French Tattoo Removal

Hello everybody, firstly, I’m so sorry for my approximate English ... But I realy wanted to share with you my experience in tattoo removal, because this site helped me so much in my efforts. I am 25 years old and I made 8 black tattoos between my 18 and 20 years old. More or less big, I regret today all of them, and some became a real problem for my work.
One year ago, I had a serious rejection of my tattoos, and I wanted snatch my tattoos with my nails! I started inform about the laser technics and I discovered this site that cheered me up! It’s great to see I’m not alone and there’s solutions.

I live in France, in Marseille, and I first meet private dermatologists' offices. Their price are different, and often really expensive. Firstly, I decided remove 3 tattoo and a part of a 4. The différent prices that have been proposed to me : 400(picosure), 380, 350 (picosure), 300, 250, 200 and my treatment price : 150 !! The doctor who practice picosure in Lyon explained to me precious information. He said picosure was no miracle and his price is twice more than Q-Swhitch (more the travel’s price Marseille to Lyon) ; and the Q-Switch would be suffisant for my tattoos. If I choise Picosure, I will probably have 2 or 3 sessions less.
Then, I decided to make an appointment at the Conception public hospital in Marseille. This is where I realize my tattoo removed, because the price was verry interessant and there’s so professional, and the fact that it is in clinic really reinforced me in my decision. So I started in october 2017, one sessions every two months, so I did 5 sessions. I realize that if I leave more than 2 month between 2 sessions, the tattoo fades even more. So I take a break of 3 months and I will have my next session in October, to do so 10 sessions before the summer of 2019.
Today, I’m satisfied enough, I think I will have no scar, except in a part of my arm. Regarding the rose, the laser is not powerful enough to keep going (it increases the intensity at each session), but I think the laser will again effect possibly after 8th session. Q-switch isn’t painful, the session are tolearable, but I know all people are different….
I wanted to share with you my experience, because it's so good, even if it's a very long journey, the morale goes back after each laser session. Also I think I will undertake laser for an other tattoo, in my foot ! But I think there is much difficult because it’s a part who is susceptive, and the tattoo is much expanded (so session will be more expansive…).

Je tenais juste à dire une dernière chose : vous n’êtes pas seul, ce site m’a beaucoup aidé à m’en rendre compte, et aujourd’hui je suis contente d’avoir entrepris le détatouage, je me sens mieux, c’est un long parcours, mais qui fait beaucoup de bien au moral !
