I am 26, male, white (probably type 2 to 3 skin). I have recently (2 weeks ago) gotten a tattoo that I deeply regret. The panic and depression I am experiencing are like no other. There is nothing wrong with the tattoo, I just don't think it belongs on my skin. The tattoo is multicoloured: black, white, blue, yellow and red. The white ink was mixed with all the other colours to create a gradient. Some expert opinions on removal would be fantastic.
I had my first laser removal treatment done 2 weeks ago on my full sleeve. 2 weeks later (yesterday) some bumps/hives showed up in the treated tattooed area closer to my wrist, and it does itch. I started taking an otc antihistamine (reactine), but I find it odd that the bumps are restricted to only being inside the tattooed area and not anywhere else around the body. Is this something that is consistent with a common allergy or should I view it as some serious skin condition developing?
I got a small black tattoo about the size of a dime two weeks ago. Not happy with the quality (some lines are thick and some thin) and the heart is not shaped right. I loved the idea of it but hate the outcome and want it off asap. About how much will this cost? Sessions? How long do I need to wait before starting treatments? Which laser treatment is recommended?
I had my first session of tattoo removal done 2 week ago. I'm getting 2 removed. Both have been healing really well until a few days ago when the intense itching began. Then one on my wrist has now turned red and the lines on the tattoo are risen and red...The one on my forearm is doing the same, some parts are risen and some parts have little bumps all over it (quite a big tattoo) and on some spots the skin looks really shiny. Does this sound normal? Or should I be concerned?
2 weeks ago I had my first laser tattoo removal session on my side of a script tattoo. Some of the lines are almost completely gone but the dark ink within the letters is raised and extremely itchy. Is this a normal part of the healing process? Or am I having an allergic reaction? When can I expect the raised skin to go down? I must note that I didn't blister.
