*Treatment results may vary
June 2019
I'm sorry I haven't updated for a long time. I stopped having tattoo removal treatment for the last 2 years- not because of the pain, results, or the clinic (the place I was going in Southgate,London was amazing).
I moved, then had a family bereavement, so just put treatment to the side for a while...but will be starting up again soon.
I think I've had about 12 or 13 treatments- I still need a lot more before it'll be completely gone-
they say dark colours (especially blue) are hardest to remove..and I've also been told tattoos on wrists are notoriously tricky to remove.
I thought I'd post an update, as was looking over old photos and suddenly realised how far I'd come, and how different it looks now compared to the start. Also, even though I've not had any sessions for 2 years, I think its naturally faded a bit too.
Most of the black is gone, or changed to a light grey. The blue still needs a bit more work!

Another session completed
So it's taking a long time, and even the doctor and the clinic is surprised about how slowly my body is reacting to the treatments. He's trying a new treatment on me- so has done a small test patch to see if it makes any difference. It's definitely fading, just slowly!
11th session complete
Really good session yesterday. Had a really good chat with the Doctor about the treatments, and was encouraging that he's confident it'll eventually completely go....just not idea how many more sessions I'll need. But after over a year, I'm just going to keep going with it- if it takes another 2 years to go it's not the end of the world, at least I've started the process.
Not much blistering this time and just a little pinprick bleeding. Apparently we are up to 140 watts now, but the machine can go up to 1100 so might still have a way to go! Leaving it 2 months between treatments to give it longer to heal up.
Sorry if pictures are a little graphic- will post more once it's healed up to show the change
