I hate my self so much and think my life i partly ruined :( :(

I had have this tattoo fore two day and haven't liked it at all. Its is beautiful but not fore me. Its my first tattoo.

Its way too visible.

My biggest fear is, that it can go away. I have spoken to a Picosure place, and sent him pictures. He says that it can be removed and that it will take about 6 sessions. After that, its free if more is needed.
He has all the new machines, including 532nm.

Please tell me, that it is possible that this tattoo can be removed? Its is located on me inner forearm.

Oh wow...that tattoo is so gorgeous. I'd have you transfer it to my arm if you could! hahah. Tattoos can be removed...it just takes time. You have had the tattoo for such a short time....maybe try to get used to it?

As you said....it is gorgeous, excellent quality, and so vibrant and beautiful. Think about it?

Tanks for your comment. It's nice talking about it. I fell so ashamed, wanting to get it removed.

In cases I have to wait 8 weeks from know anyway, but I don't think I will keep it.

All of you; Please tell me that it is ware (spelling?), that the ink used can't be removed? They used Eternal Intenze Ink.

Welcome to the community, what a beautiful tattoo, sorry you're feeling so distressed about it, I have been there and fully understand-- I'm with Sittan, give yourself some time and you may feel differently. The Pico laser is efficient on difficult-to-remove colors such as blue, and there is also a new boost attachment you should ask about.  Here is some information you may find helpful:

Thanks for the reply :)
I was a bit down, when i wrote the first. Felling better now.
As for now I want it away. But if I change my mind within the 8 weeks before I can start, Then I'll keep it.

The place has just had a man from Picosure adjusting the machines, so I think It's updatet :)
In Denmark there is only one place to go and the really souned nice and competent.

The pris is fixed at 12.000kr, after that the sessions are free.

Tanks again - and sorry for my spelling ;)

Lol I was I. The same shoes as you man, that's a. Bad ass tattoo bro. Picosure will def do a lot on that tattoo, there's a lot of color shading I seen picosure take blue away in 1 or 2 sessions
August 30, 2015
Thanks :)
As I understand it, if I just do enough it Will go away? If not in 6 sesions, than perhaps in 12?
The clinic offers a set price, so after playing for 6 times, it Will be free :)
August 30, 2015
Haha, my phone dosen't make my english any better. So sorry for all the mistakes and autocorrects ;)

Hi! I'm very interested in your journey as mine is approximately the same size and has the same shades of blue. It looks like you've made so much progress in such little time! I'm curious as to many how many you're expected to get before complete removal?
August 18, 2016
They say 6 times, but I think it will need more :) But after the first 6 times, its free, so that is nice to know.

Yes, it can- but it takes time & a lot of money.
August 31, 2015
Tank you:)
I don't mind the money or the time - I just really miss my skin.

The clinic has priced it at 1800 dollars (6times). After that it is free, if some ink is still there.

Wow! That's a lot, BUT, you'll be going back to what you want. I completely understand, I'm actually in the middle of some tattoo removal myself. I wish you all the luck and get the results you deserve :)
September 1, 2015
Thank you. I really fear that it isn't possible. But perhaps I just need to get the treatments enough times.

I Denmark every ting is pricey, so that price seems fair enough :)
(I'am a student, I get free university and get payed every month to study. I don't complain ;) )

UPDATED FROM LupusH

The healing (from being tattooed). Before any treatments.

LupusH
I think its healing pretty nicely. Some areas has scabs, I'm a little worried that the ink is deep in those places.
As the peeling began, my skin started showing up in the octopus. Even some of the black lines are transparent. I think its due to the watercolor effect.
Hope this makes the removal possible :)

Feeling a lot better. Feeling a bit like at complete idiot; first for getting it, than for wanting it removed and last for making a little ink such a big deal.
But I have a felling that those mixed feelings will continue.

Also, if any of you think I sound a big dramatic, if can add that I suffer from anxiety.

As someone who has been getting tattooed (and even a few removed to be retattood) for years, my advice is to give yourself some time. A tattoo is a huge change to your body. It takes time to get used to. Your brain needs time to adjust to it. Before panicking, give it some time; you may love it and remember the reasons you got it in no time at all.

Then you can decide if and when you want to remove it. Blues will be blown away by the Pico. The reds might be trouble.

It is just ink.
August 31, 2015
I will. 8 weeks :)

Reeds are okay I think, with the new 532nm.
August 31, 2015
Reeds= Reds ;)
