WORTH IT$300
Had another session last week.
I’m staring to consider over up options, probably after one or two more treatments. I don’t want the cover up to be gigantic, so Im planning on getting something about the same size and then will proceed to laser any parts of the old tattoo showing through. I spoke with the doc at my laser place and he said that would be no problem.

Treatment 15 healed
I’m totally healed from my fifteenth treatment.
I was hoping to be done by now. I could get it covered up, but i don’t want the coverup to be huge so I’m going to do a few more treatments to get it a bit lighter.
Looking at the comparisons I see how far I have come & think I’m almost done.

It was actually white ink that turned blue. He is now treating it with the laser setting for blue.

Hey! Just read your whole journey and wow the tattoo has faded a lot, it looks so good already! I didn't think a tattoo that was so colorful and pigmented would get such great results. Thanks for sharing your journey and I'm glad you feel much better about it. I recommend dermablend and the kat von d lock it foundation to cover up anything that's left if you can't go for more treatments. I use those daily to cover up a wrist and finger tattoo for work :)

Why she cant go for more treatments? There is a final point when you cant do more treatments? If there is, why? Please explain me.

I have no idea. I only said some options for her if she couldn't go to more treatments (for whatever reasons). They are expensive, painful, and it takes a long time to heal between treatments. A lot of people give up and don't go through with more treatments. I only said the makeup cover-up options because she talked about getting a cover-up tattoo. Maybe she only wants to get a cover-up tattoo because she doesn't like how her skin looks where they lasered off the old tattoo and I think tattoo makeup would be better than getting another big tattoo that she might regret again.

Haven’t been great at updating as I’m not as obsessive over my unwanted tattoo anymore. I wear tanks and tees freely now without even thinking about it. I don’t feel embarrassed on the rare occasion someone asks me about it, I just explain I’m getting it removed because I didn’t like it.
My doctor said I could wait 3 months between treatments at this point, but minimum is 8 weeks for healing. My partner and I want to start a family next year, though, so I am going to go religiously every 8 weeks so I can fit in as many treatments as possible before pregnancy.
Once this heals up I’ll post comparison pics from before, 5 tx, 10 tx & 15tx.
