***Rebellion Turned Conservative - Tattoo removal*** - Westminster, CO

Hello everyone! I just had my first treatment with the Quanta Q + C after much research between the q switch and Pico sure. My technician has told me it will take 9 treatments for all 4 tattoos + or – 1-2 treatments. I felt very comfortable with Judi as she has tattoos that she is removing with the same machine, so she’s testing how aggressive she can get with her clients on herself first.

This does hurt! I never thought getting a tattoo hurt that much, but this is 4x as bad. If you were one of those people that said “ouch” a lot and had the artist stop a few or several times, just try to love your decision because you can’t handle this. I’m not opposed to tattoos and will be keeping the ones on my back shoulder blade and the back of my neck. I just don’t want any to show with everyday clothing.

I’m excited to be able to wear a skirt and shorts without any ink showing. My [RS bleep] tat has been outdated for the at least 15 years and that was my very first tattoo I had done back in 1988. After my first treatment most of the outline has already disappeared! It’s very promising. The purple fairy tattoo on my calf is the only one that blistered after my first treatment. Of course, Judi treated the color as well as the outline. That is the most current tattoo done in 2007, other than the cover up butterfly one done in 2011.The cross on my leg and the cover up butterfly on my inner thigh didn’t do much other than become slightly red around the outline and/or swell a little.

I’m going in every 6 weeks to try and get this done in a year. I hate having to cover them this summer, but it’s only one summer! I’ll post new pics after every 3 treatments, so if you are stalking this site wondering which machine to use and how the results turn out, I’m the perfect chic for you to follow! LOL

I'm seeing some great fading and have since the first treatment! The butterfly cover up on my inner thigh appears to be my "difficult child"! It shows hope though! I think all, except the butterfly, will be done by Christmas as my tech continues to get more aggressive with every treatment!

Not sure why the pic didn't show up in my last update, anyway, this one always blisters! Here are pics from the all three treatments when she's blistered. It doesn't hurt at this time, but sometimes I'll get a sudden jolt of minor pain run through all of them in the healing process. My ankle is swollen for a couple days too.
