Its very good, but its taking to much time. I went to a new clinic to test a new laser, waiting for The results to post a pic.

These lasers do work, and will definitely work on your tattoo. Its just glacier slow. BTW I think your piece is cute and well done, I don't know why you want to get rid of it, but its your body. Try to keep yourself busy and think of other things, it will fade but very very very slowly.

find another doctor with experience! It seems like there is no fading and it means that the doc has no idea how to break the ink....please search for another clinic or ask for another doctor.... experience with tattoo removal is really important more important than the laser itself! If the technician knows how to break the ink in few sessions then it is going to be a successfull removal, look how some people here got rid of their tattoos...

It's only been a week since your treatment. It will take several weeks before you see any difference, but it can also take several treatments before you see any good results too. I know how hard it is living with something on your body that you want gone so badly, but you really have to focus on the more important things in the meantime while your body flushes the ink away. Patience is key!

Its Just that looks like The same, but i think The laser Will work in The ink for some time. Isnt it? I Hope so.

Yes it will take time. Keep taking photos as they're a real good way to see how you're progressing. You should see a real difference within a few treatments, just give it time. :-)

You said he had the laser on 3 right? 3 is the lowest. My Doctor did the same to see how my skin would react, the lower the number the higher the laser. I didn't even blister. The laser was on really low, so there was some fading but likely will be more the second go around. Do not lose hope. The laser works by breaking up the ink and your body carries it away little by little as your immune system attacks it. It can take up to 6-8 weeks to see the full results of the treatment, or to see fading. I know its hard but you need to have realistic expectations. When i went for my first treatment i was taking a photo everyday obsessing about whether or not it was fading, the fact is, the laser is working but its working under the skin where you can't see it until further down the road. There are tats that are more resistant than others but all and all Doctors take it easy the first time to see how you react. When you go back again they will likely up the power. Just give it time. I know I feel your pain but don't lose hope. Focus on something else and try to stay positive. IF you really can't stand it when the skin heels more put some concealer on it so you don't have to look at it.

Thank you very much. I dont realize they took it easy in The first. I Will try to Be patience until my Next laser january 7.

We are getting our next treatment on the same day! Mine is the 7th as well!

Sorry you are not happy with the results. I second what Welsh Chad says, it takes time. I hardly saw any difference in my tattoo after the first treatment either. It wasn't till about treatment 5 the fading really kicked in. Also, as whitedovesfly said, they start the laser at the lowest setting to be safe, so the first treatment is really light. Hang in there, we are all rooting for you!

Im better nos. I must see this is going to take some time. I Just Hope it didnt make me crazy!
Oh, that's great that you didn't feel much pain. I found that ice helped a ton. Happy healing, keep us posted.
Great to hear!
