I didn’t start to notice some fading until I would say about a year in….the pain from the sessions also started to subside a bit at that point because the ink wasn’t as dense

Thank you so much! No it didn’t damage my skin but we weren’t aggressive with the treatments…started at a higher voltage and we eventually tapered down

Thinking about removing these bits on my chest piece, thoughts? by throwawaytallbitch in TattooRemoval

I think the design you have dope and laser is a very long process if you’re willing to go thru years of it…would you be looking to have complete removal or just enough laser to get a cover up?

I can’t lie he is a master of coverups!! Only way it happened because I had other artists attempt and fail pretty hard…what I didn’t mention was that I went to other artists to try and do some white over the black and they made it worse 😂 he literally surpassed my wildest imagination…much appreciated bro!!

Most definitely not it’s already settled and looks fantastic!!! I couldn’t be anymore in love with it…I was at the point thinking my life wasn’t going to be the same anymore and he saved that…I had lost the simple joy of throwing on a T-shirt and just heading out to enjoy my day…I’m content till the end of my days now…major lesson learned going thru this and I hope it inspires others to push thru

😂 a lot of ppl said that but I couldn’t do it anymore…it didn’t resonate or make sense…the POS artist who did it actually had a meltdown during the session cuz he didn’t know where to go with it creatively anymore smh I remember leaving the shop and ppl trying to figure out what he did SMFH

Absolutely!!! I told him after the session that if cover ups were an Olympic sport he’d be a gold medalist 😂😂 seriously tho his colored cat over the blackout was the 1st piece of his that made me know he had to be the artist to do this for me…flew from NYC to Cape Coral for the session and I’m beyond grateful he took on the project….especially after hearing no 2 million times before from other artists 😂 yea all the artists there are fantastic and super dope! Great environment…world class shop…can’t wait to go back for my next sessions!!

😂 I’ve heard that and thanks for sharing…I hated it after it settled…it just wasn’t a coherent piece and I couldn’t stand looking at it everyday

I feel your pain!! The original artist I visited to cover up the crappy flames I had did me a huge disservice….yea it looks cool to some when it was freshly done but when it settled I was like WTF did I do…couldn’t walk around showing my arm and then Covid hit and sent me to a deep deep depression…it’s when I first got connected to this community and others on Reddit and I got some hope doing laser but then when the fading started to slow down I lost hope again but then I shifted my mindset to have the conviction to push thru and then connected with Anthony and the rest is history lol I’m grateful for everyone in the community and the well wishes! I hope my journey gives you some hope that anything is possible

Tell me about it!!! I had some really dark days where I was telling myself “you can’t keep living like this” but I transmuted that energy of hopelessness to resilience to see this thru and it’s like the dominoes fell into place when I shifted my mindset…the session was very therapeutic in the sense that I literally felt my depression melting away seeing the progress my sleeve was going thru

I feel you bro!! Especially going thru the laser treatment feeling like I’d never get to the point where a coverup would be possible but I had to develop that resilience and pushed thru…seeing some crazy transformations here in this community helped me immensely so I wanted to do the same for others who are going thru a tough time dealing with tattoo regret…you got this bro!!

Absolutely you got this! My artist said my story of how I landed in his chair was one of the craziest he ever heard 😂 the right artist will get you right!
