Hello !
I will start by saying thank you to all who post reviews , is dedicated and completes it. It helps so much people from all over the world.
I took a tattoo when I was 16 years old ( 06/06/06 ) easy date to remember ..... hehe
It was a medium tribal on my arm , I did not love it but not hate it either, it was just there.
I am now 23 years old.
So a year ago I started to play around with the idea of a Coverup ( 3/4 sleeve ) and did some research to find a suitable artist for me.
And since I'm a perfectionist (you can not accept less when it concerns a tattoo )
I chose one of the best in Norway too do the job .
There is nothing wrong with the tattoo design, just some things that were not done according to plan with the colors and that you can see the coverup little too much.
(for me it is quite a serious mistake )
Maybe she had a bad day , because the rest of her work is amazing ! : (
Typical my luck ....
It started with the two problems escalated and I started to dislike the hole tattoo and I struggle with accepting the size.
I'm so stupid, and this was ment to be something nice that I can show off with pride, has been the opposite, I never thought I would regret a tattoo, I love tattoos, but maybe not so much on me ...
So now I have a 3/4 sleeve color (mainly Blue , Green , purple , some orange , yellow , brown and black, not too dense) that I'm considering to remove completely , or remove so much that I might have something smaller there .....
I used to be the happiest person in the room, but after that everything has been very difficult for me, I eat little, throwing up, spend a lot of time to find out about tattoo removal, I think about it all the time, little sleep; and when I sleep I dream about it, and I am very afraid of losing myself in all of this .......
Fortunately for me the Picosure have come to Oslo, Norway ( 30 min from where I live) as the first Picosure laser in Scandinavia.
With this and all of you here it have given me hope that this nightmare might disappear one day.
(Especially this review from Ginamyte: http://www.realself.com/review/liposuction-and-cosmetic-surgery-institute-picosure-blown-away) Thank you!
Have not yet seen any black and gray tattoo that has had more fading than this, I think the days of that "colors are much more difficult to remove than anything else" is history with the new laser!
Or Maybe it's just something I want to believe .....
Hope you understand my English, hehe, and once again .....

Thank you!

Hugs from Norway

First off I want to welcome you, you have connected with an amazing group of people that will help see you through this. As you can see in the community there are lots of people (myself included) at varying stages of the tattoo removal process, and the Picosure is showing some very impressive results! Many of us relate to your reaction to tattoo regret, but know that it will be ok, things happen in life, not everything always turns out as planned, otherwise life would be no fun if we knew the outcome of ever moment ;) I remember being in that place, the sleepless nights, not eating, and my thoughts and dreams consumed by the regret of the tattoo- which was also a cover up for me (Blackberry11 is my review). Try and focus your thoughts elsewhere, I know that seem hard, near impossible at the moment, but you can do it. Getting outside in nature helps, going out with friends, reading, or good movies. Know that once you begin the removal process you will see it gets easier. Be sure to keep a  diary of your progress on here. It helps to get things out and write them down and and as you know it will help others too! Good luck to you :)

Thanks for the kind words! and you're absolutely right, it's just hard to see at times .... I have tried to look at it as a motivation to get in better shape and improve myself. I know very well who you are, have followed you and many others on this site, almost feels like I know you! hehe And if I start this process you should be familiar with me aswell :) Continue the good job you are doing here! and soon it will all be over, you've come a long way! Have you figured out what to do about the cover up? And congratulations on your new cool tattoo! You are brave! hehe

Consultation and "1st" Treatment!

I have had a consultation and was very well received.
Something I was most afraid to hear was if it was actually possible to remove it, and how much it costs.
The answer was YES, it is possible with 6 treatments and will be divided into 2 to 3 times per full treatment because of the size and wait 6 weeks between each treated area.
And if its not gone after 6 treatments, the treatments will be free :)
Have been taking a small part of the tattoo already so will most likely post pictures soon.
(So glad i have started to fix this mess! :P)
He was very eager to see the result on my tattoo with Picosure and thought it was gonna work well , which I can already see.
The most places he have gone over with the laser is completely ink free !! :)
The pain was not too bad either , and I had only cold air.
It was going to cost 3000 kr (500 USDollar) per treatment (3/4 sleeve all round)
So the total would be 3000 USDollar for the whole tattoo gone without surprises :)
Something that came as a complete surprise to me because I have seen many others prices here generally are from the U.S. and UK, they are quite expensive and I thought I had to pay 3 to 4 times more because we do that with everything else in Norway.
We have to pay on average 2.40 USDollar for one liter of petrol and 17.30 USDollar for 1 drink on the town!
So you see Why I was afraid of the price! .... hehe
This is going to be tough, but am glad I've got some good news in all this :)
