Highly recommend Diana Murphy -...
Before I turned 40, I decided to get rid of my 18-year-old-silliness, the bane of my mother's existence - my TATTOO. I did my research and found that it is a painful and expensive process. No matter, my arm will be skin-coloured in my wedding photos which will be taken next year.
Anyhow, I found only two licensed laser therapists in Ottawa who remove tattoos, and after meeting Diana Murphy, I felt a connection right away - she made me feel comfortable about my decision, and her knowledge and passion for this therapy was evident right away. Even the receptionist who took my calls was warm and welcoming!
So I found out that yes, it is painful, and yes, it's more expensive than getting the darned tattoo in the first place, but this is what I want.
Diana really took the time to explain every step of the process and was honest about the good/bad/ugly about the process (feels like a burn the rest of the day after the process, it blisters, it itches, and you have to come back for several procedures to completely remove it).
My first treatment was not fun - I'm a bit of a wimp I guess, but I thought I was going to faint. Diana knew I wasn't well, so she stopped, as often as I needed, and iced the spot, tried to take my mind off things by talking about my upcoming wedding... very sweet lady indeed!). My second appointment wasn't as painful, probably because Diana suggested trying to get through the treatment in one fell swoop (quicker, get over it - like ripping a bandaid off!). I only asked her to stop once, and she was super accommodating and never made me feel like I was a high-maintenance client (even though I think I am! ;-)
I would highly recommend Diana for any of the treatments she provides. She is knowledgable, genuinely caring and nice, and I believe her prices are less than half of what the other place was charging.
They also offer free consultations so feel free to just call and ask questions, or make an appointment to visit. You might realize that it is possible to get rid of that aweful tattoo on your -------(wherever ;-) LOL
