Tomorrow marks one month since I got my forearm...
$900
Tomorrow marks one month since I got my forearm tattoo. It's been a crazy month of regret, emotions, but also acceptance. In May I'll be starting the process to remove the tattoo I got on my forearm kind of impulsively, kind of not. The idea for the tattoo itself was not impulsive, but I drove a friend to a tattoo parlor and that's where the impulsive decision came in. Either way, I've accepted that this thing won't be easy to get off, but that it is most definitely coming off. I've changed my entire diet and workout routine to boost my immune systems ability to get this off. I start the first week of May with treatments! Luckily I found a very professional clinic offering "treatments until it's gone" for one payment of $900. Thank God because that takes so much of the financial burden of not knowing how many treatments it'll take. But here goes everything :)

Good luck! A month ago I got a tattoo that I regret as well and I'm still thinking whether to start the whole removal process. Because I kind of like it, I'm just scaredwhat other people will think etc :( good luck!

I think if you like you're tattoo, keep it! But ultimately whatever gives you the most peace is the best decision. Don't worry what other people will think, whether you get it removed or not. Either way I'm rooting for you :)

Thanks! Well I think that at some point I might have it lasered off... Just to make peace with my mind, right now I'm going through a mental rollercoaster ;-) but my close ones are really supportive and actually like my tattoo. When it comes to me, well I don't mind it. Guess I didnt get it for the right reasons and now I have to live with it.. Until some time ;-) how is your removal going? I have to tell you that I'm really sceptial about this kind of things but I guess a lot of people had had seen results so I hope for the best for you and for myself in the future! Have your doctor shown you some before and after pictures? Greetings!

Waiting Game
I'm less than a month away from my first treatment! Living with this thing has been one of the most mentally difficult things I've ever gone through. It's weird but initially I didn't even feel like myself. I felt like my arm wasn't my own anymore, and that I ruined my life. But as time has passed I have been able to accept the process, stop living in the past, and just deal with the situation. Anyway I will keep you all updated! 3 weeks! (And 6 days lol)

Hi, I messaged you back through private messages (not sure if it alerts you to that?). Can't wait until you let us know how your first session goes. Seems like you're excited, and rightly so! The first step of the road to removal!

Yeah I got your message. Thank for the encouraging words! I feel like there's a lot of good coming out of this tattoo. Im getting in really good shape lol, I'm learning patience (bc there's no other way around it) and I'm learning to have faith. It's gonna be a fun (but still rough) journey lol.

Same here. I think it was good for me to experience such a blow mentally and be able to recover from it, learning as I went, and still learning. I discovered that I'm stronger than I thought I was and that I'm only human, definitely not perfect.
So I'd like to believe that this is all just another challenge possibly put in our paths for to make us better. Maybe I'm just trying to be a glass-half-full kind of person, haha.
Can't wait to get more updates from you. I can imagine your black ink will react nicely to treatment. Feel free to message me whenever when you're having a bad day and need to vent or have a question or anything. Honestly, I have people here I vent to too sometimes, it's very helpful. :-)

hey please keep me posted... in the same boat, except a black tattoo on my bicep... going to get removed in august. Ive been looking around the internet and can't seem to find any proper results.. people just seem to fade out after a treatment or two. Let me know how it goes I will be following!
What did the doc say by the way? Was he optimistic since it is all black, and looks professional?

Hey! Yeah the doc said he's pretty confident it'll come out. Might take awhile but that it can be cleared. They even gave me the awesome deal of $900 for ulimented removal (which takes a lot of the financial burden off) I'll do my best to keep this review current!

The Process
Today I woke up and started to look up tattoo removal (which has become and almost daily thing) and I said to myself "NO." So I called my mom and we went and got lunch. I've been wearing longsleeve over shirts to cover the tattoo but today I let it show ???? I'm finally coming to a point of forgiving myself and I'm gonna be taking a break from real self for a bit. I will still be posting updates after treatments but I don't want to let this consume me anymore. On a side note, I did something bold and changed my major to something I've wanted to for a long time yesterday! Nursing! Looking forward to the process :D Thank you guys for your support!
