Ok so I went for another cover up session yesterday , and according to my artist only ONE session left and it Will be done. Next appt we will fill in the gap in my cleavage , color the newerat leaves and then add in the background to cover the last of the old tattoo and tie everything together. then there are two small spots that i will continue to laser off. You’ll see those spots circled in the second and third pictures . I’m takin a break for the summer , next appt is in September, then I’ll get back at the lasering!

Cover up progress!

Had my mst recent cover up session 2 days ago. Man oh MAN, after all the laser and tattoo the area has endured my nerve endings are so shot and sensitive it’s unveliveable. Not to mention it’s alrwady a really painful sensitive spot. Not to scare anyone, but for real- I don’t want to sugar coat anything, this crap does not feel nice. AnywAys , we had planned to get a lot more done this session , but I tapped out after 2 hours. I’m sill really happy with the progress. Such an incredible feeling seeing most of the old ugly crap almost gone ! Next appt is end of April, more color then. Appt after that will be more color, and then background to cover the rest of the old tattoo. So close to the end now.

I forgot to update - I had a cover up appt on January 27th and here is my most recent progress. I go in for my next cover up appt on March 22. I’m feeling hopeful that my coverup will be complete by summer , and then come fall I’ll start back up with the last bits of laser .
The tattoo will have full color , it’s heavy black right now because that’s his cover up process - he will add in color afterwards. I’m really happy with how it’s going and for once, feel like there is a light a the end of this tunnel.

Consult went very well. Professional, informative and answered all my questions. Fair price for treatments with good payment options. Though the numbing cream if you choose to use it , is grossly over priced. **UPDATE: 2nd consult was at institute for skin advancement, *5 star rating in all categories- honest, knowledgeable and very professional. Fair pricing and I felt they have more knowledge of tattoo removal then the last clinic I consulted with. They were also more realistic and straight forward about the results i could expect/achieve. I will be moving forward at this clinic. UPDATE: Institute for skin advancement has been absolutely amazing. I can't say enough good things about the staff. They have made a really really hard time in my life slightly less horrible by being so professional and kind and understanding. HIGHLY reccomend.
