half sleeve tattoo removal with picosure laser

Well i just had my first picosure laser session 4 days ago on my arm. it was the start of a half sleeve that i ended up hating because of to much color. it is costing me $1100 a session. i was reading alot of reviews on this laser n everybody seems to say something different about the pain of the laser so i really didnt know what to expect. they put numbing cream on you before which dont think did anything. this was by far the most painful thing i have ever felt. theres people saying it feels like rubber bands snapping at your skin and it def does not!!!!! its 100x worse then any tattoo. it took about an hour for mine because its so big. the blisters started that same night and the next day got bigger. my arm is completley swollen and today is 4 days later. hopefully the swelling starts going down now. few blisters look a little smaller but im still covered in them. a ton of color came out thank god so i will wait n see the next weeks ahead... this whole thing is sooo mentally draining as many of you know because we just want it off but i guess we should be thankful for this laser... it is def worth doing but anyone looking to remove a tattoo make sure you use the picosure because the other lasers dont work!!!!!!! i live in nj so if anyone needs any info let me know!!! my doctor and his staff are great!!! here are some pics before n after
