My tattoo is all black and big, on my arm from my shoulder to my elbow. I've had 17 sessions and it has faded an extreme amount but is still very visable. I've been treating it correctly and using sun block or covering it from sun light. I'm worried it will never go? In the photo attached you can see how much has faded as you can slightly see a tattoo on the back of my arm that I'm keeping which was the same darkness as the one I'm having removed. Thank you
