Hi,
I wanted to share my experience with having my tattoos removed as I have wanted to do this for the last 5-10 years, but I have never trusted anyone to remove tattoos from my body and the technology was not where it is now with removal and scaring.

I have two tattoos that are both about 17 years old one on my chest and the other on my shoulder blade and I’m getting them both removed during the same session ( double pain). I picked PICOSURE to remove my tatt's as this seems to be the best technology on the market, that removes them quicker and less scaring issues.

I researched lots of places in Sydney as they seem to be opening up everywhere at the moment. I recently read about Dr Pico Tattoo Removal who opened up in Darlinghurst, Sydney and Dr Keith Kolodzej is doing the treatments. I thought too myself If I was going to get a tattoo removed having a Doctor do it was the best way to have it done in my mind and after meeting with him I decided to get both of them removed once and for all.

I've added some photos of before and I will do after the first treatment soon.

Keen to see how the treatments go as I have so many colours.

Will keep you posted throughout my treatments.

My first treatment went better than i expected. The cooling air really helps when they are using the lasers on you.. The shrooms on the front have not changed in colour much, but the man on my back shoulder has changed a little and i can see he will be the first to go..

The drive home was so hard as my seatbelt was rubbing on the front tattoo and the seat on the back one as I'm getting both done in the same session.

Dr Kolodzej provided me with gauzes, tape and vaseline to take home for after care. I'm glad I have taken the first steps to removing the tattoos

Hopefully yours won't take many sessions! A lot of older tattoos on here seem to go away much faster than fresher ones. The drive home was definitely the worst part for me too. Good luck with your removal!
