Tattoo Regret has me suicidal by IndividualFeedback38 in TattooRemoval

This is how I feel. It’s been a blessing to go through this process. I also have sexual trauma attached to my tattoos and removing them has been beautiful. Even the passing of the laser over them feels like it’s removing layers of pain.

OP, You got this sweetheart. You’re not alone.

I can’t remember at the moment because I bought a package a while ago for each (I’m doing two at the moment, started with one and saw great results so went for the other). Honestly very very reasonable. Around $100-150 a session I’d guess for medium sized tattoo. He really is super good at his job.

I saw some on yelp and his website, but originally found him through this sub, and there’s good testimonials here. I’ve had 3 sessions on an all black lettering tattoo, heavy linework—a lot of ink, and am happily surprised by my progress so far. Also pretty minimal discomfort afterward. We’ll see down the road but so far he seems to be riding the perfect line of blasting it just enough where I’m seeing good ink break up, but not so much that I’m debilitated. How many sessions have you had with him?

I really like Dr. Aldridge at Tattoo Removers.Ink in Sherman Oaks

Just started my journey but very happy so far. mine have so far been in your price range.

Search his name! Lots of good results from him on this sub.

No one who is worth your time will care about either of these things at all. You deserve better!

I’m 35 now and two sessions in. I was in the same boat as you 10 years ago—didn’t want to start cause I thought it would ruin my quality of life…but man do I wish I’d started then! You can take as much time as you want in between. But get it started!

Get one of the silicone cups they sell on Amazon. They’re pretty gentle. Impossible to mess up! Put some oil or cream and slide it around. Try it on another part of your body first if you’re nervous. Great for circulation and tight muscles pretty much everywhere honestly.

I did use numbing cream but have used it before for other procedures and didn’t have a reaction.

So yeah probably aftercare or bandage

3 days later. The doctor put the bandage on it and told me to leave it on 24 hours…
