WORTH IT
I love this site, reading all the reviews about the picosure helped me with my decision to try and get this removed. I am concerned with getting rid of the orange and yellow which I've read is hard to remove with the laser. I know the purple and blue will respond really well. I had my first treatment today and we only started on the top part to see how the orange and yellow will respond. The pain was waaaaaaaaay less than what I expected from what I read on this site. Although I did use numbing cream so maybe that was why. I started taking a herbal product called lymphstream to help with the circulation in the lymphatic system so that it will help move the ink through, so hopefully that helps with the removal. Thank you for everyone's posts it is very inspiring and supportive. I will post some pictures after a few days and once it has healed to see how much fading has occurred on the top part.

2 days after first treatment
tattooregret81July 8, 2014
So it's two days after my first treatment and I woke up this morning with pain and swelling. No blisters have formed, but my lower back is really swollen, has anyone experienced this? I'm also really tired, but I think it's just from the initial shock. I have lots of fading in the blue and purple, and actually I think the yellow is also fading. The black lines have not budged, but I'm sure it takes time and more treatments for those. I will post pics once healed to show before and after.

I often feel tired after my treatments. It's usually a mental thing, just seeing what you're putting yourself through. On top of that I suffer with another illness which causes a lot of fatigue so I'm naturally tired all the time anyway. It sounds like your tattoo is fading well though. Do you think you'll post any photos soon? Even if it looks pretty gruesome, it's really helpful for those considering starting removal!

Hi There, yes I'll post photos when it's fully healed so it's easier to see the before and after. I didn't get any blistering just swelling, but I heard the second time is always worse than the first.

My first session was horrible blisters, it was the lowest setting - it looked like I was burned by an iron...but my second was hardly any blisters...you will find that every session is different...or most people do anyways. By the way, I think the cover up turned out really nice, but it's got to fit you. Also check out these links, you may find them helpful :)

Hi Eva,
Thanks for all your support! yes I agree that every treatment is different for everyone; and thanks for saying it's nice, but I don't like it, the yellow is the worst and I don't like the palm trees and the unfinished lotus buds look like roses. I think it just got too big, and yes I agree it has to fit the person.

Day 3
tattooregret81July 9, 2014
Day 3 and the swelling has gone down, I stopped putting polysporin on it this evening. I do see fading in the yellow and orange, but maybe I'll be able to tell better when I see the pictures side by side. Once again, when it's fully healed I will post a before and after pic.
