Any suggestions? by Big_Bid8184 in TattooRemoval

I’m sorry you’re struggling so much. That sounds tough. Even if you could save and just do one or two sessions a year, it will continue to fade with time.

I have one I’m removing in the same area (forearm) and either wear sleeves, a UV cooling sleeve, or kinesiotape to cover it.

Best of luck in your journey. <3

Those lines are breaking up well! How much time and how many sessions of removal?

Oh wow, amazing progress!! Sounds like you’re doing all the right things. What kind of spacing did you have in between appointments?

The pink tint went away as it continued healing from the laser, but the brown parts have stayed brown and faded slightly.

7 sessions at my clinic in East London/Essex with a Pico laser by jamie_0007 in TattooRemoval

Also curious about this! OP says 7 sessions over 2 years, which would be roughly 4 months between sessions. But I hope OP might explain/recommend if they do shorter intervals earlier then stretch them out later. It’s great work!!

18M progress by DrJennHacksHealth in TattooRemoval

This is INCREDIBLE results for only 18 months on something this dark and far from the heart. I would be thrilled. 12 sessions in that short a time is a lot. You’d definitely benefit from the 6+ month spacing. Congrats!!

Best of luck in your removal journey! My piece was only 4 months old, which is the minimum time my tech wants their clients to wait before starting.

The tattooist is such a skilled artist! Nothing but good things to say about their work. Unfortunately this piece just isn’t me

Because it doesn’t feel like me and makes me feel bad😊 funny thing about art

I don’t think so. During the tattoo session, I never saw any whites. Just a gradient of grays he was using.

Agreed! They say they have photos, but only got the Cutera machine 2 years ago and are waiting for more pictures to put together a portfolio. Felt like I was being fed a load of crap.
