I Feel it's important to share my experience with tattoo laser removal to help others. My tattoo is 6x12 upper back. It is a cover up, however the tattoo before was very small light circles down my spine , the majority of the tattoo being removed is the cover up. I have had 1 treatment Sept 7 2012 and will be going for my 2nd treatment on Oct 27. I will add photos as often as I can so you can see progress. Oh, cost - 166 per treatment as I bought a package deal, I have a total of 15 sessions.

Thank you michelllie! I still have a few things left to finish up (shading and touch ups) but overall it's done.
Thank you Ndsoul :)
I really don't know if it's the same laser, by the sounds of this FAQ sounds like it might be or is similar: http://www.realself.com/question/new-zealand-nz-quanta-choice-multi-colored-tattoo-removal-picosure-ect-country

Hi MissCherry, thank you for your comment. I removed the tattoo because it was too dark and poorly done. At the time PicoSure wasn't available to me, if it was, I would have tried it because it works so well on purple.

My plan is - eat mostly raw vegan food, as I am a vegan - so no preservatives, organic when I can - nuts and seeds, fruit. Lots of juicing to keep my immune system strong. Iam very active and workout and run and do yoga daily. I have however been pretty down about this tattoo and need to ramp up my workouts and fight it rather than let it get the best of me! I also try to get at least 8 hours of sleep and drink tons of water. I do not smoke or drink.I know my tattoo looks like one that will be hard to remove, but I am determined to get it off my back - what a huge mistake- what was I thinking! It looked so nice in the sketch, elegant, and it came out a nightmare, The artist who said he would sue me for slander if i used his name was a "world renown" artist...NOT - however he does have great work in his portfolio, so why did he screw up mine...oh well....

Machine was turned up to level 1.8 - it hurt more but went faster.
Was able to go shopping all day after treatment, not much pain after, feels like a sun burn, just like before.
Oh yeah, I can definitely see change between your before and after your first session. Thank you so much for posting photos so others can see what the progress and changes look like.
Next time you are at an appointment could you find out specifically what kind of laser they are using for you? There are many available, so it would be great to know which one is being used. :)
Thank you!! Will be keeping my fingers crossed for great results for you, and looking forward to watching your progress.
Thank you Megan!
