Hello everyone, i know it's been a while since any new updates on my removal process, just been real busy and still pretty depressed because of all the tattoos I'm having to remove. Can't believe it's already been a year since I first started this dreadful journey filled w pain and regret. I was hoping that w 6 sessions this particular tattoo would be faded enough to get a cover up, but w now 7 sessions and possibly two or more to go, my hopes are constantly being let down. I know I've made a good process from where I started but just not enough of what I hoped for. But I'm not looking to give up yet, although I have many more months to go w this tattoo and another three tattoos, I will still keep hanging on until my body is the way it's supposed to feel right for me. That's what it's all about, so to everyone else going through this, don't give up!

do you have any ideas for your cover up? You're right, the important thing is to keep going. People have had amazing results with PicoSure, it just takes a very long time. I have a massive dense tattoo on my leg and was told it would be gone in 8 treatments. A year ago Picosure was still new and clinics were making promises which were based on Cynosure's promotional materials, I think a lot of people were given very inaccurate estimates. Is your clinic giving you a discount on further treatment?

they give me a pretty fair price as far as the number of tattoos in removing, but the sessions are going far longer than what they said so I have been thinking of speaking to them about that actually, so thanks for the advice :)

Hello once again fellow tattoo removal friends, it's been a while since I've done any update on here but it's finally been my 3rd session w the picosure and I'm so glad to say that the results are going very well. It's always hard because you really don't want to see any fading, you just want the damn thing completely gone!! I want to be able to wear short sleeve shirts or bathing suits it's really so hard and it really gets me so down but I have to keep being optimistic and hopefully I will only need two more sessions on this set of tattoos and I'll be done w one chapter of my tattoo removal.

So 2 weeks later and finally no more pain and barely any peeling left, just a bit of itching every now and then. Still not completely healed but it's getting there. As far as fading goes, I would say that there's some fading but I thought it would honestly be a lot more noticeable as how it looked when it was still bruised. Now that it's almost all peeled it's really not that much but let's see as time passes a bit more cause they say that the tattoo continues to fade as it heals during the two months. Nonetheless I'm still happy w the results and staying positive that it's almost completely gone. *fingers crossed*

It's just amazing on purple, I had purple in my tattoo but no access to the Picosure, but had I had one close enough I would have tried it. Thanks for keeping us updated, looking great!!
