Pause for 1 year
I haven't gotten any new treatments since last year (June), this is how my tattoo looks today. I think it has continued to fade since my last treatment. Will have treatment no 3 this fall.

Still raised outline after 5 weeks?
Anyone else experiencing this? Does it go down or is it starting to scar?

Yes I did notice that in the beginning, but haven't had raised lines for that long the las 2 treatments. The nurse that treated me said that I would wait longer between treatments if it is still itchy or raised.
Thanks for replying! So when you had some raised outlines in the beginning, you postponed your treatment? Or did you continue as usual?
Yes I postponed 2 more weeks and made sure I oiled it every Day
Thanks for the tip, I will oil it and see what happens. What oil do you use?
Nice fading on the red! :)
My tattoo is a bit raised for the first couple of weeks, but then it goes down. Have you tried Bio-oil? It works really well for me and I think that`s what`s helping me avoid scars so far.
Thanks, it seems to kick the red out good! But the rest of the tattoo is mote stubborn;) I am using bio oil now, just before I go to bed. Should I use it more? Do you use anything else on it?
EG
I had lots of raised lines. I can't remember exactly how long before they went down but I didn't scar from the laser. The only scars I have are from the tattoo itself. Be sure to keep your skin hydrated, Coconut Oil and Shea Butter are soothing on your skin. A tip given to me from a tattoo artist was to add Tea Tree Oil to the moisturizer to help with scarring. He made it very clear not to use Tea Tree full strength as it is harsh on the skin alone. There are also silicone scar sheets that you can use to help with scarring. Here's a Q&A you may find helpful: Can Silicone Gel Pads Flatten Raised Scar Tissue?
I am just using a all natural sweet almond oil bought at the pharmacy. Nothing fancy.

Some comparison-pics
Before and after two treatments, 5 weeks after treatment. Hoping it will fade more in the upconing weeks. My next treatment is in Three weeks. Still waiting for some raised lines to be better, and protecting it with sunscreen almost every day, even though Im not directly exposing it.

Have you looked into using picosure? That would better target the green ink and some clinics have the attachment that targets red ink as well.
Have considered Picosure for the green and blue, yes:-) Will definately try that if my clinic doesn't get the new add-on/new wavelength for picoway.
Just call Eraze :) They will get that green and blue right out! :)
Is it still fading?
I think so! I haven't had a new treatment in a year, so it has probably stopped fading now. But the raised lines are gone, and I think my skin has needed the long break :)
