Instant Tattoo Regret - Colleyville, TX

So at the beginning of February 2013, I booked with a well known tattoo artist for a day of the dead tattoo. He was here for a tattoo convention. I told him that I didn't want a lot of black and it to be very colorful. He assured me that he would make it awesome. Well he laid me down to where I couldn't view the tattoo. Half way through, I saw the amount of black used and freaked out. Thinking i could deal with it, I asked him if the eyes would stand out. He assured me as soon as I healed they would. He finished the entire tattoo in an hour and 45 minutes.

Now that I reflect on the day, I should have walked away. He was behind on his tattoos. He complained of a hangover. Lots of red flags. His next tattoo appointment walked up even before we started. I know that I am to blame in this. I had this gut feeling to just walk away.

The next day, I knew that she would have to be removed. I started to call around and do some research. I found a clinic somewhat local to me that did the R20 method. I booked a free consultation. I met with them about a month after getting the tattoo.

They did two of the three treatment the first day. I started to blister pretty bad after the second and the tech was afraid that I might scar. The unlimited treatments with the company is $1000 or $280 per treatment. They estimated that it would take 10 total treatments. After the first treatment, they recommended single passes with the laser to ensure no scarring. The picture is from the second visit with them. I wish I had taken a picture of the tattoo before the treatments began. I see that it was already more dull after the first treatment. Hoping that once this is healed, more evidence of her leaving me is apparent.
