Ankle and Neck Tattoo Removal -Atlanta, GA
UPDATED FROM nikki39063
Finally happy with results!!
WORTH IT$3,000
My last treatment on my neck tattoo was in 2014 and my last treatment on my ankle tattoo was July 2015. My neck tattoo is COMPLETELY gone and over the past year my ankle has faded to a point that I am very happy with :). No one notices or even asks about my tattoos anymore. I am so happy that I did laser tattoo removal, even though it was expensive and took about 3 years. I am very happy with the results!

Done for a while.
I have decided to wait maybe 1+yr until my next treatment. I started treatment in May 2013 and fit about 15 laser sessions into 2 years. The tattoo is not completely gone, but is light enough to cover with make up so I am happy enough with it. I notice I have some skin darkening from the laser, and hope that a year wait will give it time to improve. Overall ,this process has been so mentally exhausting and such a financial burden. I am happy to have peace enough to give it a rest for a while :)

Thank you for coming back to give us an updated on your progress -- you have come a long way and I think your results are great. Do you just use regular makeup to cover?

Thank you... Yes! It is finally light enough that any concealer can blend it until it is unnoticeable :)

Thank you so much for the documentation of your journey! You mentioned it's been a financial burden, as well as time. How much would you say you've spent so far, if you don't mind me asking? I'm about to start my journey, and I'd like to brace myself for the possibility!

Well each of my tattoos cost about $150-200 per session (which is a pretty normal rate) and it took 7 sessions to remove the stars on my neck and about 15 for my ankle. I found a groupon deal about a year ago and got 6 of the sessions for $10 each which was an amazing deal, so definitely check out groupon! Overall, I've spent about $3000 on these tattoos, but it was over 3 years which made it a little easier. I think the hardest part was just coming to terms with the fact that I ultimately did this to myself, and after that, I just looked at the expense of it as a sunk cost and moved on. Its a frustrating process because after most sessions you look at the pics and feel you've made no progress. However, now that its over I will say that laser tattoo removal DOES work, and I am SO glad I did it. :) Best of luck to you on your journey!!

Thanks for your honest answer! The results on the stars are amazing! I'm sure your toast will continue to fade as well. Thank you for your honest answer about the cost...my tattoo regret is bigger than yours so I'm sure it will cost me more. It's better to know in advance what I'm up against!

Well, to give you a better estimate, I have a tattoo on my ribcage that is approximately 4 in by 12 in that I have had 4 laser sessions on. It cost about $400 each session but i found a groupon for $60 per session. That is probably closer to the cost of yours :)

This is SUCH an amazing removal. I want more people here that have black ink to see this. I can only hope my black ink does just as well. I'm SO HAPPY for you. Congrats.

This is a really awesome result. I also have a tattoo on my neck i want removed/covered. I'm opting for cover up at this stage
