Tattoo Removal 6 Months After Getting It - Kamloops, BC

WORTH IT$149
I'm 20 years old and got this tattoo done at the end of the summer, not much planning and scheduled it as soon as i could. Immediately after i was a little unhappy because of how dark it was and how high it was on my stomach, the eye looks distorted when i move my body certain ways. and i couldn't even imagine having a gigantic ballooned out eyeball when i decide to have kids. I am only getting a portion of my tattoo lasered, keeping the roses because i can't deny he did a beautiful job, no complaints.. I was feeling anxiety/depression over the other portion and even seeing a little of it gone makes me feel relieved. This is a day after getting my first treatment and i already see noticeable fading. I heard the tattoo looks darker in right after because the pigment rises to the surface, i hope it fades more before i go in for my second treatment. I have a high pain tolerance, i thought getting the tattoo was difficult to get through in one sitting but how laser feels .. it's excruciating. No numbing cream just an ice packet before and after. They give you a stress ball and i held my brothers hand. It feels like someone just took out the grease basket from a mcdonalds deep fryer and poured it on you. the smell was what you'd expect.. burning hair. I almost got a rush from it to be honest and after i felt a little less depressed.. maybe i'm just weird lol. No blistering, only feel a little sunburnt. just wondering what to expect next. My next appointment is March 30th.

I went to SKIN solutions it's located downtown. Awe I'm really sorry to hear that :( maybe give yourself some time to see if you start to like it? I know it's hard getting used to such a huge change at first

Hi there! I'm dealing with an unfortunate peacock feather tattoo as well. But mine has colors too. Can you please update your progress? How are you doing?


Welcome to the community, glad you decided to share your journey with us. I can relate to the pain, you describe it well, it's different for everyone but I could hardly tolerate it. Glad that you had your brothers hand to hold. Feel free to add your input regarding pain in the following forum:
LASER TATTOO REMOVAL: IS IT PAINFUL?
What laser are you being treated with? My tattoo always looked really dark right after treatment, it will change as you heal. Remember to drink lots of water and eat really well - gotta keep that immune system strong. Keep us posted on your progress.
