Looking to Remove Black Ink Tattoo (Only 1 Month Old/Denver)

Hi there girl! Im a guy that also has a big tattoo and has been thinking for tattoo removal for a while. I just wanted to comment about the thing you posted a few minutes ago... I really think that it can be removed but you have to consider that the Picosure technology is so new that for a big and dense tattoo you will need maybe like 2 or 3 years. It still hasnt arrive the moment that one patient has sticked to Picosure for that time so its still impossible to prove that. Keep the faith! Im in the same situation as you and i feel it can be erased. But patience, lots of pacience... Mine goes from my elbow til my shoulder and i know that if i wanted to do tattoo removal i have to stick minim to 2 and a half or more years of picosure

The longer I go through this the more I hear about examples of complete or near enough complete removal. Like you say, the internet is full of pictures of partial or incomplete removals, which can be discouraging, but this is likely due to people being more inclined to share bad news, rather than good. Also, the pictures you see at the end of treatments normally don't include the time it takes for skin pigment etc to readjust, as they are largely taken at the clinic, by the technicians, at their (or shortly after their) last treatment, hence there are a lot lot of 'shadow' pictures around. The one review on the internet (google - 'wordpress tattoo removed lessons learned) that gives me the most hope, shows a tattoo 100% removed. This is enough to motivate me and demonstrates that complete removal is possible. Think of the many thousands of successful tattoo removals coming to an end around the world now that just won't be documented and put on to the internet. The process works. Sure, it works better for some than others, but remember we'll only see mostly the bad stuff online. With Picosure I imagine most people are still completing their removals, as it's only been out a year or so, so more and more pictures should be popping up soon.

I know Mike using Fotona at one of his locations. I recall he was a skeptic of Picosure in one of his post. His results are pretty good and backed up by the photos. However we still don't see many complete removals especially of professional and heavy inked tattoos.

you probably wont ever get complet removal of any tattoo especially such dense dense black ink like you have, would you consider a beautiful cover up once its lightened? i think a beautifully done feminine sleeve is the most beautiful thing on a women. instagram gotattooremoval for honest fading, its my tech, shows you whats possible with a good laser and good tech.check my review also

I am about to go for a consultation in Miami for a picosure laser removal. I also have a very fresh tat. no more than a month old in some spots and not more than two weeks old in other places. It looks horrible. I had completely different idea in my head of what the finished product would look like. Now looking at the finished product its just a big brown square on my side with some baby blue around it and a few other little details. Ive been doing a lot of online research into laser removal and it looks like pico sure is the way to go to remove all this light colour. Its all been whip shaded as i was going for an old map sort of look. So the ink isn't very dense in most places. Ive actually just been researching into ReCell which is basically a skin spray. its used for serious burn victims in Australia and from what i can find on the net it looks like they are trying to make it work for tattoo removal. The basic concept is they take a patch of healthy skin from the same area and put it in a machine which breaks down the cells and duplicates the required one until a liquid is made. Then they remove the skin and literally spray it on. it takes 5-7 days for the first layer of skin to rejuvenate and then the rest just grows back normally over the course of a few months. I know it sounds pretty intense getting your skin cut off and being treated like a serious burn victim but by the looks of it you would be up and going within a month with your tattoo completely gone and possibly only some light scarring which may disappear overtime if you treat it right.. Use Bio-oil or something similar. To me this method is much preferable than spending 2-3 years hiding from the sun while getting layered at 2 month intervals. However My tattoo is very large covering my whole side and i don't know if the ReCell approach is possible. Has anyone heard about anything like this? i know the FDA is currently running trials on ReCell for use in the states!! Anyway I've sent emails to providers of ReCell treatment in Australia and England. Hopefully i get a positive response! But no matter what this tattoo must go. I would rather spend 10-15,000 now than carry this ugly thing on my side for the next 40-60 years! Best of luck everyone!

Im 16 and have a bible verse tattoo on my forearm with clouds around it and i don't like it. it's in all black. but i don't think i can afford. i guesss i'll just have to adjust to it

I think you bring up an interesting topic, I have wondering the same thing...they never really show the later stages of their removal...only the start of it, and they never talk about the type of treatment/laser. 

Let us know when you get your treatment. 

Well you bring up a lot of concerns. Yes, there are a lot of celebrities undergoing removal. And yes, it takes some time. No matter where you go, who you are, this removal process is not quick. As for your friend, who did an amateur tattoo, they are much easier to remove. I had my tattoo 6 weeks and then began removal. After ten sessions, it's still there, but it is definitely fading. I don't have any skin damage, no scars, no raised points. And all of that makes me happy. I drink and eat healthy, exercise and sleep as much as I can. I go to a clinic with a medical doctor and experienced staff, it's expensive but worth it. It's important to also keep in mind that everyone's experience with removal is different from others. Staying positive also seems to help. At times, it can be difficult, but the mind is a powerful healing tool. You will receive lots of support on this forum, there are hundreds of people undergoing this procedure and the support is astounding. Good luck, keep us posted. aloha...k

I think the only celebrity that I've read about with a complete removal is Mark Walburg. He had a tattoo on his shoulder that was predominately black and it's gone. Though, like you say , they don't mention the type of laser used. I want to say he had it removed even before picosure but I could be wrong. He is a celebrity so he might've had access to it before the general population. Good luck to you!

Scaring from picosure is pretty far and few honestly. There's a guy on here who even said the picosure helped REDUCE a scar he had on his arm. It's really just about making sure you take great care of it after each treatment. :)
