Instant Regret!

Well, after a break of almost 2 years, I decided I wanted to cash out on the two laser sessions I had left. I paid for a total of 6 at Ideal Image. Today was session #5. To be completely honest, I am so used to the tat by now that I think I might keep it. I mean, it doesn't bother me anymore, not the way it used to anyways. But I am taking advantage of what I paid for already. I am going to be uploading two new pictures, one before tx and one after. When you compare the pictures to the very first one, you can see it has faded a bit, I know I shoulnd't be disappointed after all it was a brand new tat when I started laser removal, and I read enough articles to know that it new tat are harder to remove. I will post pictures of my progress as it heals and the next (and final session) which should be sometime in Aug.

I had my 4th laser session with PicoSure on Nov 1st. I let over two month passed between my last Tx and this one. There's no improvement or difference. Every time I go, they are increasing the energy, every time it hurts a little more. This time it did itch more than before, for about a week. But no blisters. I haven't had blisters yet with any of my Tx, not sure if that's a good thing or not when it comes to helping in the fading, but as far as dealing with scabs and all that, I guess is a very good thing. I still have 2 more Tx left and after that I don't think I am going to continue. By then I have completed over 15 Tx (taking into account that my first sessions with another laser, where double passes). I can't say I see great improvement. Yes, it has lighten up a little bit. Maybe the ink used was a strong one, and he went deeper than normal, after all he is a very skilled and experienced tattoo artist. The truth of the matter is, I am used to the tattoo by now. I still don't like it-completely- but it has become part of me.
But will see how it goes with this session and the remaining two. My next appt is in 2015, I will keep you posted with the progress or lack of.
