Medium Sized Tattoo with LOTS of Color - Denver, CO

It has been a few months since treatment 9. I can definitely see results but I want it to go so much faster. I am taking a long break and enjoying my summer in the sun and the mountains. Considering what I would get for a cover up, but the idea of more ink makes me sick. I want it to come off! I can't believe I have been working on this for 2.5 years... I may get another treatment or two this winter but I am sick of the pain and the money its costing. I think the picture makes it look more faded than it really is. But I can definitely see results.

A few weeks ago I had a treatment with a CO2 laser. This was not intended to help with the actual removal but more for the scarring (I had one keloid that tends to form after treatment and then subside) and the oxidization of the white ink. This treatment was free, and much less painful. I healed super quick and the scarring is much better. I also think that the oxidization has faded a little, which makes me very happy. I have had no bad side effects from this treatment. And b/c it is much easier on the skin I am going back for a laser treatment in about 2 weeks. Really ready to keep going with this tattoo, although I think there is still a very long road ahead of me.

I think I have had 4 treatments on this one, but it may be 5. I get this one treated for free b/c its so small. This tattoo may actually hurt worse during the actual treatment b/c of the placement, although it doesn't hurt at all after or during healing. It is fading pretty nicely, and I am excited to get it in the sun this summer. Hope this one goes quickly b/c it is my most visible tattoo at work.
