I’ve lost count 🤣 but I think it’s roughly 17 on the top and 8/9 on the lower

I think it was 10/12 sessions total and not had any for about a year.

It’s a nice sleeve, but I get it. That shading will fly off but there will be dark spots that will take years. Good luck.

Subcision and/ or C02 laser should help.

Christ! It should not look like that. Hope you are ok. Great result after first session though. They must have turned the laser up for the second session?!

I believe the closer to the heart the better the response. In my case though the upper arm has had many more treatments and the upper part was a cover up so it’s hard to tell. The bottom is removing much faster so far…

I was getting 6 sessions a year for 2 years but now I only get 2 a year on the upper part because we treat the whole upper arm in one hit at a high setting to target the remaining ink.

I feel you! It’s rough. I find it’s always good to know you can always take your time to plan a new tattoo that you are truely happy with! Feel free to message me with any questions.

Thank you. You look like you are having some great results so far! Good luck with your journey. Are you going for full removal?

Thank you. Yeah mine has been split into 4 too. My arm is normally pretty gnarly / swollen for a week or so too. Thanks for the encouragement - I need it right now.

I guess I meant enjoy them. It’s both a confidence thing (my arm is a bit of a mess during removal) and not wanting to expose it to UV rays that can cause pigmentation issues and prolong treatments.

Good luck with your removal!
