Hey Everyone! I'm SO sorry that I have neglected posting anything on here! I'm horrible for that lol! So I have spent the last year and a half getting my tattoo cover up, going every month first for 8 months and then gave myself a break this summer and now I have one more session in a few weeks and then I'm done woohoo!!!
This was the best decision I have ever made and I'm SO lucky that I found the most amazing tattoo artist that was able and willing to cover my tattoo! I absolutely love how it turned out and it suits me so well! If anyone is thinking of going through this process, please do your research on finding a good laser clinic and a tattoo artist whom is super experienced in cover ups because you don't want to go through the process again! My tattoo artist saw me every 2 months while I was undergoing the laser treatments to go over sketches, placement on my back etc... he was amazing!!!
I have uploaded photos, the first when my cover up was still ongoing and the last two were from the very last session in March. It looks a little dark because these were take right after the session but it has lightened up and healed so nice. I will post final pics when it's healed from the very last session.

It looks so beautiful!!

I just love it! It flows so perfectly on your body and is so feminine. You must get a ton of compliments, what have your friends and family, or just people who've seen it said about your tattoo?

Hi Eva, thank you so much!! yes i do get a lot of compliments. My family had no idea that I was going through this, they even didn't even know i had a tattoo lol! so I was super nervous to show them; but thank goodness they liked it.

Cover Up
tattooregret81November 9, 2015
Here is my cover up so far; I have gone for four sessions and now you can't even see there was another tattoo underneath! My tattoo artist is amazing!! The tattoo also flows down to my left hip which you can't see in the picture. So far I love it so much! It is so beautiful; I'm so happy that I will finally have a tattoo I love! Going through the picosure treatments was the best thing I ever did! When you compare the tattoo I had lasered with this one it looks like a two year old drew it! Definitely do your research before you pick your tattoo artist; I learned the hard way, but I feel good because I know I made the right decision to end up here ;)

WOW, beautiful!! It fits perfectly on your slender back and does not look at all like a cover up. I'm so happy for you!!

Just want to be Sure that a Cover Up Could be an Option.
Sorry for the reply! Thank you, yes I'm super happy with it! The picture is straight after my very last session but it healed wonderful! and no there was no issue with tattooing the lasered skin, just probably a little more sensitive because essentially you are then tattooing on baby skin. The removal process did work well but after doing a TON of research and looking at everyone's reviews on this site I realized that mine would never get fully removed and so that's why I decided on a cover up. I was VERY lucky to find someone who is so amazing at cover ups and was able to cover mine so well. Do keep in mind that the cover up in order for it to work needs to be 4 x the size of the original tattoo. That's why mine is so big; but I love it. I would do your own research and find what you think is best for you. Hope that helps! :)
I Hope i won't Need a Cover up, but it's good to have a Plan b. I still like Tattoos and the Place of the one i'm removing, so it Could Be realy an Option. We'll See:) thank you very much for your reply!:)
