Erasing the Worst Mistake of my Life - Berlin, Germany

So I got my first ever tattoo exactly a month ago...
So I got my first ever tattoo exactly a month ago while I was on holiday in Italy with a couple of friends. I still don't understand why I got it done, why I let myself be pushed into getting it done and why I didn't listen to my own reasoning and refuse to get it done, but I ended up being pressured into it and regretted it immediately. Coming to terms with the fact that I even let myself get into this situation is hugely disappointing and a massive kick in the teeth, having made me realise that I'm perhaps not as confident as I had previously thought.
Luckily the tattoo is small (about 4cm, I think) and is very easy to hide as it is placed on my side where my bra can cover it. This, however, doesn't stop me knowing that it is there, and somehow it is all I can see whenever I see myself in the mirror.
As soon as the holiday was over and me and my friends went our separate ways (all three of us got the tattoo done which were all triangles but all different, and I didn't feel confident enough to tell them I hated it and wanted it gone as soon as the needle touched my skin), I started to look up my different options for removing this god awful tattoo. I am currently at university in the UK, but my problem is that I've just started my year abroad and will be living in Germany until February, then moving on to Russia until the end of June.
I have found a clinic in Berlin called Pure and Beautiful, with whom I have already had a consultation and have scheduled my first laser removal appointment for the 21st October. The owner and consultant, Simone, appeared very professional when I met her, and the clinic looked and smelled very clean.
I am excited and very hopeful about this whole removal process. I am hoping to be able to fit in 4 sessions (or 3, at the very least) in total at Pure and Beautiful before I have to go to Russia in February, by which point I would like to see a very noticeable difference in the tattoo. I plan to then wait until I go back to university again in September 2015 to continue with the removal process, either in Bristol or London.
I plan to keep up with updates so as to be able to see progress not only in the tattoo's appearance, but also in my mentality and the psychological aspects of the removal process.
Wish me luck !
