Beginning Tattoo Removal - Los Angeles, CA

Hi everyone! My name is Michelle and I have 3 tattoos.

My first was on my lower back of a very small ( 1 inch) crescent moon outline. ( i got 13 years ago)
My second was of a 4 by 2 inch fairy on my pelvic Bone ( hidden) ( 11 years ago)
and my last is of 3 tiny ( non outlined) turquoise stars on my left side wrist.. with 5 tiny dots. ( 11 years ago)

I decided to get the crescent moon tattoo removed last year by am EVIL woman who sold me some horrible procedure. Its called TATTOOVANISH ,.. omg .. she basically opend my tattoo up as if she was tattooing me and put a solution that caused the ink to lift and scab.. days later i noticed the skin was raised.. and developed a keloid scar.. the tattoo was slightly faded but now a 3D tattoo. What a %#&( person that would do this to me. I left her the worse yelp review EVER.

So instead of think to do some other laser procedure on the scar a year later.. 2 days ago I decided to get a new tattoo over it. I got some ivy and a better celtic crescnt moon. The tattoo artist was a bit pushy with her ideas. Some i liked some i didnt. Overall I THOUGHT she listened to what i said. But didnt. The tattoo came out to dark, too large, and the crescnt moon shape isnt my fav. The ivy is large but pretty overall. If i got fix anything about it it would be to remove the color from the crescent moon.

So basically after doing research Ive decided to remove the first 2 tattoos i have and possibly in the future remove the crescent moon color and just redo the celtic spirals. Id be happy with it if it wasnt for the color really. The artist dabbled little colored dots of magenta, blue and light blue in order to make it look purple. She explained to me that she can lighten it.. but im afraid of light colors on it because from my understanding they are the most difficult to remove. I think at this point tho.. im so unsure... as if i should lighten it or not.. or just get some laser in future. I also what to share that I think id like this tattoo if it were not colored at all in the crescent .. just celtic spirals. Also.. sucks that i have a horrible memory of the racist tattoo artist. Sorry im not white enough for you to get celtic spirals.. i really liked them.. she made e few comments ( jokes) that made my furious. Sad to have a tattoo memory of someone so stupid. Anyway my tattoo still has to scab and peel off.

THOUGH.. i wish i had no tattoos to be honest. But i can live with the back one. I can live with all but if i can get them removed.. id prefer it.

Ill post pics of all of my tattoos and the progress of their removal. Im looking into Q switch and Picosure. Im studying which colors are best removed with certain lasers and this website explains it nicely... 

My mom was telling me that the wrist one is no big deal.. looks like dots from far but.. i feel like a child wearing stars LOL idk maybe you can tell me what you think. All my friends have tattoos.. somehow i just wish i would have never thought on impulse to get these dumb things. I kinda wish i had nice flawless skin.

My fear of laser removal is having scars vrs tattoos. Its like.. well.. i dont want a white tattoo after paying all this money.
