I have a very large tattoo outline that I am trying to get removed. It will probably take over a year to finish, so I'm taking it slow. I want to see how my skin reacts to treatments.
I've decided to try the tattoo vanish removal process. Here's my story!
This is one day after the procedure. Note the red color is my own blood, the solution that is applied to the tattoo is clear.

If you want full removal please don't use this method

Why not? I'm just curious why you would not reccomend this method for full removal.

Scarring and permanent skin damage. For example, https://www.realself.com/review/tucson-az-tattoo-removal-tattoo-vanish-left-permanent-skin-damage# . Do it the right way and use laser

Thank you, I appreciate your feedback.
I know both methods come with a change of scaring and such. I read a terrible review where a poor girls arms were all white where her tattoo used to be.
I'm nervous, but taking to slow to see how my skin reacts. I'll be sure to post updates.
Wish me luck!

I've seen that review and unfortunately thats also a risk. I will wish you luck! You know what is best for yourself

Hello! I just posted an update and you were right! I’m so glad I only did test spots. I will not be continuing with Tattoo Vanish. I will start Picosure 1064 in February or so. If my white spots do not even out, is there a treatment to treat the white scars?

If it is a scar, not much can be done other than corticortisone steroid shots to flatten them. If it is white pigmentation then sun exposure may help even it out. Leave it alone for now and continue with the laser. It’s most important now that you go to a Experienced doctor or laser technician and listen to their advice!

One week after first procedure

It's been a week and one day and here is what it looks like. I'm struggling to keep the scab on for two weeks. I haven't got it wet at all, but it's peeling and coming off on its own.
You can defiantly see fading already.

Hello!
It’s been 4 months since my first tattoo vanish treatment. I had a test spot on my leg and my back.
Here are the results.
Notice I have some hyper pigmentation.
They keep telling me it will go away in about 6 months, but I’m skeptical. These results are making me nervous.
Also, because I found out I was pregnant shortly after my treatment, the darkening around the treated areas might just be because of my hormones at the moment. We will see!
I am going to take the Dr.’s advice and try Picosure laser removal after my baby is born in January.
