Kill the Kittens! - Nürnberg, DE

Hey everyone?.
One year ago I was at lunch with my father and his girlfriend and wore my kitten thighs at that day. It has little cat faces above the knee. I said for fun "I wish they were tattooed!" and my father's girlfriend offered me to get them like, immediately! I'm pretty sure she did that to gain me over, and I was taken by surprise and agreed.
So we went to a local tattoo artist with walk-ins and I got tattooed for $350.
I immediately regretted it when i saw how uneven the faces were and how they looked when I bended my knee. That's surely a spot that shouldn't be tattooed or at least with a cool design that works when the skin changes due movement. But we'll, [RS bleep] happened.
It was summer when I removed the plasters and went outside with the tattoos for the very first time.
Everyone was like, staring and pointing on them. Sadly I'm not wrong with that. During the whole summer strangers came to me and criticised my tattoo. Even at a very alternative festival it happened that people, mostly drunk - children and fools tell the truth -, came to me and said "omg, is that tattoed?" -"yes"-"Why would someone do that?!"
I still don't know why I am receiving so much feedback to my tattoo in general. I mean, there are so many people out there with shitty tattoos and usually nobody cares except themselves. But for me it was very tough. My best friend didn't believe me first and I said, ok, let's take the train to Mainstation and I won't wear thighs (I started wearing opaque thighs at that time bc I started to be weary of the comments). After a few minutes in the train a guy across us said out of nowhere to me "I hope that's not tattooed. It's awful! I'm tattoo artist myself."
My friend had to admit that I wasn't exaggerating.

And that is just one little anecdote out of a lot last summer.
First I just didn't like the tattoo but then I began to become really depressed about it. I used to get a lot of compliments (also from strangers!) for my hair or my clothes but now it was spoilt through all the negative statements about my knee tattoos.

I did research on tattoo removal and decided to go for the Picosure.
Since I have very hold, dark outlines that were tattooed many times (the "artist" said they would fade on the knee so he better tattoed it a second time over) I know, that it will take a while.
I'm a bit insecure if it really works because I didn't see many reviews here where a tattoo completely disappeared. It got just light brown or there were no new updates.

My goal is to completely remove them.
I found a tattoo artist in Nürnberg, DE, who takes $350 Dollar for the first laser session and every following session $50 less. At $100 the price stays constant. With 8 weeks between every session that's $50 per month which still hurts but is manageable.
I'm a broke student, so I got myself a job and saved up for the first laser sessions.

So far, I have 3 sessions done, the last one two weeks ago. I didn't take any pictures how they looked in the beginning so my journey will start at this point.

I hope it will work as planned and I can help anyone out there with my review who struggles with the same problem. :)
Thanks for reading!

Hello again :) 4th laser session is done!($250 this time, and summer is coming *cries silently*)
This time it didn't hurt at all. I let the numbing cream on for like two hours and it WORKED! And I have a really painful area, so that's a big deal for me :)
This time I just noticed the smell of burned flesh for the first time, but at least I didn't cry, curse and bit my fist like the last times, haha.

Just ignore the plastic foils, I'll remove them in about one week. They prevent my skin from blistering. It's still a bit itchy but not as much as the times before. Maybe my skin gets used to it.

I'm also thinking about stacking the sessions a bit fewer, with like, 4 or 6 week in between. But I have to discuss that with Sven from Fleur de Lis first.

So far these are the results :)

I usually cover them with Kryolan Camouflage Makeup and wear opaque thighs :)
I have ONE BIG WISH for this summer: I don't want ANY stupid comments for my knees anymore. I'm so tired of it.
For now, I will cover them.
On a long run I try to remove them with the Picosure.

I'm going to save up as much money as I can to afford the best treatment as possible for myself.
My current self has a responsibility for myself in a few years. I'm going to be so proud if I get things straight and solve this problem.
