Saga Ending-/Coverup Underway plus GIVING AWAY FREE my Dermablend Coverup Set
Hello,
I am so happy to be ending this saga. I started my coverup a few weeks ago, and after one session. it is going beautifully. The tattoo is easily covered after 8 total laser treatments. I love and trust this artist (should have gone to her first!) and she drew me a beautiful Mucha-esque Demeter, with poppies and wheat. I already feel so much better, and am proud to have it seen, even with the old tattoo under it (though I am hiding it from the sun and water this summer). I will have the artist take photos before I start my next session. I am hoping to pass along my Dermablend Coverup Set to someone who would like to try covering up their tattoo. I tried covering mine up for a wedding and for the beach a few times. It actually works pretty well! I can't sell it because EBay won,t sell used cosmetics, but I bought the stuff brand-new from Dermablend.com and Macy's, for $25-$30 each (totaling over $100), andI hate to just throw it away. I am happy to mail it to somebody, let me know you're interested. You can probably tell in the photos, will probably work best on someone with tan/golden/medium/olive skin
Details:
Only used 5 times- more than 90% full.
1 Leg and Tattoo Primer, tube
1 Dermablend Leg and Body Cover, Tawny Color (3.4 fl oz)
1 Dermablend Leg and Body Cover, Medium Color (3.4 fl oz) (one worked better as I got tanner- I now forget which one!)
1 Setting Powder, Cool Beige, 1 oz
** I will also include 11 HideInk Tattoo Covers, color "Olive"- these work pretty well!

8 treatments done. Progress but lots to go.
It has been awhile since I updated. I have now had 8 picosure treatments done total. I am now leaving three months in between treatments on the technician's advice. The treatments are painful but manageable, and it takes about three weeks for healing afterward (one week plus for the blisters to go away). It is fading, but taking a long time and with three months in between, it will be a long while before this thing is gone. I am beginning to ponder a cover-up more seriously, though am not sure yet.
10 weeks post 5th treatment
I see more fading, and some fading from 3 to 10 weeks post the 5th treatment is obvious. I am glad it's working, yet still impatient. Keeping it pretty covered up this summer- I wish I could not be embarrassed about it like some of you on here, but I am embraced for people I know to see it. I bought derma blend and it covers it up pretty well, might do more of that once it gets a little warmer here in Seattle. These pics are from the day before my 6th treatment, which I got an am healing from now. I plan to wait 3 plus months before my next treatment- it sucks to do the bandages and blisters in nice weather, plus consensus seems to be that more time leads to much better fading. Anyways, here are my pics.

Joanie Poth
Very positive experience. I like the RN, Joanie Roth (I think she is a LNP). (note the above says Jean, but her name is Joanie). I like having the same person every time. She has a lot of experience with tattoos and is calm and steady and friendly. The first time, she had an assistant manage the cool air machine at the same time, which was awesome and really helped with pain. In subsequent sessions, she has worked alone, and has the cold air directed at the spot, but it's not quite as directed and responsive. Still helps, though.
