nerd Posted February 26, 2010 Share Posted February 26, 2010 I would recommend either a cover up tattoo of soemthing you actually like, or get some of that super foundation stuff that people with scars/burns/birthmarks use to hide it until you have saved up enough to get it removed with your own money. I believe there is somehwere that removed gang-tattoos for people who are trying to make a break away from gang life but I can't recall where that is. But if it is a gang tattoo you may be able to get financial assistance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

libuse Posted March 7, 2010 Share Posted March 7, 2010 You can get tattoo removal done on the NHS, but only in extreme circumstances. I knew a bloke years ago who had a tattoo of a spider's web across his forehead, and obviously, struggled to get employment. He had it removed on the NHS and later got a job. That's an anecdotal example, I know, but a real example nevertheless. I'm not sure if one on your arm would be considered to be having such a negative impact on your life? I think a comparison is cosmetic surgery that is done on the NHS; its only carried out where the patient is believed to be experiencing a considerable amount of some aspect of suffering caused by their "ailment" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
donnygirl Posted March 7, 2010 Share Posted March 7, 2010 Several years ago a friend went to see her GP about getting a teenage tat removed. He sent her to see a psychiatrist to "prove" that the tat was mentally scarring her (sorry) before the NHS would remove it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jennyjenjen Posted April 21, 2010 Share Posted April 21, 2010 Tattoo removal on the nhs is only available for people with a server mental health condition who are now ready to work but have tattoos that will stop them from getting work. These tattoos must have been done at a time of illness. You can't get tattoos removed simply because you don't like it. I agree with it for this reason.

Sheff Laser Posted August 16, 2010 Share Posted August 16, 2010 Old thread but I thought I'd resurrect it to say that if you're still looking for a private tattoo removal service, feel free to drop me a PM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magilla Posted August 16, 2010 Share Posted August 16, 2010 The same could be said about people with smoking a related illness or sclerosis of the liver through years of heavy drinking, do you think they should pay for their own treatment?? Both of those do, in the taxes collected from their vice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
