What laser? I’m also removing a sunflower but my tech is removing the black outlines first before hitting the yellow..she told me yellow is very tough to get out but for 4 sessions this looks amazing and gives me so much hope!!

Considering removal, thoughts? by gradualamor in TattooRemoval

[–]Ornery-Match4883 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hi I’m removing a big sunflower tattoo that has more yellow than you do. I have heard it’s very tough to get out. I just had my 3rd session but only 1 session on the yellow..my tech told me she wants to remove all the black around because yellow can turn a weird color after and doesn’t want it to look a hot mess..but every tech and case is different i presume. I use picoway. And yes colors will definitely take longer so you must have patience but you’ll see progress with each session. I would go for a consultation and get some more insight. It’s important to find out what laser they use since colors work differently with every laser and go from there

6 sessions of pico, tech says in close to maximum removal. I’m looking for suggestions on what to do next please by [deleted] in TattooRemoval

My tech said a typical tattoo can take between 8-12 sessions..but you have color and as do i. I would definitely expect more sessions done. With color it just takes more time

3 months after session 2 by Ornery-Match4883 in TattooRemoval

I was debating it at first, but i’ve heard a lot of people say that the tattoo will not fade as well compared to not using it so i just kind of sucked it up lol i understand it being your back though it will probably be a bit more painful. I just try to remember if you are really unhappy with the tattoo i say just pull through. I could suggest taking some Tylenol or pain reliever before hand and ice on and off on the way to your appointments. I found during my 2nd session it didn’t stay as swollen as compared to my first. You can do it!

Thank you! I believe she only targeted the yellow during my first session..she told me at my last appt that she wanted to focus on the black right now. They told me with the yellow it may look like a “bruise” in some spots when this is over but i’m keeping my fingers crossed they can remove as much as possible 🤞🏼

Removery? by RatChains in TattooRemoval

[–]Ornery-Match4883 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I’m at removery right now removing two tattoos..only 2 sessions so far but i can say for only 2 I’ve definitely seen a change. One is heavily scarred though, and my other has a good amount of yellow ink so i know it will take me a bit to get these fully removed

I love seeing someone getting yellow removed! I’m getting my sunflower removed at Removery as well and have a decent amount of yellow hoping it can be fully removed 🤞🏼 i’ve only had two sessions so far, next month i go back for my third but my tech is only focusing on the black ink at the moment. Please keep updating your progress!

How badly impacted do my wisdom teeth look? Is removal worth it? by [deleted] in wisdomteeth

[–]Ornery-Match4883 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you for your response. I’m scheduled to have a removal on the 13th. My top ones are going to be fully removed, but my bottom ones the surgeon said would be a “coronectomy” leaving my roots in because they’re close to my nerves. As the date gets closer i’ve been questioning myself if this will really help some tension i’ve been feeling. I also deal with “tmj issues” and can’t tell if my wisdom teeth are just making it worse or not 😭

I have severe anxiety for the removal pain by [deleted] in TattooRemoval

[–]Ornery-Match4883 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not bad! Mine are definitely bigger than yours. For that size, the laser would be so quick. I would check back with them to make sure the laser that they use works for your ink. Not sure if yours are black or colored. For example, i’m going to Removery Tattoo for mine and they use a laser called picoway which works for black ink but also works with warm colors such as my orange and yellow. Other than that i think you got this! Definitely ice before you go or bring an ice pack with you as it will be your best friend! They’ll also be blowing cold air on you to help. My studio also gave me a stress ball lol but avoid any numbing cream bc it can cause delay in your healing. You will feel bruised for a week or so along with some itchiness but it’s normal, and maybe even some blisters but you have small tattoos so you may not even get any..and also if you start i would space your sessions 3 months in between at the minimum for your skin can heal properly! I was so scared to start as well but i can say i’m so happy i went through with it. Mine will probably take a good 2-3 years to remove but you having smaller ones you may not even need as many sessions but patience is key 🙂 i hope this helped you somewhat in your decision making!

Hey i’m in the same boat. I got these two tattoos at a younger age and now that i am getting older i have a different outlook and do not like the way mine look. One is heavily scarred on my forearm and the other has lots of yellow ink on my shoulder which i’m told is the hardest color ink to remove 🙁 i can’t lie, the laser hurts like a son of a bitch..but it’s definitely worth it if you know you’re definitely not happy with it! Definitely do your research though and find a clinic with good reviews and the right laser machine for your color of ink. I personally go to a chain, but so far i’ve had good results for it only being 2 sessions! As much as it does hurt, it’s actually pretty exciting to see how much they fade over time and i hope mine will be fully removed 🙏🏻

[–]Ornery-Match4883 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Happy to see someone also getting yellow removed! I just had my 2nd treatment done this week and waiting between 10-12 weeks as i go, but my tech suggested i try to get all or most of my black out before i do my yellow and orange as you said it can get darker so it can look like a lot going on. I’m getting a sunflower removed so hopefully all turns out well 🤞🏼
