Waiting on technology to Improve, no results with laser

Well, after close to 10 laser treatments on two small simple tattoos and barely any results, I’m just going to see if something improves in this field in the future. I read that Cipher Pharmaceuticals is testing a removal cream that would be prescription but the timeline is 5-10 years for it to be on the market. Other than that, this is not my first experience with lasers. I’ve tried other tattoos too, and in my experience, laser tattoo removal is a scam and a waste of time and energy. It works in very rare occasions for complete removal. Look on this site for example. You can click on 10 stories and you MIGHT find one complete removal and that took 3+ years. It’s marketed to be a solution, but it is merely a weak method that “might work “. When the Picosure came out, they marketed it to make it sound like this was THE ONE. Fewer treatments, more removal, less pain. Lol I tried it, same exact [RS bleep] poor results as every other laser, and just as painful. Whole industry is a complete scam. Don’t know what else to do. Can keep doing laser but it is not doing a damn thing.

Tattoos have absolutely ruined my life for good

Here I am 7 treatments later, tattoo is completely there, just looks odd cause the laser dis colored my skin surrounding it. Every time I see someone with a tattoo in public I look so negatively upon them. Tattoos have singlehandedly ruined me. I was always a happy person before them and my family, friends , and fiancé all say it. I hope they are banned one day but more so I hope tattoo removal gets a better reputation as a credible procedure in the future because for people like me and others it just simply does not get the job done. Best of luck to everyone and remember don't go under a tattoo needle...nothing good happens after it. The attached picture shows the letter R with more trauma because I tried the neomaglight at home removal device, which of course also failed.

Don't know what to do

It's such a hopeless cause. Waiting all this time for a procedure that doesn't do sh*t, I feel like my life is on a permanent hold because of these tattoos. I hate the world of tattooing and tattoo artists for being the platform of this agony for so many people. Technology sucks, the lasers are weak and only remove shadowing, the whole laser industry is a scam..go on eBay and see for yourself there are Medlite laser machines on sale for $500, meanwhile these laser offices charge that much sometimes for one visit. I have no idea what to do anymore, I can't live with these tattoos, so I'm left with no other choice than to waste my time, energy, life and money on this procedure. Maybe one day tattoos will be able to be removed, but it's going to be years and years before that happens. And I can't stand these lying doctors who claim it to fully remove tattoos. They're lying for money.
