Hey Doc, I got a tattoo of my ex’s name on my arm when I was college. I realised now it's a big mistake. Now I want it gone, but I’ve heard tattoo removal can be painful and it is not always effective. Can you please explain how many sessions I might need? Is it safe to get it removed? Should I modify it or will I need a surgery? I want to know if there will be any permanent marks or side effects after the removal. I have sensitive skin, so I’m a bit worried.

Ans: If your tattoo is black & White, lasers can fully take it off in about 8-10 sessions.

If it is coloured, it is best to go for a surgery if possible.

There are other innovative methods to take of residual tattoo or scars by doing a different tattoo on the residual scar or tattoo.

Please see a specialist who has lasers if ur tatoo is black & white or see a plastic surgeon if it is coloured

Mr Sarvesh, can medical students or doctors have tattoo? What issues can they face during internships?

Ans: I have not come across any case where having a tattoo stopped anyone from getting or doing an internship. Of course, an internship is a professional work place and I hope you are dressing accordingly - as long as that is happening; it should be OK to have tattoos.

Doctor, my younger sister, who is 14 years old, had an accident in the kitchen a few months ago and suffered second-degree burns on her arm and shoulder. While her wounds have healed, the scars are still very visible, and it’s starting to affect her confidence. She avoids wearing sleeveless clothes and feels conscious even around close family members. Can burn marks be fixed with cosmetic surgery? She is only 14 now. Will it completely remove the scars? Will it be a painful surgery?

Ans: Yes, the burn marks can be made better with cosmetic surgery. But we may not be able to get absolutely normal skin in most cases.
Only after a physical consultation, a proper comment can be made.

Hi I just don’t understand my husband thoughts and thinking process recently he got my name tattooed which he asked numerous times I told that dislike tattoos but eventually he got it what should be my reaction, my reaction was first to check whether it was new syringe and whether it was safe I don't know what to tell him I didn’t feel happy for what he done but at the same time I don’t want him to feel bad for what he had done so what to do

Ans: Dear Anonymous,
Well, he's doing this for a reason. Maybe his way of showing that you are important to him?
At times, we do not understand the other person's language of love; what we can do is accept them for how and who they are. Yes, you do not appreciate what your husband has done, but can you just think that it was done as an act of love for you? Maybe then, you can see the entire episode as not anything against you BUT actually for you.

All the best!

Hlo mam my name is harpreet kaur and I love the person whos name is ArjunSehgal we are intercaste i m in big tension will our parents aggree for marriage

Ans: Dear Akanshi,
Now, how your parents will agree, whether they will agree or not is something you have to find out. If you know that they will not agree, then imagine the entire situation and talk to your partner about it...together come up with a plan on how you both are going to handle the situation and what you will be presenting as an argument to your parents. Plan and then bring the topic up with your parents.

All the best!

Hi iam getting 502 from jammu and kashmir are there any chances in state quota UR

Ans: Rohaan, Candidates from Jammu & Kashmir (J&K) receive seats under a 70% Home State (HS) quota at NIT Srinagar and one institute under NIT+ system. In 2025, the closing J&K quota rank for open category B.Tech streams at NIT Srinagar were:

Computer Science & Engineering: 30,248

Electronics & Communication Engineering: 52,524

Electrical Engineering: 68,150

Mechanical Engineering: 83,513
With a rank of 502, you fall well within all these thresholds, indicating secure admission across core branches under HS?UR quota. Ensure participation in JoSAA counseling, list preferred branches, and verify seat allotment rounds specific to J&K quota. Recommendation: Confidently target CSE or ECE at NIT Srinagar under the Home State UR quota given your rank of 502 guarantees admission with ample margin across top branches. All the BEST for the Admission & a Prosperous Future!
