I hate hate hate my tattoo it was a dumb young decision, it looks stupid. I hate wearing tank tops or bathing suits that show it off, I hate being in pictures, I was in a wedding and felt like I ruined all the pictures by being in them. I just want this thing gone. I live in NH and have had a really hard time finding any place near here, most of the local "medi-spas" that offer tattoo removal have bad reviews on the facility, and basically none of the reviews have anything to do its tattoo removal so I feel like they must not do the service very often. Recently reading a review I found on here from someone who went to a place in Boston MA, I think I may have found a place... just have to inquire about price first...

I have been going to Laser Ink in Bedford NH. When I started this review I was planning to go to Boston so my location shows as Boston MA and it won't let me change it! http://www.laserinknh.com Laser ink has been great. I got price quotes from some places with the Picosure laser and was going to end up driving to Boston from NH when I found out that Laser Ink was in the next town over from me! I went in for a consult and found out not only is it closer, they also aim to be affordable because they know how troubling a situation like this is, and just want to help! Roberta was informative and honest with me. She didn't exaggerate on the type of results and told me what to expect. I highly recommend going to Laser Ink in Bedford NH.

it's definitely not actually as bad as you feel like it is. it might need some touch ups though. you should look into tattoo parlour/tattoo removal places. i actually think they have the most experience doing it for the best prices and they're very good about preserving skin texture because they're accustomed to having to do cover ups on recently lasered skin.

Hope this site will help. People here totally understand that feeling of hating the way you feel, not just look when ink you hate is exposed. I have three and just one of them is visible in clothes. I've started the removal process on the one that shows and even though I have a year or so to go, just getting started is a big relief. I agree with the comment below that it's not that bad, you could try a redo, but that won't solve the problem if you just want an ink free arm. There are some reviews I've read on here about stories of multiple cover ups on unwanted tattoos, then they STILL end up having it removed. I think multiple layers of ink with cover ups are even harder to get off so just think about what will really make you happy. Good luck!

So I have been procrastinating... I haven't gotten any treatments done I just didn't have a big enough reason yet I guess. I just got engaged this summer so now I feel the need to do something. Through research I found a place in NH that has the picosure laser! So that means no traveling into the city! The pricing was actually lower that the place in Boston who I consulted with previously. So win win for me! I had my first treatment today on FOUR AREAS. It definitely didn't feel wonderful and the one on my shoulder really hurt for about and hour or two after (burning feeling). I have some vlistering already but I am told that is to be expected. I will update with my progress throughout this journey. I am hoping to be rid of my tattoos by September 2016 for my wedding!

Day of treatment

Day 2 after 1st treatment.

The places with the more concentrated dark ink are the areas my blisters seem to be. I feel like I look like I have leperacy but it doesn't hurt much. The blisters just look really gross. My doctor said I Han poo to blisters if I want but that will mean o have to take care of an open wound. I am having trouble deciding which is worse and I'm. It sure if I should pop or wait for them to go down. The ones on my shoulder are huge I can't imagine it won't pop when k put clothes on. Anyways here are my graphic pics from day 2. It looks worse than it feels I promise!

My technician recommended using ice all day on the tattoo areas after treatment and I never got blisters. Just use bags of frozen peas 40 min on 20 min off all day after treatment. Wrap the peas in a freshly laundered t shirt or pillow case and put a bit of aloe on your skin. It helped so much and will maybe make the treatment less difficult next time.
Your fading looks really great already, good luck!

Thank you. That is a great idea. The blisters are terrible. I will ice next time!
