Removal of Large Hiddeous Tattoo

I went to a tatto artist in Thailand after seeing some of her work over a period of weeks I was there. We discussed the tattoo several times and I sent her ideas of tattoos I liked and took a drawing it too. She came back with her own drawing the following week and we agreed onthis. On the day she said if it was ok with me, she wouldnt apply it like a transfer but would free draw and asked if she could add to it a little. Because I liked her other work I said yes. BIG mistake.

The tattoo that appeard was nothing like the drawing. I was gutted. I have left it 2 years and done a lot of research before deciding on what method of removal. I am going with Picosure. I have had 2 so far leaving 5 weeks in between each one. But I heal quickly and going to do 4 after this next one.

I used Emla cream an cover with cling film for about 90 minutes before I go and take 2 painkillers an hour before. I hardly felt a thing.

Ok so I found out with treatment number3 that in fact I am having Picoway, not Picosure at the moment as apparently Picoway is best for black. Then as they get to the old tattoo underneath which has some blues and greens, they will switch to Picoway which is better for colours.
Its going ok altough its strange to see the circle in the middle fading much fast than the rest. But this is the area that has 3 tattoos on it. An old one from 20 yars ago, a coverup from 5 years ago, and the one I had as above.
The areas that arent fading as much were bamboo tattoo only. The circle has bamboo and 2 needle tattoo but fading faster. Very odd.

Anyway, cant wait for treatment 4 in 2 weeks time. Decided to leave it a bit longer inbetween this time, 7 weeks, as read in many places that leaving it longer is much better.

I forgot to take a painkiller an hour beforehand and I could notice the difference. Def had more gritted teeth.

Ok, will update when I can.

Ok, so this is 2 weeks after my 4th treatment. Bit disappointed as thought it would fade more although I know people say it does over the 6 weeks but I never seem to notice much after the first 10 days.
I have def noticed the difference with putting the numbing cream on 2 hours before instead of 1 which I did last time. The lazer is going deeper now and there was a bit more bleeding and scabbing this time but in general not bad. I always leave for 48 hours, then take the film off and vaseline 3 times a day for a week. Then bio oil for 2 weeks.
