Updated pics!
WORTH IT$1,365
It’s been at least a year since I’ve posted new pictures of my treatment with the Quanta Q + C laser. I’ve had 2 eurbium treatments that are used for birth marks and scars. It helps even out the ink apparently.
My hummingbird is almost gone! The butterfly is not recognizable anymore. The cross has missing areas and so does the fairy.
I’m at 3.5 years of this and I’m hopeful to be done in the next year. It’s been a long and painful road!

Is the fairy on your calf? I am considering going for either picoway or picoclear treatment. Picoclear is more expensive as it's done at a dermatologist. A nurse, handles the treatment. For a tattoo of my size i reckon 500 to $600 per treatment! 10 to 15 treatments needed!

Yes the fairy is on my calf. Are you sure you want to spend that much money to remove? Have you researched all of your options? I only spent a little over 1k for all of my treatments. It's taking longer, but I don't care.

Yes its going to be very expensive. I cant do anything for now. My tattoo is still healing. Been 2.5 months. You can read my story by clicking my name. I dont think full removal is possible for me. If i can get the tattoo lightened evenly i may be able to live with it. For now its too dark for me

Wow, that's quite a bit. Perhaps look into Invisible Ink and see if they have a center nearby. They offer a guarantee based off of the first consultation.

Wow, it looks like you had a LOT of ink in some of those tattoos. Is there a particular reason why you chose ReGen Laser? I live in CO as well and have been doing my research. As of right now, I'm most drawn toward Invisible Ink with the PicoWay laser and guarantee.

I picked Regen because I believe it’s the safest laser and the proximity to my home and work. I got an all inclusive bundled deal too! Good luck in your search!

I would guess at about 15 by now. We started out the first year of every 6 weeks and I never missed, then went to 8 weeks in between sessions and now it’s at 12 weeks because I’m on the highest wand possible.

Sure! My technician did the Erbium laser (meant for deep facials or scar removal) on me almost 3 weeks ago. It’s meant to break up the ink more because I was at a standstill with the Quanta. So, they all peeled and I’m seeing more areas separating from the tattoo in small amounts. I think this whole process is going to take me 3 years. I’m not a patient person, but with this process you have to be!

Almost 2 years of regular treatments!
Well, it's been a while since I've been on here. Just to update, I stated my tattoo removal on January 6, 2016. I've made a lot of progress with the Quanta Q + C machine. It's going to take me at least 2.5 years to complete though. I'm on the last wand possible and now my sessions must be 12 weeks apart. My breast tattoo will be the first to be completely gone. No surprise since it gets the most blood flow than the others! Here's my pics taken tonight!

Thanks for sharing your journey. Any scarring or pigmentation? I am concerned about that. I have a 8"by 3" colored tattoo on my upper calf to remove.

Hi there regrettatoo! I have no scarring or pigmentation issues at all. On my hummingbird it's a little red in the areas where the ink is completely gone because I had just showered. It's the same fair skin color I have. I just don't know if it's true that I can tan the areas because of the removal process and I don't sunbathe due to my obvious fair skin. I created some before and my current photos. There is a huge difference, but it's all gone yet. My fairy tattoo is about the size of yours.

Thanks for the reply. I read that it's best not to tan skin before and after laser treatment. This to prevent pigmentation. My tattoo has so many colours. Main colors black brown red. Little orange green and white. How awful!

Hello, I see your pictures and can see a process but obviously it's still there after so many treatments!!! I got my knuckles tattooed 3 days ago and I'm having a really hard time living life period. I feel depressed, sad and it's not allowing me to be there for my family. I see your pictures and it makes me feel like it's never going to come off or feel better about. Wish I was as positive as you are

Unfortunately the hands and feet get the least amount of blood flow, so with the machine I use it would take a long time. There are other machines that you should research and find the best one for you. Some have faster results than others. I wanted the least risk for scarring and being able to tan the areas when I'm done. There's always hope!
