Not Sure if Im Being Ripped off - New York, NY

That would be discouraging to not be seeing much result when you are spending your time & money to get it removed. From the picture you posted it does look a bit faded. Of course I don't know how dark & crisp it was to start with, so maybe that is how it always looked.

Jeskey & Tena G. seem to be seeing good results. Check out their reviews & find out what kind of laser is being used on them. Maybe you could find someone in your area that is skilled with that type of laser?

Did you ever have the Tattoo touched up? If so, you might want to check out donatsu's review. They talk about trying to remove a tattoo that was touched up & seems to be having extra difficulty with it.

 

Thanks Megan, the tattoo is 10 years old and wasnt too faded so there has been some fading with the laser, I just see other peoples results and it seems like mine is taking longer. I also don't have too much pain or discomfort after the laser so I'm wondering if its just on an extremely low setting to get more sessions out of me.

I did tell them my concerns and they said its a long process and not to believe the places that say it will takes 3 or 4 or 5 sessions. They say it can take 20 treatments. My dermatologist who treats my acne does tattoo removal as well but charges triple a session and she said she cant tell me anything unless they do a treatment because everyone is different and she wont know how the ink is until they do a treatment, but she said she uses the medlite as well and the reason they cost more is because she is an MD. I live in NY prices seem to be higher here.

Your tattoo does look like it's fading a bit. I am getting black, red, and green removed and the black is taking the longest. I've also had five sessions. I would get a consultation somewhere else. Every video i've seen and from my own experience the tattoo turns white for a few seconds then goes back to normal, but not everyone gets blisters.

Thanks Tena, I asked them why doesnt it turn white (it turned white the first time) and the response was that with each treatment my body gets used to it and doesnt react as much as before. I live in NYC and there are alot of tattoo laser removal places but I dont know anyone who has been to any and reviews on yelp dont look promising... The place I go to has good reviews on yelp thats why I chose them.
