I've had 5 sessions on this neck tattoo and I'm becoming discouraged. I just want it gone already. Last session lots of ink came out on the Describe Patch I've been using each session. last session the popping sound was really loud and she said it usually sounds like that when the ink is reaching the surface and treatments are almost done. I would like other doctors opinions. is complete removal even possible at this point?
