So, I had a lower back tattoo when I was 16 years old. At first I loved it, then after uni I became more indifferent, to late twenties actively hiding it at work and from boyfriends parents etc.
I have decided to get rid of it in the next couple of years - would be keen to not have it for any future honeymoon or big holidays.
As it's ten years old, the tattoo has faded a fair bit. I have quite pale skin, so tentatively optimistic for the results of laser treatment.
I am spending a bit of time looking for the right clinic in London. Although I don't want to waste money, it is important to be comfortable and confident in the person wielding a laser at your bare skin! Going to give a few clinics a try, I'll keep a track of how I get on. Any recommendations for good London clinics welcome!!!! I'm too wary to try a Groupon for this, although the money saving would be nice, that's for sure.

After Picosure patch test
misshonorsFebruary 17, 2015
Had a patch test with Picosure laser, man it hurt! But it's looking positive (patch test was on top right of tattoo). Minimal redness, bit sore, but layering lots of vaseline and cleaning the area seems to be going alright.
Thinking I will continue with Picosure, worth the cost if it works, and worth a minute or two of pain!!

Your tattoo is old and faded, it will be gone in no time with the Pico, the patch test is really productive and seems to be doing the job! Good luck!

Following first PicoSure laser treatment
misshonorsFebruary 19, 2015
Had my first session with the PicoSure laser today. With the Emla 5% numbing cream applied a couple hours before, it was absolutely fine. Fingers crossed the fade will be as good as the patch test. Feeling a bit disappointed the ink hasn't reduced as much on the coloured in parts, but I guess this is a long process.
This is a couple of hours after the laser session. I need patience!
It's feeling a tad hot and itchy, going to keep the dressing on for a bit longer.
