Hi all!
It's been quite a while since I last updated, things have been super busy. I also kinda tried to stop looking at my tattoo for a while and stop obsessing over trying to spot some fading haha!
Here's some pics (it's seriously not easy to take a pic of your back) of what it looks like around 7 (I think) weeks after my first treatment. There is a teeny tiny bit of fading, but notging drastic. My boyfriend described it as "more grey" than the sense black it was before.
I've booked my next treatment for the 23rd of April before my exams start. I really hope to see more noticeable fading next time!!

Ps so sorry for the seriously bad photography going on. As I said, it's a really inconvenient part of my body lol!

If its any consolation, you are very brave to go through removal! Also, honestly, I completely love this tattoo and may get something similar for myself in the near future. Not that this is very helpful to you....ha When is your next appointment?

I'm pretty much at the same stage as you, and mine is just as dense and while my doctor gave me no illusions it would take take he assured me we should be able to clear it up. I am just looking at 15-20 sessions. Still, I paid for unlimited package which means I basically keep going until it's cleared up. Hopefully, you will have success too.

I'm in EXACTLY the same boat, only add six/seven years of bitter regret. I got a huge black star and a sun on my arm aged 19. I turned 29 this year and I'm still losing sleep and feeling physically sick when I have to buy summer clothes. You're not alone. And you're so much braver than I am for going and dealing with it. Good luck and keep us posted :)
