Successful Tattoo Removal of a Large Chest Piece and a Shoulder Tattoo Using Picosure Laser

In the past 9 months since my last update, I had two additional "picosure boost plus red" treatments. The extra wand that is used w picosure to target the red ink sure does work wonders. It annihilated my red ink that was left over on the flowers during this time. And it hurts significantly less! Overall the skin texture is returning to norm on its own. It also continues to fade. I made a decision to eventually have the stubborn white ink that turned black/green surgically removed in the next 2 years or so. Regardless of that setback, I am still pleased with the results. It blows my mind to look at the original photos and see how well the laser worked on me.

This may seem trivial to some, but seeing clear skin on pix and when I get ready for a night out is giving me butterflies.... looking at older pix and seeing how black and ridiculous the tattoo looked on me is making me physically sick.... I was such a poptart for willingly getting tatted at 18 , especially in such a spot!! If I could go back ten years ago, I would slap myself in the face and run out of that tattoo studio! For any young women out there thinking getting tattoos is body art and ur ooo so unique and artsy fartsy, and this tattoo is oooo sooo meaningful and u will love it forever- save urself the headache and money and just go to Michaels and get some arts and crafts, paint a painting, do a fun project, learn how to cook, join a gym, work out, read a book, travel, advance ur career, fall in love..... anything else just DO NOT GET INKED!!!! I wish I had someone back then to stop me and talk some sense into me..... Ten years and $6, 000+ later, now ruined skin- I learned my lesson. Ur skin and you are beautiful just the way u are, no need for any modifications!!!!!!! One member on here said that the foreign tattoo was intruding on her body, her energy, and her destiny.... that's absolutely beautifully put. I'm ready to reclaim my skin and move on from this self inflicted nightmare.

I'm baaaaaaaaack! I took a much needed break from this site bc being on here too often can make one go nuts lol if u sent me a pm, I didn't get it because I closed the account. So say hello again, since I'm here to update some decent results! It's been six months after my last pico and I am happy to report that after extensive tanning and hanging out on the beach, my chest tattoo faded amazingly! The spiderweb is non recognizable. The script still has some ink leftover which makes it look like bad veins peeking through. Overall, I feel the picosure laser has successfully removed my awful ink. The problem is now with the oxidized white ink that turned black. That is still a huge issue and an eye sore. In real life it is very unsightly. I intend on going back to laser the remaining ink and the oxidized ink in the fall/winter. In the real life my skin from the tattoo is far from perfect in some spots. Now that the excess ink is gone, I can see raised areas from the tattoo needle being passed several times over my skin. All I can do is continue to move forward, and hopefully my skin will keep on improving its texture as well as its look. I would like to move this review to under 'tattoo removal' instead of the picosure section of real self so it's easier to access.
