Tattoo Regret - Yet Another Sad Story You've Heard a Million Times - Atlanta, GA

Before treatment no. 24

Just before treatment no. 24. I haven’t updated in a long time, but my treatments have continued. I keep hoping they will get easier, but my tattoo artist used an incredible amount of ink. Lucky me! Because the remaining ink is now so near my nerve endings, per the doc, it’s excruciating. But it IS going disappearing. One day I will look down at my left calf and see nothing but a ghostly white leg - this awful tattoo will be gone.

Seems like we have a similar story! And mine is about 1-2 treatments away from disappearing completely...way to go! I started this process in late 2015, taking a few breaks along the way, but I'm guessing I've had 16-18 treatments using a combo of Picosure and Picoway...

Where did you go to get yours worked on? What kind of laser did they use?

It hurt much worse during the treatment this time, but much less afterward and less swelling. I’m interested to see if there is a lot of bruising tomorrow.
