Extremely glad I found Dr. Soni. He makes me feel safe and secure that my removal journey is in the right hands. He answered all my questions and made sure I was ok during the procedure. Very professional and genuine. Anyone who is looking for tattoo removal, go to Ethos Spa. You won't be disappointed.

I have severe depression and haven't been able to eat or sleep. Just keep replaying that day in my head and saying I should've done this and this and avoided going to the tattoo shop.. I was so happy and content before and now that I have these ugly things on me, I feel unattractive and insecure.. It might sound like the craziest thing, but I am extremely ocd and quite the perfectionist so to have something like this happening to me right now, especially in summer when I leave for my vacation next month, is so depressing. I literally hate everything right now.

I've been there. You can read on my review how depressed I was but let me tell you - it will pass. Of course I'm still mad at myself and sad that I put myself in this mess but there's no point in dwelling on the past. You have to look forward. You've already made the first step to fix it all by removing the tattoo. Now it can only get better! Greetings :)

Thank you so much! I just read your reviews and can't believe that what I'm feeling is actually "normal".. I feel like I won't stop being mad at myself until they are completely gone. I thought I was going crazy and being dramatic. Nobody seems to understand what I'm going through, but I'm glad you left a word. Thank you, I will try to look forward. It's exceptionally hard though, with all this regret. We are going through the Exact Same thing! Though unfortunate, I'm glad I'm not alone. I saw that you had your first treatment as well, how are you feeling? :)

One week since first treatment

They are still extremely dark.. I know I won't see any results after just one treatment and it literally destroys me.. I can't help but take pictures of it and stare at it every single minute. I completely ruined my life, I'm so stupid for doing this to myself. A tattoo right on the neck? What was I thinking?? Seriously where was my mind.. No one will hire me now. No one will respect me. I was so happy before the tattoos.. I was always laughing and wanting to hang out. Now I barely leave my room. I was so excited about my vacation next month and now I don't even want to go anymore. I'm afraid of what people will say about me. I'm crying all the time, so so insecure. I don't know how I'm going to do this.. I really don't. These tattoos don't seem to be going anywhere. I'm praying and telling myself I can get through this, but I can't.. I cant do it anymore.

Don't worry! I didn't see much difference after one session either! I suggest comparing your results form session #3 to your original ink and you should be able to see some changes. :-)
Also, I just wanted to tell you I understand everything you're going through. I have a mess of a tattoo on my chest and living with it and going on a vacation to Arizona shortly thereafter was kind of a nightmare. But I want to tell you, you will start to feel better as it gets lighter and lighter. It takes time, but things WILL get better!
I always say this and always tell myself this but we're only human. Some people accidentally crash their cars or forget to pay a bill. We got a tattoo we regret. It's tough but if humans never made mistakes we would never learn anything. We just need to push through it, as hard as it is, and we will come out a better person in the end.
If you ever need to talk. I understand and am available. :-)

I'm crying, thank you so, so much for this. I appreciate it very much. I literally felt like giving up, but you saved me. I couldn't bare the thought of living with this much self-hatred and regret and anger. I know I sound ridiculous, and I'm sorry I really am. I know there are far worst situations and I sound mental, but this is absolutely killing me. Maybe I deserved this though.. Maybe I was too happy before. I have a few tattoos that I love and also wanted a couple more, but now I hate them. I hate the thought of them on me, all that has to do with them, and its become a new fear of mine now. This is definitely a lesson learned. I'm never doing anything to my body again. Thank you so much, believe it or not, you saved me.

I feel exactly the same way! Seriously, I have been going through this since just a few days after getting the tattoos. They're just silly and poorly done and one of them is in a prominent place. I have been working towards getting into grad school so of course I'm feeling like I screwed up my chances of getting into the competitive program, but I'm hope that's not the case...and of course I can wear a blazer to my interview. It's going to be so hard waiting it out til my tattoos are old enough to begin the laser process (I have my appointment in August), but I am SO excited for the coming years of lightening. As someone already said, it is only up from here. Stay strong. <3

Ugh :( I wish you guys were here so we could all hang out and "celebrate" our mistakes together :'D I felt instant regret.. I remember paying and leaving that place with tears rolling down my face, HATING myself. I got treatment 4 days later which is why I'm afraid I've scarred. It's funny because I find your tattoos so humorously cute :) If anything, mine are poorly done and definitely rushed :( But I agree, I'm excited to watch it fade. You'll get into grad school, those tats are easy to hide! I just hate the process, it's really teaching me patience haha. Thank you! Stay strong also, xo.

Just wanted to throw in that I'm glad you got something out of my comment. I always wonder if I sound like I'm blabbering on, but I really do feel like I relate.
When I first got my tattoo, I had never been so depressed. I kind of thought I was literally losing my mind. Kind of like how you said you feel mental. And part of the reason why we feel so crazy is because we KNOW that there are people in worse situations. Burn victims etc. And everyone wonders what our problem is and everyone is telling us it could be worse. But that doesn't mean our situation is any "less" hard to take. We're not crazy, this is tough.
But you know, we're all stronger than we realize. Even at our weakest moments we have to look for the strength, because it's there. And if we need professional help, or need to talk to someone we trust to help us find that glimmer of strength, there is no shame in that either. Remember that, if you ever need help finding your strength again. Of course, I'm always available here too. :-) But I am limited to the amount of help and warm fuzzies I can send through the internet. Hehe.
Again, don't worry. This too will pass. I know that's a common quote but it's so true. This is only a small portion of our lives and once it's done IT'S DONE! :-)

Maybe one day we will be sharing drinks and celebrating our fading progress :) Thank you for your kind words. I also like your tattoos, I think they are very elegant. I agree this is going to be one epic learning experience xD I have faith though. And in the back of my mind, I am generating ideas for a beautiful coverup so that if for whatever reason I can't achieve a full removal, I can have something on my body that I love. Good luck and I look forward to seeing your progress. <3
