My mom's cat of 21 years died, made a regretful decision to get a tattoo of a black cat on my wrist....I was told to wait until 2 months for it to heal before removal, I wanted it gone the next day :( Called in June, apt was for July 12, had to reschedule it until July 26th. Staff gave me estimate after I emailed them measurements, pics, color of ink,etc. This is NJ/Pa, so prices are usually higher for anything around here than the rest of the country, I was quoted 331 a session, may need only 2 but prepare for 3. First session, painful, hurt more than tattoo itself. I read this site inside and out but nothing prepared me for the smell of my own burning flesh. Stunk! Wore black eye protection, took less than 5 mins. Saw a noticeable difference before I walked out. Next session is Sept 6, tomorrow. Hoping it goes as well. Will update again.

Good afternoon, I had my second picosure treatment today. She looked at my wrist and said it was doing well and was noticeably faded a lot. I intended in taking a video of the procedure but my daughter gor called into work and I had no free hands to hold my phone. I was holding the freeze wand on the tattoo as she lasered it, this cuts the pain of the laser in half I woukd say. I need at least one more treatment for sure, maybe a 4th. Marina is who does my treatment and I highly recommend her, highly professional, yet friendly andakes you feel you've known her hour while life and talks you through it. So far, no blistering this time but I think she said she wasn't doing the laser as strong since it's my wrist and delicate area. We don't want any scarring. I just took the bandage off and so this picture is about 3 hours post 2nd treatment. Booked my 3rd treatment for October 28th. I will update as the weeks go by this time at different stages of healing. Oh and one more thing, the office told me about a package plan that I could get that cut off 75.00 per session if I paid for it up front. So, each session is now only like 250.00 each vs 331.00. I like saving money and was pleased to learn this. Until later....
