What the F@$K Was I Thinking?!

Not sure what's up with all the hate I am receiving. RealSelf calls them "unsupportive comments" and deletes them. I joined this blog to help people just like other people on this blog have helped me. I don't feel that I'm being rude or anything of that nature. I'm debating if I'll continue to post anymore updates. I don't believe there is away to delete this blog. I'm going to look into. However, I will continue with my treatments. Good Day.

On Wednesday, March 1at I had my first Picosure treatment on the S, Y and a small cross from a old tattoo that is now under the letter Y. I absolutely hate this portion of my neck tattoo and I am extremely excited to begin with full removal. Same awesome technician as before. This time I feel as if I was mentally prepared for the pain. My clinic now has the cold air blower which I do believe helped a lot. I'm a health conscious person and I believe that played a big roll in my success so far. 8 weeks ago I had the shading removed via PicoSure. When I went back to begin on the ugly half of my tattoo, the technician was pleased with how well my body cleared the ink. Only few spots of shading left on the ugly side. After about 8 hours after treatment I took the bandage off and I was blown away!! Bottom half of the S was already clearing along with the upper and lower parts of the Y and the top of the cross. I honestly didn't expect much. I am excited to continue with treatment. I am kinda starting to think that my tat will clear in 6-8 more treatments. The technician said my healthy lifestyle along with the location of the tattoo is the reason for such great results. I only have a current pic which was about 8 hours after treatment. I'll look for before pics of the S, Y and cross.

So I finally had my first treatment with PicoSure and I must say that I am shocked by both the pain and the results!! First I did change up a few things... First thing was doctor's. I was originally going to Charleston, SC, USA, but opted for a clinic in Raleigh, NC, USA due to the price tag and reviews. Another thing I did was sat down and thought about what I hated about my tattoo. After much thought and anxiety I've decided it's the dense shading that is making me nuts along with the letters "S" and "Y" (the tattoo reads Gypsy) so I decided to begin there. On Jan 5th, 2017 I had my first treatment to remove the shading. I was shocked on how bad it hurt (like being splattered with hot grease repeatedly) and I was also shocked that the shading cleared immediately!! No pain afterwards and now it's two days later and I'm about healed. My next appointment is March 1st so begin removing the "S" and "Y". Due to my compulsive disorder we're going to clear these two letters 100% before moving on to "GYP". My depression and anxiety are all gone. I'm feeling optimistic.
