Hi I am Jeremy from France and I have a calf tattoo that I regret so much: it was made 3 mounths ago by a famous artist I thought talented. I am not an impulsive person usually but I now realize that I decided Too Quick. I have a flower lotus that I have made inked in thailand 5 years ago and I allways found it "Too Alone" so I décided to ad a layer and a "golden buddha" head in a japanese style. So I looked for an artist in France. I found someone who seemed understand my project and we designed the drawing together. The problem is that I didn't expext so much darkness a layer like that! Now I hate it everyday I Wake up in the morning, I dont eat and dont work out anymore : I am sad and often cry . I used to be a positive and self-confident person and now I am making my family and my girlfriend sad... I had an appointment with a Medical center in Paris which have the picosure : the problem : it is colour full and big! the woman told me that a complete removal is impossible for me because Of the red ink but a cover Would be possible. She told it Would be done in two parts each mounths for a total Of 900 $ a mounth! She also told me that They dont use "cooler" during the process and that it Would be very painfull and difficult to walk normally during healing process.. I dont Know What to do because my tattoo is even not finished . If I begin the journey I fear to fail and regret even More . I post Some pictures Of This terrible mistake on my leg.

Hi Jeremy!! I just read your post and wanted to let you know how my experience was removing the red in my tattoo.
The first laser I used to begin removing my tattoo was the Q Yag 5- and the first color to be completely removed from my tattoo was the red. I know that every person and every tattoo is different, but I just wanted to let you know my particular experience, to let you know that it is possible to get rid of the red.

Also, I'm really excited for you that you decided to start this journey! I hope your leg is feeling a little better! I have some blue in my tattoo that didn't respond that much to the Q Yag 5 or the Ruby laser (although it did respond a lot more to the Ruby), so I'm looking forward to seeing how the Picosure does on your blue lotus!!

I just started undergoing remival for a large full-color thigh tatt-I'm using the PicoSure , but am weary about the red-a lot of people are saying reds may be the most difficult to remove? But you're saying you had success with the Qyag5? Worth checking out.

I am also undergoing laser tattoo removal with the picosure laser. They are using a different laser for the reds. I was told the picosure does not work well on reds.

I know I got a long way to go but I also know that nothing is imposible when you really want something. today some blisters appears, the weather is quite sunny and hot here but I dont go outside. For the red I know it is difficult but if it turn to pink I will be happy because I plan for a coverup with cherry blossoms and blue waves all around my leg after about 12 sessions...

20 days after session 1st
FrenchMilitaryOctober 5, 2014
there are some photos ater 20 days of picosure first session,
the 15 days of healing were quite difficult, the leg swollen and with a lot of scabs, the blisters were huge on the flower. It was difficult to walk normally and do sport during 2 weeks.
My tattoo is really less dark but not very fade. So I don't know if I will continue because the colours are bright. So maybe I will keep it like that because I want to be able to my boxing training. fortunately I got a wonderfull family and friends who support me. It is just a tattoo, I got the choice to continue like that during 1 year or to do other tattoos around.
