Eliminink on Neck Tattoo - Alexandria, LA

I had session 5 before my skin was ready. Definitely feeling it now. I thought I'd be fine getting it done again after 1 week, but it seems like the more sessions I get done, the worse it feels getting the removal done and the worse healing is pain wise. For the first 3 sessions, I felt completely up for doing each session exactly a week apart... No pain, no nothing by day 5 of each week and my scabs consistently were gone by the morning of day 6, giving me a day of "scabless" healing time and it was great! I'm now on day 5 after my 5th session and my scab is thicker than ever and still looks pretty dang gross.. It still hurts really bad and my entire neck is just.. sore. All over. I'm definitely going to wait at least another week before my next session, if my scabs are even gone. Hoping after these scabs are done, they will show even more progress, considering my last one was super painful and I had significant fading and even skin breaking through! Keeping my fingers crossed.

I completely forgot to do some updates on here, but.. I did sessions 3 and 4 and while I didn't see TOO much of a difference with session 3, 4 is already showing great progress! My entire tattoo is scabbed and even with the scabbing, it's very clear this thing is going away! I definitely will need more than the recommended 3-5 sessions I was originally quoted, but hey.. it's still taking WAY less time than doing laser! I will be posting more pictures once these scabs fall off. :)

Session 2 was on Saturday (6/6) and hurt much more than last time. The nurse ended up pushing much deeper into my skin because apparently my tattoo is raised and had some pretty gnarly scarring already from my botched tattoo. I removed my wrap today and my husband said he could already see some line break-up on the left side, but couldn't see too much on the right due to the nasty white scabs. Itching, yet again, so I'm assuming the healing process is in full swing. Hoping for some better results this time around than the first, but we will see in about a week!

{to those who asked about me taping the procedure, I haven't forgotten about you! My 8 month old was having a break-down while at the clinic, so my husband's hands were pretty full. I will attempt to record it this upcoming weekend. :) }
