After having about 10 laser sessions at one place - Tattoo Removal - Auckland, New Zealand

After having about 10 laser sessions at one place I found out there were actually different lasers so I did some research. The place I 1st went to apparently has a bad reputation. When I got it done at the original place my stomach and foot would swell(where the tattoos are), have heaps of blood blisters, my foot tattoo bled so much my shoe filled up with blood. It was painful of course. The pain afterwards was much worse when I went to this place. I remember writhing in pain I couldn't stop moving. It felt like a major burn. My body would also go from hot to cold- I think this is a form of shock. My sister considered taking me to the doctor or hospital. My whole tattoo would turn into a giant blister by the end of the first day. The only way I got over the pain was to try and fall asleep with ice packs and take pain killers. I would then wake up feeling much better. I thought this was what the norm was for laser tattoo removal..so I went for approx 10 sessions So the 2nd place I went to had the Medlite laser. The place was a lot better. It still hurt a lot. Afterwards was bad but not as bad as the first place. note: I Used Emla numbing cream for all times I have had it done..Still hurt! But it is quick. I had one session here Reading on here I heard the Q-tag laser (not sure of exact name) was the best. It took me awhile to find one in my country. There is only one place here who has it. Skin Institute. So my 3rd place, Skin Institute, I had the Q-tag switched laser. I was not expecting to have the laser done right then as I thought I would have a consultation. But she told me ice works really well and I could give it a go. So we iced up my foot, I was nervous but she really put me at ease. Best service ever. The lady was lovely. She iced it afterwards for a few minutes. I had that same burn feeling but not the horrible feeling I had at the first place. In fact when I got home I didn't even ice it with frozen peas. I don't know if it was better because (A) the Laser (B) the ice worked better than numbing cream. I was walking around and fine during the day. My foot did puff up to a giant blister. it has been really itchy!! First night it was soooo itchy and today (1st day after) it is really itchy. I have heard that means it is healing?? I really hope this gets the blue ink I am having trouble with. Also Green on my stomach I am also surprised that the reddy pink bits on my stomach haven't faded that much If the blue does not fade, I am considering getting the foot tattoo cut out.
