New colorful tattoo

Hello ! I want to share my first session with PicoSure for this tattoo, i got it in December, I love the idea of q hover board from back to the future but the placement got me thinking I didn’t like it much and I think the tattoo artist was very tired and had party last night before tattooing me...soo long story short..I hated and still hate my tattoo and the placement most of it...I used to love my legs and I don’t know how I decided to put it there but I did it like a dummy, so here is a photo of the tattoo and 1 day after my first session... the doctor told me at least 12 are necessary ???? wish me luck!

Wow, I have had 4 treatments and none have blistered like this. Definitely, seek another dr opinion. If you hate tattoo, you'll definitely hate the tattoo with a big scar overtop of it.

I called the doctor right away and he told me is normal for the density of the colors of the tattoo... I did one with black on it never got event red spots but this one is so heavy ink! He told me he was not surprised to see the blisters..

Hi. ive had 6 treatments with three types of lasers (picture, ND-yag, PiQo4). sometimes I blister, sometimes I dont. Every treatment is different. DRINK LOTS OF WATER.

Yes I can see that depends of the ink and the person I guess! Any more tips? Do you think I can get it off for real or not? :(

There are so many factors, the age of the tattoo, who applied it, the type of ink involved, the type of laser/wavelength/spot size used for removal. You’ll always get the most lift after your first treatment because that is the ink closest to the surface of your skin. Following treatments show less fading. Hang in there! It’s a process that takes years.

Ok thanks for the info!! Do you think it will be possible full removal in 2-3 years? Or maybe to consider a cover up in black after?

I Work with tattoo Removal a lot of years. It is normal to blister in your case. Unfortunatly your tattoo Will be dificult to remove 100%. Continue to remove but if you dont see good results i would consider Doing after a good clearence with laser a Cover-up.

I have no idea. I started removal on my tattoo over 7 years ago. I’ve admittedly been lazy about getting treatments and have only had 6........ but i don’t feel like Im halfway there yet. I still have some very stubborn color.

So... i had really nice blister (well 2) on my first session and was very very painful, after 6 days my doctor told me to grab a needle and pop it very carefully and sterile de needle ... after that I put some bandages with gel he gave me and I was feeling so much better! In this photo I have a lot of cream for cicatrisation so don’t be alarm for the white thing :) , I hope I can see some results very soon cause is getting so stressful and I feel so sad

First session was outrageous!! Terribly painful and exhausting!!! But I see a little bit of fading... I wasn’t expecting a lot but I hope the other ones to come will give me more results!

What to you think?????

You should not be blistering that bad, your technician should know how to adjust the wavelength to minimize blistering and bleeding. I have a large and colorful tattoo on my back that I’ve been getting removed for a year now and have had very minimal blistering at all with some pretty good fading.
