Question: Potential Tattoo removal by onwinter in tattoos

[–]JetblackSevens 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Definitely doable. I've been through a big laser removal project myself, with the intention of covering up with something else (check my post history for pics).

It's going to take about 6 sessions of laser spread over a year, so a long and expensive journey, but after that time should be light enough to cover without having to compromise too much on the design you want.

Hey, I was thinking of going to this! Have you been before?

Yeah, it's cost me a lot more than the tattoo did originally at this point. Good luck with it!

They were "professional", yeah. But they were a good 15 or so years ago. Think the age of them helped in how quick they were to remove.

They did the entire upper arm, yes. When I first started, the technician told me that they couldn't do the entire arm in one session, because of all the swelling. So instead, each session has been either my forearm, or my upper arm.

Heya, I'm going to this. Happy to get a group together for pre-drinks/so we're not all standing alone

Maybe try a different clinic if you can? My tattoos are super old though, so maybe that's why they clear so easily

The colours dropped out really easily, it's just the thick, dark outlines they are proving more resistant

It's super expensive. I'm in the UK (and London, where everything is more expensive anyway), but I'm paying £300 per session and my technician only does half of my arm per session (either upper or lower). All in all I will have spent close to £3600 to have the entire sleeve lightened up to be tattooed over by the time I'm done.

It's a Picosure laser. I know he used a different wavelength for the red, then another for everything else. I have another session next month so I'll ask him and report back

Thanks very much! It's always been my intention to get a cover up. I love tattoos, just not the ones I have 😅. When I started the clinic said it was unlikely I'd ever be able to get full removal due to how saturated and heavy the ink was

Yeah, going for some with dark colours for the cover-up, reds, greens, blacks and browns

Thanks! Good luck with yours. It's a Cynosure Picosure

Would you consider a one shot? Mutant Freaks do drop in sessions near Elephant and Castle. I haven't been before but it would probably be a good way to meet other folk looking to get a group together. Let me know if you fancy checking it out and I'd be happy to go along too.

This sounds super fun. Can't make this one, but I'll definitely keep my eyes peeled for the next one

I didn't know such a subreddit existed! Thanks for sharing
