Laser tattoo removal ...?

I’m curious about personal experiences with laser tattoo removal. I’m strongly considering have a bit of ink burned off. Cost? Pain? And most importantly, effectiveness? I’ve read about it on the interwebs, but most of the stuff I stumbled across seemed to be propaganda. I don’t know anyone who’s had it done (or, more likely, I do know somebody that’s had it done … I just don’t know that they’ve had it done.)

Danke.
