I got a few small, non offensive tattoos over the years and over the years following I got sick of looking at them. When you get tattoos you don't think of fading or your body aging. Well let me say, tats do fade (and do so rather quickly) and the human body changes with age. By age 35 I was uncomfortable in my own skin so at 36 I started the process. I started with removing 1 but eventually moved to removing 4. I am over a year deep on 1 and almost a year deep on the other 3. It is a long process and by far the most painful thing I ever felt. It is also expensive. If you had to get tattoos in this fashion, no one would ever get them lol.
All of my ink has significantly faded and they do so more and more each session. My doctor is aggressive with the laser but not overly to the point where he is damaging my skin.
All in all this is something I had to do in order to feel like the person I am today, not the person I was at age 22.
My best words of advice are simply don't get tattoos. No matter how good your work is you will change as a person. And if you do want to get them know that tattoo removal sucks and costs a fortune.
I reccomened tattoo removal to anyone who wants to get it done. It is 1000% worth the time, pain and money.
