ORIGINAL POST
So I have a few tattoos.. I would like to get them...
WORTH IT$3,000
So I have a few tattoos.. I would like to get them all off but becuase it is so costly I decided to remove the ones I dislike most... that would be stars on my neck I got about 5 years ago and a toast on my ankle I got about 9 months ago.. (don't ask). I have had the toast lasered once already but this will be the first time for the stars (dec 6 ) .. I hope my pics can help anyone and I would appreciate and feedback or encouragement.. this process really stinks :'( say no to tattoos!

hi, while i dont agree to "say no to tattoos", I think youre very lucky here. the stars are black, the outlines aren't thick, the tattoos are small. you can already see the stars breaking up some. maybe somebody with more expertise could add further encouragement, but from what I can see you should be able to completely remove them (the stars) in a few treatments. also youre very brave, I could imagine the neck hurting. make sure to drink lots and lots and lots of water in the next few weeks and you should see some fading.

1 week 1 day
So here's the neck one week one day later... I'm seeing good fading already! Im very excited about that... The toast is still scabbed over and not looking so good. I'm taking dailt multi vitamins and fish oil to help the healing. :)

Hi Nikki39063, The Hoya ConBio Med-lite is a good, older device. It isn't ideal for the bluish/green color and you may want to seek out a laser that has a Ruby setting for that. Also, the injectable lidocaine is a less desirable choice than topical preparation (please see my post on that). Hope this info helps and good luck!

Well, I'm not really sure to be candid. You can probably find it by looking for my responses under my name or in the forums in tattoo removal. Best, Dr. Kirby

I asked the nurse for topical lidocaine and she said it didn't really work and did the injection on me instead. It was a pretty awful process using up a lot of needles on my tattoo and it hurt quite a bit. I was thinking of buying topical lidocaine on amazon since they don't want to use it on me themselves.
Thanks so much for taking the time to share your story with the community. What kind of laser are you being treated with? Do you find it painful?
