Well this tattoo has a good message but it's too visible and I can see myself down the road regretting it so why not start now asap!! Due the bad quality of the tattoo and very thin ink I hope this tattoo goes in 3 treatments or less but the doctor said 15 plus let's see. Here is the test zap results.

Day of treatment
It's been 15hrs after my test zap.
The swelling went away and there is already some fading. What does this mean because this week I will come back for my first procedure and will request to put the laser at a higher setting, also maybe by my third I'll request picosure even tho I'm a skin type 5. What are your take?

PicoSure actually works by breaking down the pigment into such small particles that your body is able to reabsorb it into itself. That is why it takes up to two weeks to see the final result from each session. I have never had it for tattoo removal, but I have had it twice for age spot removal. My dermatologist says it works the same for either treatment. Tattoo removal needs many more sessions typically than age spot removal. Hope this helps a little. Good luck.

I am actually going to start my removal process on a new tattoo in sept. the place I am going has 2 laser.. the q switch yad 1065 and the pico.. he told me pico is not really great for black and grey in the long run but great and greens blue etc.. they will use the yad on my black and grey and a mix between the yah and pico on my colored tattoo.. your tattoo is a very light grey I can't see It taking as many as 15 treatments.. good luck to you :)

1 day after test zap
The fact that this specific laser dr said 15 plus sessions is what it will take to remove this tattoo is really bothering me, I want this off in less than 5 atleast , the ink is extremely thin and I already see slight fading after 24 hrs since a test zap. The not specifically knowing is really bothering and making me anxious.

Gone in 3 treatments might be possible with a pico laser, but not sure with qswitch laser. Never seen a tattoo be removed in 3 tx with qswtich anyway. Good luck.

I was told qswitch is much better for black and grey and pico for curtain colored one's.. I will be using both on me.. well they will be.. I think he has a shot of it going away before 15. .it is very light
