Regretting a Large Tattoo

Six treatments done

WORTH IT$3,000
It's been a while since my last treatment. I've noticed that the fading continues for over two months! I'm scheduled for my next appointment July 8th. My last one was end of March, so it really has been a while! The last treatment I had my first REAL blisters. It was pretty gross, but the results were amazing. I'm afraid to have her turn up the lasers again. Maybe I'll just keep the same settings....

wow! awesome results, even on the red. So encouraging :-) I very strongly agree with your decision to wait longer between sessions. I did so unintentionally and noticed the bulk of fading happening a couple months after the treatment. Your story seems to be the same. Please keep posting. Cant wait to see the end result.
Wow, amazing results, so glad you shared! Good luck on your next session. 
Holy crap! The results from the last treatment are stunning!!
haha WillG, I was going to write the same thing- all I could think was- Holy crap!!!! Amazing results- congratulations and thanks for sharing your progress. it is so inspirational!

5 treatments done!

OK, I've been slacking. I had my 5th treatment on Tuesday, and boy was it rough. She introduced the Medlite on treatment number 4 for the red and dark purple. She's been hitting the purple with both lasers, and the Medlite really takes out the red. I had some decent blistering this time, so I hope it fades even more! I haven't had a lot of blistering until now, but I have seen fading every time. We're going 8 weeks between treatments now, because I see more fading in between that way. I'm excited to get my remaining 3 flowers finished, so I'm going to set up an appointment with a couple tattoo artists to get some ideas flowing. So excited to see it finished! I know I still have several treatments to go. It's hard to be patient, but it will be worth it.

Really good fading :) are you going for full removal or lighten to cover?
I would like full removal, but I'll see how it goes. I'm keeping the top three flowers, so I will have to get that part finished when the rest is removed. My laser technician is optimistic for full removal. I've only had 5 treatments, so I need to be patient!
Oh that's cool -I was actually wondering about the top flowers. I actually think the whole tattoo is nice. Hope everything works out for you, and if yo have to get a cover up that is cool to. I know for me, I will have to - so I am planning it out...not sure when I will start, I may have another treatment - such a long process :)
Any recent updates or are we still only at 5 treatments. I'm thinking to get mine removed
I'm still at 5 treatments. Next one is in March. I'll post a pic just before that treatment after it fades more.
Ok cool beans thanks
How many of your 5 treatments have been just picosure and how many have been medlite/picosure combination?
First 3 with just Picosure, 4th and 5th with both lasers.
Amazing prgress! If you don't mind me asking.. how old was your tattoo?
Only a couple months
Hey there, just checking in to see how you are making out, any update for us?

Second treatment done!

I had my second treatment last week. She was impressed with how well I healed, so she really turned up the laser this time. It definitely hurt worse, even with numbing cream. I still barely blistered. Just like last time, it was slightly sore for a couple days after, and then back to normal.
I'm getting used to having all this ink, now. I've decided to keep the top three flowers, and just get rid of the red one and the giant purple one. I will still need to have it finished, which will have to wait until after the laser treatments. I'm very impatient, so it's hard to wait!
