Just wanted to check in! Thanks for the kind words on my efforts. For some reason I cannot see your photos so I can't really give my input on your process! Also, super interesting news on the femtosecond laser! Wouldn't that be a crazy thing on the market! Keep your chin up and move forward

another question: do you have a before picture?

unfortunately no before pics.- someday I may track one down- but only have really blurry ones. The first set of pics. is many months after #1. The place in Germany near Frankfurt does seem better. I will probably go there next- since I'll be in France for longer than expected.

it would be nice to have something to compare. it seems that your outlines have nearly disappeared from only two treatments..

Ya, unfortunately- my outlines were fairly light to begin with, it's been a year between treatments and this second one barely faded them:( Although, I only had a small section of the colorless scales treated this time. So you have to look at the outline around the color- if that makes sense. Still, the pico barely had an effect on the outline around the tail...?

but you only treated your ink to times with a laser? have there been outlines? :P

I'm not sure if I understand your question. To be clear, I actually only treated much of my tattoo 1 time. And only some of the red flames have been treated at all- with a different laser over a year ago. This 2nd pico treatment was only the color in the dragon and tail including it's outline and a few of the scales without color- to see their progress. I also treated a little plain black swirl in the same area. I did it that way because I wanted to avoid serious swelling- The time before I had a lot of swelling down to my hand for 3 or 4 days.

That's interesting reading about the femtosecond laser being developed. Imagine getting rid of a tattoo in one or two sessions, think that sounds to good to be true. I'm sure I read it took 9 years for the picosure laser to go from the prototype and onto the market so I wouldn't hold your breathe on seeing a new laser come on the market for while yet anyways.
