Hi Guys,
Not great at updating this thing. Anyway, Newcastle Proskin have now turned around after my 9th treatment to say they aren't keeping me as a client unless I pay now despite being on a picoplan. Bluewater proskin are happy to keep me on though as I had a total of 8 treatments paid throughout a year and however many after until the tattoos gone. So back to Bluewater for my next treatment on the 18th Feb. No point taking a picture as it looks the same as the last one!

Hey just out of interest did you find that you blistered more if you used numbing cream?

Hey guys,
Just an update on how my leg is after 8 treatments. Was supposed to get lasered today but STUPIDLY some fake tan got on the lettering and even though i scrubbed it off my technician was concerned it would still be in the pores and hypopigment if she used the laser. So im going back on Monday morning after a few days of hot baths of exfoliation to make sure its definitely clear. We're going to use the ruby laser on my colours as she isn't impressed with the progress of the colours. Im not happy with the progress of the whole thing either. I remember when I adored tattoos just wish it would go away already!!!

Hi, nice to hear from you! Wishing you lots of fading on your next treatment. Hang in there, I know it's frustrating when you're not happy with the fading, but eventually you will get there.

Hi there! I've been following you for a while now. I am impressed by the results you've got so far - even though I understand you're not happy with the results - because you're tattoo was very "well done", I mean the ink was well anchored in the skin which makes it probably harder for the laser to hit but given the situation the results could have been worse!
Wish you also a lot of fading for your next treatment, you're almost there :)
Cheers from France!

8th Treatment

Again so sorry im useless at updating this! Its been so long I forget to do it! Still hating on my tattoo and its still there. This is just over 1 week after my 8th Treatment. My tattoo heals straight away now no blisters and i dont really need a gauze on it afterwards. Not sure if this is a good or bad thing. As you can see I wait between 2 and 3 months (sometimes more) between picosure laser. Im usually too busy bracing myself for the inevitable pain (i dont take anything for it) rather than the laser settings so sorry please dont ask me. All i know is that each colour has its own setting.

For all those reds and yellows, if was thinking if your PicoSure place has the newest 532nm? Works really great for those colors.

Hi Amy, I've had 7 so far, my pinks are lighter but I have some red too which reacted really bad and they haven't touched them the last two treatments! Due to go again soon, I am hoping they can do the damn colours but at least they are slowly fading along with the black! Ps at least your brave enough to put your tattoo pic on here mine was way too awful (in my eyes that is) x
