hi guys.... 4 years on and it hasnt gotten much better. these tattoos are still on me n i hate them just as much as i did when i first got them. because they are still affecting my confidence and self esteem making it hard to.move on with my life and find work. about 2 weeks after my last post in 2015 i ended up in a psych ward suffering from delusions due to high levels of stress. im not blaming the tattoos but it was definately a contributing factor to my psychosis.

3 treatments in one year and 4 months since tattoo was done
Hey guys.... thanks for following your support means the world.
Hello I was very down when I wrote last review. So it wasn't written with much detail.... I'll keep informed with further posts ! I am currently unemployed looking for work so it's hard with looking for the money in getting my treatments on the ball...
Although I've planned it out it will be $27 per week for 18 months until removed presuming it will take around 8 more sessions using the q switch removal system. The lady I see charges me $160 per session anyd predicted around 12 sessions until complete removal.

Hey !!!!!
in september 2013 i couldnt handle things... i didnt like being me... so i thought id become more interesting if i went too a tattoo parlour and got a tattoo and i had too do it that day !
So off i went // didnt research the artist... i had a brief idea of what i wanted which was a delicate / water cloured flower... light pink. and - maybe- some writting, depended on my mood ... i was being cool.. going with the flow ://
anyways i went there and the guy changed up the design EXTREMELY and said its better this way its how we do our tattoos here / japanese / oriental.... i remember not liking it.
but i got it.
don ask me why.
i cried that day... i had alot going on in my life... i already had low self esteem and issues - since this tattoo fiasco i have fallen deeper into my deppression. i used too like being able too control the way i looked and that gave me some confidence. this has sucked it out of me because .. 1. i didnt like the design and 2. i keep beating myself up about it. 3. i see it on my wrist and arms everyday.
well theres no other option for me but removal.. i have already had 3 removals ... at this stage. many more too come

Hi there.
I definitely can relate to what your feelings. I also hate my new colourful tattoo. Your tattoo look pretty i think, compare to mine that look like a colour mess. But if you don't like it, it's all the matter. It's great that you already got removal treatments. I wish you the best of luck. May i ask you, what kind of laser do you use to your flower tattoo? And how was the fading so far?
Don't get too down! Remember that you are now in control and your tattoo is on it's way to being gone. I hate that tattoo artists can be kinda bullying about the pieces that we get put permanently on our bodies. I had a similar experience, my artist went way too big with my arm piece and when I said I was feeling uncomfortable with the size he told me that smaller would look strange.
My experience has taught me to listen to my gut and try not to be persuaded by other people. Hopefully you'll find a way to get some positives out of this whole ordeal. Good Luck!
same happened to me. I probably wouldn't try to remove mine if I had insisted on a reduction in the size of the tattoo. He convinced me a smaller tattoo wouldn't cover up my scar and that's silly now that I look at it. My tattoo is easily twice as large as it needed to be.
I have photos I'll upload tonight of my progress so far. Yes I am very hard on myself ! I wrote that review in anxiety just needed too get my story out. :( I'll keep posted I did my calculations of about 8 more sessions and it will cost me around $27 per week for 18 months. Thanks so much for your input guys I feel so less alone in this and it's really helped ! When I'm feeling low I log in and check it out on here.
Can you post pics of the other tattoos you got and what the areas look like after removal? Was there scarring?
Please don't beat yourself up. I'm in a similar situation. To us in our minds the tattoos stick out a mile but in reality no one bats an eye lid at them. Get some good cover up make up, a fancy watch with some nice bracelets maybe? A cover up? Persevere with the laser it'll be gone soon enough x
