Kirana Larasati Decided to Remove 8 Tattoos, Admit that the Cost is 50 Times More Expensive

JAKARTA - Actress Kirana Larasati shared a long and painful experience when she decided to remove the tattoo on her body. Through a thread on social media, Kirana revealed that the process of removing the art of the figure was much more difficult, expensive, and painful than when she made it.

Kirana told that she originally had a total of eight tattoos. Now, after going through a process of years, only one tattoo is still in the removal stage because the color of the tint is difficult to fade.

The film's actor Neighbor's Grass did not cover how painful the laser procedure he underwent was. He even gave an extreme metaphor to describe the pain when the laser beam touched his skin.

"Don't ask if it hurts or not. It's like being cut with a knife from hell," wrote Kirana Larasati, quoted by VOI, Tuesday, July 14.

Because of the unbearable pain, Kirana admitted that he had to be anesthetized or undergo a sedative procedure for several large tattoos. The cost of sedation is not cheap, ranging from IDR 2.5 million to IDR 8 million per session, depending on the hospital or clinic visited.

Not only the physical is tested, the pocket is also drained. Kirana said the cost to remove the tattoo could be 40 to 50 times more expensive than the cost of making it.

For a single visit (one laser session), he must at least dip into a minimum of Rp. 25 million. To date, Kirana has undergone five laser sessions in Jakarta and three sessions in South Korea.

"Expensive? 40-50 times more expensive to remove it. The laser is many times. From laser machines with techniques in Indonesia to Korea.

"Per session of recovery is 10-15 days. Some are conscious and crying," he recalled.

Kirana admitted that her decision to get a tattoo in the past was made because of her young soul who had not thought long. At that time, he considered tattoos as an identity and a reminder of the bitterness of life. However, as he grew older, his views changed completely.

"Now it's still in process. But the direction is different. Before looking outside, now looking 'inside'. Looking is no longer necessary to use a mirror or validate others," said Kirana.

He also remembered his parents' words who had warned that he would regret it later.

"It really happened," he wrote.
