PicoSure ankle tattoo removal

I am finally getting this butterfly off my ankle! It's 4 years old and less than 3 months after getting it I decided I hated it. A huge, impulsive, not-well-thought-out, mistake. Doing research on laser removal I learned that this tattoo would be extremely difficult to get out (with the traditional lasers) because it's bright blue and dark black, and is on my ankle where there is less blood flow. I came to the conclusion that PicoSure was my only chance. It's less than 72 hours after my first treatment, and I don't have unreasonable expectations, so I'm not surprised it's a scabby mess! I do feel like I can really see some clearance in some places (but not in others).

Still lotttss of healing to be done, but there is noticeable clearance in several areas! This is amazing because I've read with the traditional lasers, 2-4 treatments is required before you can even see a difference!
I am a little worried though, it appears to be extremely harsh on the skin. I had a blister leaking fluid for a week (which they told me was normal), and although that has gone away, the skin does not look much better. Still super RED and blotchy, BUT NO SCAB YET? Weird. Again, it seems to be very, very harsh on the skin, leading me to think even when the ink is gone there will be a scar there...
i had already mentally prepared for this, deciding I hated my tattoo more than I would a scar. ugh..long process.

Exactly 3 weeks after my first treatment and it's about 90% healed, but i'm a little depressed because it's still totttallyyy there- still so black.
