I feel like throwing up I'm having anxiety attacks. I went in to get a cover up of some stars I got a couple years back and ugh I liked this design on paper but its so big and I'm so small it doesn't go with me. Honestly I prefer this than the memories haunting me of the stars but the stars were much smaller and easier to hide. Is this possible to get removed? I feel like crying please helppp
Answer: Instant tattoo regret Tattoo regret is a very common thing. The most important thing you can do right now is breathe! There is not much else you can do for 4-6 weeks until your skin is totally healed. It's OK to cry if you need to, or talk with a friend or family member who will understand what you're going through. You can also reach out to other Real Selfers who have experienced the same thing. Take some time to think about what you would like on your skin. What your goals and interests are, where you see yourself in 10 years or more. It could be that after a period of reflection you decide you like the tattoo. It could be you decide to remove it. If that's the case, the good news is that newer tattoos come out easier as the ink has not yet settled into the dermis. There are many experienced physicians in Miami who provide laser tattoo removal which is the most effective way to remove tattoos such as this. I wish you the best of luck.

Answer: Tattoo Removal Thank you for your question in regards to Tattoo removal. It is best to wait at least 8-12 weeks, until the tattoo is completely healed before beginning the tattoo removal process. Pricing per treatment will vary between offices and location. As far as how many treatments are need will depend on several factors such as skin type, location on the body, ink color, etc. To be sure what is best for you, see two or more board-certified providers in your area for a complete evaluation to make sure you are a good candidate and that it is safe for you to have treatment.

Answer: Tattoo regret Yes, you can have it removed. The area needs to be completely healed prior to beginning treatments. That is usually about 6 weeks. It should respond well to laser treatment, but be prepared for it to take a series of treatments, spread apart by approximately 6-10 weeks. Cost will vary from center to center and will depend on many factors, including the type of laser used and location. I recommend making an appointment with an experienced provider and obtaining information about your particular situation in person.

Answer: Tattoo Regret Thank you for your question. Picosure has a short pulse duration that exceeds photothermal action and results in an intense photomechanical impact. This adds up to faster results and fewer treatments when compared to other tattoo removal methods. It works best on darker inks such as black and blue. The number of sessions required to remove a tattoo can range from 6-10 sessions. The amount of sessions depends on the size, color and placement of the tattoo. The further the tattoo is from the heart the more time it will take to remove. You will need to wait till the tattoo fully heals in 4-6 weeks to start removal. I hope this information helps.
