No problem!

Hi! It really does work. I’ve only had one treatment so far and I can already see bare skin poking though on some parts. I would recommend going in for a consultation at a place that has the laser, as they can tell you more about it than I can. Anyway, basically the doctor told me he couldn’t guarantee that the tattoo could be completely removed (which is what any doctor would tell you) because of a few reasons. Skin type, your immune system, and the ink. Since ink isn’t regulated and there’s different types, there’s no telling how well it will react to the laser. The darker your skin the harder it is for them to remove. As for your immune system, it’s better if you aren’t a smoker and are physically active with no diseases or sicknesses. Ink color also matters. Picosure works really well for the colors that other lasers have a hard time removing. Light blues, purples, greens, and yellows fade so fast with this laser. Darker colors are tougher, so most places will use their other lasers free of charge to help with the process. As for the treatment itself, it didn’t bother me much. I have a pretty high pain tolerance though. A lot of people have said that laser removal hurts worse than getting the tattoo, so beware of that. It goes quick, especially if you have a smaller tattoo (mine took about 10 minutes tops). Healing is a bitch. I got a ton of smaller sized blisters and it itched for about a week or so. You’ll have to keep it clean and not let the treatment sight get in direct sunlight. All in all, it’s not too bad, but it’s uncomfortable. If you really want it removed it’s worth it. The price is a killer. It’s going to be about double the amount of a regular laser treatment (mine is $600 a treatment). Like I said though, it’s worth it. I’m probably going to need five more treatments, so the amount of time to get it removed is greatly reduced.
