My Long Tattoo Removal Journey

ORIGINAL POST

I've been getting this tattoo lasered since 2015...

I've been getting this tattoo lasered since 2015 now. It's SO painful and so expensive that I go months with out having a session.
I was originally doing treatments with a q swith laser at laser away which were around $100 a session but after 6 sessions of seering pain and agony my tattoo barely budged. So I sought out picosure treatments. They are $500 a session but I see significant improvement after each session. I do have some scarring from the laser though which I'm not too happy about.

WOW! I GOT A TATTO ON MY MOUND AND HAVE BEEN WANTING TO LASER IT FOREVER BUT AFTER SEEING THE BLISTERING AND THE POSSIBILITY OF INK REPLACED PERMANENT BY A SCAR, ASIDE OF THOUSANDS TO BE SPENT, I THINK IT WILL REMAIN WITH ME INDEFINITELY. I AM SORRY YOU EXPERIENCED SO MUCH PAIN AT SUCH HIGH COST. I LIVE IN SANTA CRUZ SO THERE COULD HAVE BEEN A POSSIBILITY I COULD HAVE GONE TO THE SAME PLACE YOU WENT AS WELL. BEST OF LUCK....(SORRY FOR THE CAPITAL LETTERS, MY COMPUTER IS ACTING UP)

I think my tattoo is gonna scar pretty bad. But at least with picosure the ink comes off as opposed to the qswitch which did nothing.

I'm so sorry your journey has been so painful and expensive! I cannot believe the blistering you've endured. I wish you the best, hope the new approach is successful.
