Laser Tattoo removal with Picosure
WORTH IT$200
Today I had my 1st session of Picosure on my Lego men tattoo.
I could see a big difference straight away! It made the green turn to yellow and the blue had significantly faded at treatment time. I'm excited to watch this tattoo fade over time and as I have more sessions done. I go back in 6-8 weeks for my next session.
I have only had Q-Switched laser on my tattoos so far and the Picosure is a lot more easier on the skin, it takes a little bit longer but it's definitely not a 'burn' or a 'pain'. I sat there for the whole session without any breaks (roughly took 20 minutes) and had no problems at all. I could barely even feel it at times!
Any questions, comments or helpful hints, be sure to leave them below =)

Did the red respond well? I have so much red In mine and it seems a pretty hard colour but yours looks like it faded from what I can see!

Hi Sheena, the red did fade, not as much as the blue, but it did fade.
Healing the red was also a lot harder. The laser for the red seemed to of been more harsh on my skin than the laser he used for the blues/greens.

Thanks. I heard the laser for red is more traumatic for the skin and seems its true. Oh well will have to be done main thing is it works hey.

I just had a look at your pics and read your review. I feel sorry for you being so hard on yourself because I know how it feels. I too feel as though I have ruined my body and I cannot wait to get here stupid tattoos off me. I'm staying so focused on it and nothing is going to stop me!
Keep your chin up, we will get there in the end =)

Thanks. I'm so upset because I can't start yet and I literally got it a week before I got pregnant. Had just lost a baby and It's so difficult. just want to do something about it cos it makes me feel so gutted seeing it and knowing it's not going anywhere for ages. The red is the worst bit for me it's so out of proportion and dark in real life- better come out and il be so ecstatic.

hi, I am new to this site, but I am also dying to remove a tattoo I've just made like 5 months ago. I am a US resident but I currently live in Brazil, I went for a cinsultatiion on the tattoo removal in here and as I figured they've only got the q-switched in here and no picosure, they also scared me I will be scarring a lot. I decided I will wait till I am back to the US so that I can start removing with picosure laser for a better recovery. Do they decide on price in accordance to how much ink you have on you or how large is the tattoo territory? my tattoo is just simple lines but it goes long, so here in brazil they just measured me with a piece of paper to see how large is the spot. I found it quit unfair, cause the tattoo is really small just long. I wish I could send a picture in here but apparently I cant

Hi, thanks for your comment.
I was getting q-switched laser for about 6 treatments in total (on different tattoos) and it doesn't do much. Picosure is definitely the way to go!
It goes on the size and the density of the tattoo, but you might have a very long tattoo but not much ink, like you have said so I would say, if you're not happy with the way they quoted you, definitely find another place. Just make sure it's reputable, you don't want to be let with any scarring

Hi guys, I have never done a blog thingy before so just bear with me.
Ok so, I have 5 big tattoos I want gone. I understand it's going to be a slow process but I'm up for it!
I have a full b&g sleeve, some letting on the top half of my stomach, a big coloured Lego men on my left thigh, cat woman on my right thigh and Jessica rabbit on the back of my knee ditch going down on to my calf (that tattoo was ouchies to get! Lol).
People are asking why I'm getting rid of them, well, there is a story behind it but I will keep that quiet for the time being due to me not wanting to cop backlash! Lol
On my sleeve, I have had 2 sessions on the top half of my arm and 3 sessions on my lower arm. My stomach has had 2 sessions and that session is so damn painful =( I can't sit through all the other sessions and it doesn't bother me, my stomach buckles me! Lol
The Lego man has had 1 session but only on the outline, cat woman has had 1 session, the same as Jessica rabbit. I have only had Q-switched laser so far but I'm now going to move on to Picosure as I feel (well, I'm hoping) it has better results on my tattoos than what I have been getting.
I will be getting my 1st Picosure session done in about 2 weeks time and the Lego men will get roasted 1st lol
I will post pics of it once it's been done.
If anyone has any questions, feel free to ask. Also, if anyone has any helpful tips or even just encourage words, don't be shy to comment those too.
Oh, I'm from Australia #straya
Much love guys x

Welcome to the community! ☺
I'm super happy that you found us and decided to share your journey. I am confident that you'll receive a ton of support from others in the community.
I can understand why you found your stomach so painful to laser, I cringe just thinking about it! I have a large rib piece that flows just a little onto my stomach and I found that the most painful area to tattoo. Are you using any numbing cream, cooling machine, or ice during your treatments?
I look forward to your updates!

We all understand tattoo regret or the necessity to remove tattoos depending on life changes here, so don't feel bad.
I wish you all the best of luck! Hope to hear more from you soon! :-)

Is your tattoo colour or black & grey? It does cost a lot of money but if it's something that you want to do, you will be happy to sacrifice other things just so you can afford it. For me, my tattoos now have such a negative impact on my self esteem so nothing will stop me going ahead with laser.
What country do you live in?
For a session of Picosure on this colorful tattoo, it was $400 AUD. I'm still working out how to do proper reviews so I'm not sure if I put the right price in lol
