I have had three tattoo removal sessions in 6 week intervals. The first two were performed by the same person, they went relatively fast giving two passes with roughly 6000 pulses. I did experience a lot of swelling and some blistering that went away in about five days. A different professional performed my third session 2 days ago, doing one pass & 14000 pulses. My arm is severely swollen, covered in blisters, and I am forming blood spots under my tricep.
