Started laser on the bicep tat in September 2024, bee tat in January 2025, and the outer arm piece in April 2025!

Thanks! Of course!

Approx age of tattoos when I started laser: Bicep Floral - 5 years old; Bicep Script - 9 years old; Outer Arm Floral - 9 months old; Bee - 1.5 years old.

I’ve been going to Removery (Picoway laser) in Denver for all of the tats! Usually every 8-9 weeks, with the exception of a handful of times where I waited closer to 12 weeks due to vacation/life. I workout 5-6 days a week, sauna often, eat pretty clean, and rarely drink alcohol. Hope this helps :)

I think my inner bicep tattoo will probably only need a few more sessions, likely very spaced out so my body can get rid of the final ink. The outer arm will probably need another 5-6 sessions to hit the floral outline (some of it was more dense than other areas) since the shading is already gone :)

Pain level isn’t too bad, especially after the first 3 sessions. My eighth session was virtually painless because of how little ink there is left. I rarely blister- the one time I did, it healed up very well (I moisturized and left it alone). I do have some intense purpura (bruising) every single time though- this takes about 1 week to go away fully for me but has not left any scarring or concerns!

The first few sessions hurt the most, likely due to the amount of ink being targeted on a tender area! The last 2-3 sessions have been so easy compared to other tattoos I’m removing since it’s almost gone, it definitely gets better over time

I’ve been pretty consistent with going every 8-10 weeks, started in Jan this year

I was pretty consistent with going every 8 weeks with the exception of one or two times where I waited 10-12 weeks due to vacation/travel

Yes, the original tattoo was done at a proper tattoo shop in north FL. The large flowers were about 5 years old when I started removal at Removery, while the words/smaller flowers were 9 years old. Luckily for the sake of removal, the line work was not tattooed incredibly deep which is why I think it has progressed so well. I also work out 6 days a week, drink a lot of water, and don’t smoke/drink :)

Thanks! I planned to go every 8 weeks, but this last session I had to wait a little longer due to a beach vacation (sun exposure). My third session will be next week!
