I am currently in the process of removing a large tattoo that I got on my stomach/pelvis right after my 18th birthday. The tattoo is now 10 years old and it's time to move on. This procedure will be very expensive when I'm through with it, but I hope it will be worth it to enjoy my 30's in a bathing suit without feeling embarrassed by this giant tattoo. I am sharing my experience because I have found this website to be very helpful in making decisions in regards to my own body. I hope my experience is informative/helpful to others.

First of all, kudos for staying the same size (if not smaller!) throughout the years! Second, I can't believe all of that blue disappeared after one treatment. Do you know what kind of laser was used? I unfortunately got a lot of blue and green in my tattoos and they're taking forever to fade. Your tattoo will fade before you know it. Keep taking pictures so when you're down you can look at all the progress. Good luck!

Yes Dr. Groff is using PicoSure / PicoWay lasers. Thanks for commenting!
