Seeing some good fading this time. I keep reminding myself we've only done 3 treatments. I got this!
Healing last time was rough. Had some blisters, may have some scarring...
This fourth time though we opted not to turn up the laser and so far I have no blistering but my arm is definitely swollen the biggest it's ever been. This is my last treatment before the wedding, so I'm going to be taking at least two months off before the next...
I had major feelings of dread before going this time and almost backed out. I almost feel panic when I sit in that chair. Then the laser starts and I wonder why I am putting myself through all of the pain. However as soon as its done I breathe and instantly forget how awful it was until the next time I am driving to the treatment center....
I am happy I am doing this. It's keeping me grounded and helping me think about the consequences of decisions I make before I make them...

session 3, OUCH!! laser is now up to 3.0 and it was rough. lots of deep breathing and breaks but we did it. Keep in mind I am opting OUT of numbing cream, as those things can be bad for your heart once absorbed by the body, and since my body is already going to be absorbing enough garbage im just staying away from it. Anywhoo it was not as painless afterwards as it was last time. Burning and pinpoint bleeding, and I think i see some small blisters beginning to form. That being said its still not terrible and I am excited to see how it looks when the swelling goes down. The ink looks so much more broken up when the arm is this swollen. Im happy with the amount of fading I am seeing after two sessions. For a bright fresh dense tattoo I think its good progress. Will check back in a few days to let y'all know how healing is going!

Had my second session yesterday. Started off being much more painful but the pain went away a lot quicker this time.
I had noticed some slight breakup of the lines right before the second session, but immediately after it could tell that the laser did a fantastic job of breaking up the lines even more. I am seeing a lot of brown and faded edges. Even the panthers dense black is in the beginning phase of the breakup, I think. Much better results than I had anticipated so early on.
Once again no blistering. The arm is very swollen but I have no broken skin and the soreness is very minimal. I believe my tech knows whats shes doing.
added six pictures but i will take all except the "after one session" pic down in a few weeks :)
