Tattoo Removal Laser! - Australia, AU

HI everyone, I got my tattoo a year ago on my foot. Talk about pain! with a capital OUCH. anyhow, after the pain, swelling finally went, I didnt like it. I tried with all I could to like it. But no.. Finally after a year, I got the courage to go to a random tattoo shop to see what they could do to make it look better in my eyes. Immediately after looking at it, they said OMG there's nothing we can do, other than recommend laser to at least lighten the darkness of the black so they could do a cover-up, but weren't too sure as it was so deep in some spots (Any wonder it hurt so much) . Dont get me wrong I've quite a few tattoos, but this one.. wow.. Well anyhow I took advise & went to the laser clinic, made an appointment for the same day (Yes I got brave, thought if I didn't do it right away I would chicken out & just put up with it) Laser does hurt. Anyone saying it doesnt well ..... But it is bearable, pretty much like getting a tattoo. Its now been a week since I had it done, I honestly cant see any difference, its slightly puffy around the outline and looks a bit blurry, which I think its all apart of the process. I think I will have to go quite a few times to get it lighter, but now Im more than happy to just to see how it goes. Will keep a weekly post, just so people can read.
