Laser Tattoo Removal

I got my first Picosure treatment today. I'm using a medspa I'm familiar with because I had laser hair removal there (many years ago). Ageless Remedies-Southpark in Charlotte NC.

Its definitely more expensive than a lot of other places ($700 for my "5x5" tattoo) but I trust them not to ruin my skin in the process.

I got this tattoo 12 years ago right after my 18th birthday and I was never really in love with it. Specifically the shape.. it's not organically shaped and kind of just looked like a stamp on my back.

A couple years ago I started toying with the idea of getting it removed and I'm finally prioritizing the treatments.

This is where I'm starting & I'll update the progress as it heals.

As far as pain, I recommend asking to ice it numb. I also took a painkiller beforehand. It felt similar to laser hair removal if you're familiar, but more intense.

It’s been one day. I experienced discomfort yesterday but today I feel nothing really. Experienced a tiny itch today but nothing crazy.
Technician said it would heal really quickly because of how close it is to my heart.

The tattoo looks really faded and the skin is starting to peel. It itches like crazzyyyyy!
