It has been a while since I started my removal in August. I have been using the q-switched ruby laser to remove the black. So far I have had mixed opinions on how it is going. I have been having some trouble with the removal of the shading as it seems to be leaving a ghost effect. Not sure if it is temporary but I will give it time and see since the lines are yet to be removed. This is my first post and the first picture was the day the tattoo was done and the next picture will be 4 treatments in. This tattoo was a freehand on the outline, after it was done I went into shock and I thought I might like it if I got it finished. oh how wrong I was... I was only 18 made such a stupid mistake of letting him basically doodle on my arm :S I am currently doing a session every two weeks on a third each time. The bottom 3rd has had 4 treatments and the top 2 have had 3.

Just had my session! Was a burner, the ruby laser has been serviced and has 30% more power I can certainly feel it. We did some experimentation on a small section of my tattoo that is purely shading and we will see if it goes down. Been loving the progress so far, just hope i'm not left with a ghost effect like I have seen before but you have to stay positive and hope for the best and plan for the worst!

Wow, I must say you are having great results! Do you know what setting your laser is at? Another member in the community was worried about the ghost effect or browning:
A COSTLY MISTAKE - MENTALLY, PHYSICALLY & FINANCIALLY
As Dbmistake mentions, you will see continual fading and more time between sessions the better.

Thankyou :) I am not sure I will ask my doctor but it definitely has increased in power!

thanks for posting, man. I think the results are pretty excellent for 4 considering how big and dark that thing was. take it no cover up?

No problem :), I know how useful it is to see other peoples results as I reassures them. The picture of it dark was the day it was done unfortunately I don't have a picture couple weeks after it was finished but it lightened I little bit. Not my plan A but certainly a plan B if things don't go according to plan or there is significant pigment left behind.

Couldn't believe my eyes scrolling through your photos; what incredible results. :) You're doing great!! Would definitely love to know what setting you're using.

Thankyou ! :D I will find out for you in my next treatment and I will post it on my review. I will also post pictures showing the difference in fade from my last treatment

Some great results there considering you only started in August. I wouldn't of believed you've only covered the tattoo 3/4 times with a q switched laser.

Thankyou :) after my next treatment I will be able to start treating half of my arm instead of splitting it into 3rds. I will find out the setting I have been using when I go for my next one
