tattoo removal
Who can I contact about removing my tattoo on my back? I live in Stellenbosch. And: how long does it take to remove it? IS it expensive?
Dear Girlie,
As far as I am aware, the specialised lasers required for tattoo removal is no longer available in South Africa. Therefore, surgical removal is the only possibility. Please contact your local plastic surgeon for this.
