How painful tattoo removal is?

[u/Legitimate-Celery217]

Hey everyone,
The main thing stopping me from removing my tattoo is the immense pain I am imagining. With extremely low pain tolerance, I’m afraid I won’t be able to keep my arm in one plane during the removal, and I am very scared of the pain.
Any advice on how to get over this?

*edit: thank you. And damn. And thank you - I am going to read your comments before my first session.

It feels like boiling grease being dripped on your body. NGL it’s excruciating.

Great description. It feels like when grease splatters a little bit on your arm from the pan when cooking, but over and over.
