24 hours after 2nd session.
Wow, this session was more intense.
I had a different person this time working on me. She talked me through on how they are going to increase the settings to push for a better result. She came across fully professional and I felt I was in good hands.
The session it self was much more intense because of the change in settings.
This time they went over the tattoo twice instead of the once over last time.
My tattoos like last time feel a little sore, very swollen and I've got a couple small looking blisters which I hope don't get bigger over the course of the day.
Overall I was very happy how the session was conducted.
Last hope we see some results this time.

Really happy your place is professional. Some people accidentally end up in crappy places that don't do a very good job. Sounds like you're in good hands.
Can't wait to see if there's any fading after this session. :-)

Thank you !
Thankfully it is a clean and professional place.
I hope I get good results like yourself.
I can't even imagine the pain you must go through each session as my tattoos are tiny compared to yours.

Haha yeah it's a bit like torture especially since he has to work his was around my hummingbird that I'm keeping, so it takes a little longer. Luckily we use an ice pack to numb the area before the session so that helps a little bit!
Although I'm sure getting lasered on the delicate skin of your wrists isn't that fantastic either!

Going for my 2nd session tomorrow.
It's been about 6 weeks since my first session and I was lucky enough to get another one tomorrow.
If I'm honest, I really don't see much difference since I had my first session.
The tattoos look just as dark and I really see no fading except one tiny part on a corner point.
Hopefully the next session will properly kick start everything in motion.
Wish me luck !

Going every 6 weeks is kind of fast it's better in most cases to go every 8-12 to let the skin heal more an for more ink to fade out. As they raise the laser settings the longer u want to wait. Waiting helps prevent scarring an hyper an hypo pigmentation. I feel your pain though I'm 5 sessions in its a longggggg process. Best of luck

Thanks for the advice!
I'm going to do just what you said. I'm going to give it at the least 8 weeks to heal/recover because my skin felt like it took a big hit this time.
Like you said it's a long process. I've had these tattoos for 15 years, what's waiting a few more extra weeks to heal?
Looks like you are at war with your journey! Since I've been following your story I can see you're winning with some great results !

I'm getting some good results but still a lot of ink left but thank u my friend. Ya waiting a couple extra weeks does make a difference especially as the settings get higher. Your technican will most likely guide u through the process. Your tattoo should b off hopefully soon

1st session done
I've just completed my first session of laser removal.
The studio was super clean and the staff were very nice and helpful.
I was explained what was to expect and possible complications. All questions I had were answered.
I put on Emla numbing cream 40 minutes prior to the session.
I found the pain more than bearable, maybe due to the cream but still it was more than fine to move at a pace that I found comfortable.
The pain it self was perfectly described by others on here as someone firing an elastic band at the tattoo at great speed.
I've had no bleeding, blistering or scabbing so far.
The worst part which was 10x more painful than the session it self was taking off the dressing and the tape pulling my arm hairs out...OUCH !
I hope to go back in 6 weeks time for session 2.
The pics posted were taken around 24 hours after the session.
I'll update them in 2 weeks time.

Congrats on getting started, glad you found the pain bearable, maybe shave your arm hair before you next session.
Keep us posted.
Good to hear! I look forward to hearing about your results. ☺
