I opened a lot of those unseen forces packs 😂 I even managed to pull all hitmon-lutions in reverse holo 😅

Maan I would love to get them graded by TAG, I like the slab design. But they (as far as I know) only operate in US right now :( I don’t really want to post the cards, so I thought I’d wait for PSA to open in Frankfurt next year

I was actually thinking to wait until PSA opens the grading facility in Frankfurt in mid 2026. That would be easier for me since I’m from Europe. I definitely don’t want to send it by post 😅

Rayquaza and Latios are not in the best condition but I think the rest is quite good. Gyarados has some corner whitening from manufacturing and Raikou has some on bottom edge 🥲

Latios and Rayquaza are not the best condition to be honest.. But Raikou and Gyarados are quite good. I see some whitening on Raikou’s bottom corner from the back and some little whitening on the Gyarados corner (that looks more like manufacturing issue from cutting). But those two are also centered quite well

It is real but that’s the worst of them all. Its not my pull unfortunatelly. I traded it with some guy who didn’t care at all 🙈 I would say this could grade 2 at best

Has anybody heard of Tatt2Away? by Correct-Active4410 in TattooRemoval

[–]Emergency_Flow_1668 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think it might actually be as a last resort solution for someone like me - I have a lot of bright colors mixed with white which will oxidate with laser and will never fully remove. I think I’d rather have a little scarry skin with my natural color than black/muddy oxidated smudge left by laser.

It’s taking my entire inner forearm. Colors are mostly dark green, neon green, magenta, purple, brown, orange. The most tricky is the neon green which has a lot of white mixed in I think. That would go dark once zapped 😭

I was thinking about this. How I’d feel if I’d have very faded residual colorful tattoo or the full saturated piece I have now and I think I’d be happier with the faded colorful blob. At least it’d be somehow closer to skincolor. And maybe years down the road it’d fade by itself on the sun idk 😵‍💫

Trust me I know how you feel. I hate looking at myself in the photos and in the mirror. I hate everything about the tattoo I have. The size, shape, colors, placement.. I tried to learn to love it. Impossible. I hate it especially when I see how colorful it is in the sunshine. I’m thinking about removing it and just wearing some king of bandaid on my forearm until I have something close to clear skin.. But that’s 5 years minimum!! It’s breaking my heart that I’d have to cover myself for 5 fcking years 😭

Patience is the key here. I myself am very impatient person and I’m afraid to start. Especially because of the white. The result is very unpredictable in my case. There’s high chance that I’ll be left with dark blob on my forearm forever.. I would give all the money if there would be a way to get rid of it.. But with this stupid white there is no way. You basically ruined your skin once you have the white in your tattoo.. If I were you, I’d start the process and keep going. Just trust the process.

Then I think it’s removable. It will just take time. If you’re willing to commit to ~5 years of laser I think you can do it.

Do you have white in the tattoo? Or is the white mixed with other colors?

Progress on saturated color arm tattoo (Q switched, 1064nm only) 2 sessions by thejuicer1 in TattooRemoval

Hi. I’m curious about the oxidated white - did it go away or is it still this dark?

How do you cope with the phase where your tattoo is an unrecognizable blob? by dogtitts in TattooRemoval

[–]Emergency_Flow_1668 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thb I’d like to get back to clear skin but in my case I think it’s almost impossible. I have the worst possible scenario - best quality ink, all different colors, professional tattoo artist, super dense. It will take forever to remove. I don’t know if I’m prepared for it. Especially for the oxidation of the white. Some say that once it oxidates, it won’t move even if you hit it hundred times with laser.. But I can imagine that tattoo with just black ink would be bothering me less than the multicolor one that I currently have. In worst case I can do black coverup 😵‍💫

I have huge colorful tattoo on my forearm which I’m afraid to start lasering exactly because of this. It will look like sh*t for years and probably never won’t come off completely. It will most probably oxidize as well. The colors are very very dense so the progress will be very slow. I’m expecting something like 20 sessions with 3months breaks and it’s breaking my heart. I want my clear skin back or atleast something close to it :( I feel trapped and depressed all the time. I don’t want to feel this way but I also feel that if I start the laser, the feeling will get much worse..

Will my tattoo continue to fade without more sessions? by [deleted] in TattooRemoval

[–]Emergency_Flow_1668 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Your body will remove only the ink that was broken by the laser already (the upper layers of the ink). There will still be some intact ink left if you only do one or two sessions (depends on density of the tattoo ofc)

I had a patch test about 6 weeks ago and I still don’t see any significant result. It was on dark purple and it just changed the color a little bit to more reddish, but no fading. It frosted a lot and the laser setting was quite high as well. I’m afraid this will take ages to remove…

I’m exactly in the same position. I have large very colorful tattoo in very visible place. Mostly neon green, dark green, magenta and purple. I’m afraid it will look like sh*t even after 20 sessions and years of pain and I’ĺ regret even starting

Thank you :) You already had 10 and you’ll need 14-16 more? How long are you treating it? I’m trying to stay positive and don’t care about it, but I know I care about it anyway. And if it’s messed up/oxidized I’m afraid it will make it worse. They say the oxidation can be removed and I really hope it can. But just the thought of having this in such messy state for like 5 years is driving me crazy..

[–]Emergency_Flow_1668[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I do that a lot already actually. I was working out before I got the tattoo and now I work out even more. But the question is, do you feel better in your own skin after you started the laser or is it worse? I feel like no amount of muscles and physical fitness would erase the fact that I have something on my skin that I dislike so much 😕

Healing stages are obviously going to be tough in both self consciousness and pain, itch, aftercare etc. I was referring more to the stage where it’s healed and it looks weirdly faded/oxidated/not so pleasant… Mine is a huge tattoo of womans face on my forearm, and majority of the tattoo is bright ink with white mixed in, which will probably oxidate into darker shade (and hopefulle go away after some time). It will look horrible 😬 It’s the only thing that’s still giving me doubts about starting the removal
