I had my flame tattoo done as a stretch mark cover up in 2008. Three children and one tummy tuck later my flames are died out and it no longer serves its purpose (as a cover up). Most of it was cut away after surgery so I decided to rid the rest instead of go through all that pain of tattooing again. The pain was completely unbearable for 5 minutes but not as bad as getting pricked for hours it took to put the ink there in the first place!

Here are my pics after my PicoSure Laser Tattoo Removal treatment.

Enjoy!

I don't notice any blistering compared to photos I've seen right after treatment, so I'm thankful for that. I will be updating this review bi-weekly and receiving my second PicoSure treatment on 3/27. Be back soon :)

Keep me posted! I had tattoo removal 11 years ago on arm but now needing one I had around belly button. Just had full tt so mine is halfway cut off too. I remember the pain but it's been a long time plus they game me lidocaine shots back then. The ps office I go to doesn't offer numbing so I don't think I want to go there! My stomach is still numb since I'm only 7 weeks out but I pulled a bandaid off and felt that so I'm not so sure of tattoo removal w no numbing even now. How was the pain? I'm sure they've improved a lot but I don't tolerate pain well and mine is pretty good sized also!

Wishing you a speedy recovery**
It took a year for sensation to come back in my stomach, so I'm surprised when you say you felt when you pulles your bandaid off. In that case then yes you might want numbing cream this time, too! For five minutes it was excrutiating and numbing cream was offered literally after they were done "torturing" me lol. The results are well worth the pain for me

Hi Tt mamma, I would love for you to start a review and share your tattoo removal experience with us. ☺

*typo I meant numbing shots :p

I'm only really still numb right at incision line and under the belly button area. I thought it was more numb than it was until I started to take bandaid off

I would love to see your finished results once everything has healed. I am currently undergoing picosure removal of a large colorful tattoo in the same location

Wow, looks like you are going to have incredible results, I can't wait to see once it's all healed. Did it hurt on your tummy? I wonder if the laser will fade the TT scar?

You're right - I noticed the laser to have lightened my tt and bb scars within the hours I had it done. I only need one more session of the PicoSure for the blue according to my technician. She will be able to just fade the red with PicoSure but not 100% since its not as effective on red as it is blue. I will be sure to ask if they carry the PicoWay laser since it works on red, but now I will ask about the one you've mentioned as well.

My next treatment is on March 27th - updating bi-weekly in the meantime

Thanks for your reply. ☺

Here is some information on the PicoSure Boost for reference: How will the PicoSure’s PressureWave (Boost) help with tattoo removal?

 I look forward to your updates.

Oh, I also meant to ask you — does the clinic you go to use the PicoSure boost on the red ink? If so, can you snap a photo of it next time and share? Or, if possible a quick video?
