WORTH IT
Hi guys,
I'm a 30 year old girl from Hamburg, Germany. I just would like to share my story with you.
This year, in May, I decided to get a big and coloured realistic rose on my inner arm. Once I got it I went home, put off the plastic and washed rest of the colour off. From that point on I just realized that this was the biggest mistake I've ever made in my entire life! I just started to panic cause I knew that this won't get off anymore. The next days were a total nightmare. I wasn't able to sleep and all I could think about is how I could remove this [RS bleep] as fast and as soon as possible.
I found a clinic here in Hamburg, the Kosmed Klinik. They have the newest and best laser in town, the Picosure Laser. He told me that I had to wait at least 5-6 months due to the risk of scarring. The doctor just told me that we could start with the black shadings across the coloured rose. I agreed and we made an appointment for October this year.
The first treatment for the shadings wasn't that painful as I expected. Right after the treatment I saw some parts of the shadings which were already completely gone! The day after the tattoo started to blister which last for about 4 days. After the healing process the black colour (shadings) was completey gone.
Than I just looked myself in the mirror and thought: I still don't like it, but I don't even want to go through the whole laser process again and again for the rest of the rose.
And right now, I just did a much bigger mistake: I decided to put some leaves on the rose, cause the rose looked kinda lost on my arm. I thought that with the leaves, it would decentralize the whole thing and let it look "softer". So I just went to a Tattoo Studio and made an appointment for the leaves.
So last week, on monday, I went to the Studio and we just spoke about the way I would love the leaves would look like. The tattoo artist just seemed a bit lost and actually I should have stopped from that point on but I though: well, he knows what he does cause all the pictures I saw from him were more than impressive. He must have had a bad day I guess. However, during the ink process I just though: hmm.. what is he doing? Well, just let him finish the leaves, don't be so unpatient, you have to wait until the end. But once he was done it didn't look better.. The lines of the leaves are really fucked off!!!
I definitely wont live with this kind of tattoo directly on my arm but now I have to wait again for 6 months until I can start with the laser again. And what also really makes me angry is that this time there are no shadings but lines and this means that this will be a very long process.
I really hate myself for what I did, especially because I just did a mistake before.
What do you think: how fast can the leaves be removed?

Hi there. I honestly think that tattoo is stunning. The only bit that's a bit [RS bleep] are the leaves.but the Rose itself is beautiful.
But everyone has their own tastes so I can understand that even though other people like it, doesn't mean you do.
The leaves will be super easy to remove. It's just black ink, one of the easiest colours to remove.
The rose might be harder if it has white ink in there.
I've been told by a clinic here in London, that white ink oxidises and goes darker.
I don't mean to worry you but that's what I've been told. I have a similar situation. One of my tattoos has light flowers on it, and they can't be removed because of the white ink.
Let us know your progress. I reckon if you already get the leaves removed it will look better. Then with time the flower should fade more.
I'll say it again, it's a beautiful rose.
Good luck.

Hi NoDrama,
thank you for your answer. Yes the rose is nice but the leaves look kind of [RS bleep]! I think I could live with the rose on my arm but not with the leaves on it. I just saw a review from a guy who tried to remove black ink from his arm with a picosure laser and it took 12 sessions!!! I mean, that's not what picosure stands for actually. I always got told that with that kind of laser the sessions can be reduced to the minimum, but 12 sessions are a lot. I know that every body reacts different but this review made me worry.
Would you recommend me to remove the leaves with a picosure or rather with a Ndyag Laser?
Greetings from Hamburg!

Need urgent advice from a doctor!

Hello,
how old needs to be the tattoo to start the removal process with picosure? My doctor told me that the tattoo needs to be at least 6 months old but I can't wait that long!!!

Hi there, here are some FAQ's that speak to your question:
How Long Before New Tattoo Can Be Removed?
How Soon After a "New" Tattoo Can You Start Laser Removal?
In my case, I was told 6 weeks before I could start the removal process and that's what I did. I hope this helps.

Hi there,
I just read some articles of a guy named Alec Falkenham. He is a PHD student based in Canada and he just developed this kind of creme. Please follow the link: http://bltr-cream.com/
What do you think about it? The way the cream works sounds actually logical.. Is it worth it?
I'm happy about your comments.

that website isn't his. hes planning to make his product legit by taking it to clinical trials and being administered through prescription only.

That is a scam site. They are selling a fake product. The distribution address is fake and the doctor listed in the website is fake. The real cream won't come out until 2020 or later. The bltrcream website scamed me and I'm in the process of shutting down their pay pal.
