Getting a tattoo itself might be a dramatic event for your immune system, but things get even crazier when you try to remove them! From intense lasers, to shockwaves and exploding cells, laser removal is one of the most intense things your body can go through.
What happens when the powerful lasers hit your skin, how do they destroy the ink, and how does your immune system clean up the aftermath of a tattoo removal?

somehow I feel like this will scare people away from getting tattoo removal, though I imagine the pain can't be too much different from getting a tatoo

I used to wonder why tattoos are forbidden in Islam, but as I grew older, I started to understand the wisdom behind it. It’s not only about the physical act of altering the body that Allah created, but also about protecting ourselves from potential harm — health risks, vanity, and trends that fade with time. Islam always emphasizes purity, moderation, and self-respect, and now I see how these teachings actually make perfect sense.

Its pretty insane how the heat levels we think of as instantly deadly can happen so easily inside of our body, in a completely different way we ever see it happen.

I am ashamed to be a milennial. We started all this shit that is happening now( including lame tattoo's). I hope new generations will see through our stupidity, but i doubt it. We are the one raising them.
