My Tattoo Story...Getting Them and Regretting Them. _ Nashville, TN

Well I had my second treatment 3 days ago... This time it reacted more to the laser and clouded up which made me a little more excited. It was still super painful but It didn't do that the first time so Hopefully it's reacting to the laser more and more! Now it has just been red and sore! I've been applyin my a and d ointment multiple times throughout the day. Still no big difference but I guess that's part of it... It's a slow slow slow process which gets me down a lot. Knowing I'll have to wait maybe two years before it's completely gone is hard! But recently I've met someone and they have been super supportive of my decision and not judgemental at all which made telling someone about it a lot easier! I'm very thankful to have found someone like him...he even went to my treatment with me and held my hand through it all lol. But I'm just continuing to hope for the best and hoping for the best for all of u also! Will post pictures soon! And happy fading to everyone!!!

So I tried out my dermablend leg and body last night and I still need some practice on blending but it actually worked! The sample I got was a little to dark for me but I get much tanner in the summertime so it might be perfect after I tan a little more. My tattoo is raised though and I'm guessing that's mostly from having my treatment five days ago? After applying the dermablend and setting powder I got in the shower to test out the waterproof theory and that was actually true! Nothing can't off with the water just running over it I have to rub my hand on to get anything off and still I had to use makeup remover to actually get it off. So I'm pretty sure swimming won't affect it at all! This gives me a little relief for this summer since I'll be in my bikini a lot and am self conscious of my body now when I never have been before. It's deff a change for me but just gotta stay strong and think of the positives! Hope this updates helps everyone!

Today I'm itching like crazy!!! And my skin is starting to peel as if I had a horrible sunburn.... I'm keeping a and d ointment on it but that only helps so much. It makes me not look forward to the blisters and scanning and more itching! lYesterday me and my friend went and got me some samples of dermablend leg and body and the setting powder since it's suppose to be the number one tattoo cover makeup and waterproof! I'm gonna try it and see if that's true with my samples later so I can be ready for the summer and my beach trip...fingers crossed! Ill post pictures later to show if it covers or not.
