I began the process today of having a tattoo removed from my chest. It's about eight years old, 2x3", and contains black, red, light blue, and pink. The dermatologist said it should take 4-6 sessions at $250 ea. I had my first one today and attached are pics. I'll continue to update the progress as I have more sessions and complete the process. Updated on 24 Jul 2014: Wishful thinking? But I think see fading on the left side already. A little scabby and red still, but not as tender. Updated on 26 Jul 2014: Some of the black ink is breaking up and just gone in places. Pretty happy to see such progress so soon :) Updated on 28 Jul 2014: More progress :) Updated on 6 Aug 2014: Funny now the pink ink, which used to seems subtle, is so noticeable now. Updated on 30 Sep 2014: I had my second laser treatment today. Q-switched YAG on the blue/black and KTP on the pink/red. I'll post more pics as the healing progresses. Updated on 9 Dec 2014: I had my third laser treatment today. The black and blue should be gone after this time, but the red will need a few more sessions.

But we're making good progress and the end is in sight. The pink/red is just so stubborn !!
