoo designs. We thought it’d be interesting to find the top five supernatural themes that made the list. Here you go:

Number 4: Angels

Angels are beautiful, immortal, and strong. They also send important messages from God and occasionally smite sinners. No wonder so many people want to keep on the good side of these powerful creatures.

Number 7: Dragon

Dragons are ancient and powerful. They are found in a lot of mythology as well as some of the most popular fantasy stories, like The Hobbit, and The Song of Ice and Fire. As a tattoo, these stunning fire breathers can help instill power.

Number 8: Phoenix

There is something deeply moving about the story of a great, mythical bird that rose from the ashes. Anyone who has overcome a great tragedy or setback can relate to the phoenix. No wonder this is such a popular tattoo.

Number 10: Fairy

Beautiful, magical, and sometimes dangerous, fairies are definitely appealing for a variety of reasons. You can find fairy tattoos on a lot of women who want to invite a little magic into their lives.

Number 18: Skull

Skulls can mean a lot of things to a lot of people. To some, they are simply the recognition that death comes to us all, to others they’re cool and dangerous. Skulls also relate back to the supernatural. Many horror books, shows, and movies use skulls to ramp up their spookiness!

All of these supernatural creatures and themes can make for some great tattoos, but if you ever find that it’s time to remove your tattoo, supernatural or not, contact North Houston Laser Tattoo Removal.

Some Names Deserve To Be Preserved Forever…Others, Not So Much

in Tattoo Removal  by October 7, 2014 0 comments

Name Tattoos RemovedOne of the most meaningful and intimate things you can do to show your love for another person is to tattoo their name on your body (or the coordinates of where you met them if you are Angelina Jolie). This is a gift of the heart and demonstrates that this person will be a presence in your life forever.

Unfortunately…even some of the strongest relationships don’t last. Think long and hard about whether to add a person’s name to your body, because as much as you love and treasure them now, things might change. Epic friendships flounder like the Titanic. The most promising marriages drift and then break.

If this happens, then you’ll be left with a lot of heartache, sour memories…and a tattoo that causes you pain instead of joy. You really don’t want to have to go through the discomfort and cost of removing the tattoo of your ex-husband’s or ex-wife’s name from your skin.

Of course, certain names, like your parents, grandparents, siblings, or someone close to you who passed away, are all good bets. For a boyfriend/girlfriend, husband/wife, you may want to get tattoos as a tenth anniversary present rather than after the first few months of a whirlwind romance!
