WORTH IT$500
Hi everyone, sorry for the delay in between my posts. I have had huge success in my laser so far but unfortunately am still chilling away at the very dense black and blue tattoo on my thigh. My back and ribs have had about 6-7 treatments now and i have decided to cover my ribs and let my back go away forever! It has been a long and painful process but please keep your eye on the prize it is very much worth it! I still get frustrated and down alot about my largest tattoo that hasnt faded as fast but a slow journey to the goal i want is better than a quick journey to something else i will regret. Stay positive. It works on even the darkest most hideous tattoos! All my treatments have been done with the q swtich laser.

2 weeks after Second treatment

I have just had my second treatment and again am very impressed with the results. Again the blue has not been treated yet and will be done next treatment. The black has faded a lot, although there is a still a long way to go. Like everyone I guess I have my days where I feel angry and frustrated that they are there in the first place but at the end of the day I have to deal with my mistake. Feeling very promising about the results. I am aiming for a full removal of my back and rib tattoo and to fad my largest and darkest tattoo on my hip/thigh for a coverup. Please note I am being treated by a q switch laser. I have been using EmLa numbing cream which has helped substantially with the pain. It is very quick and It has healed quickly aswell. Please keep the comments coming, it's inspiring to have support and questions :)

So all up this has cost you $500? I'm curious to know as I'm thinking about getting a removal, but not sure what price range I'm looking at. Great progress by the way!

It is costing $500 for the three per treatment so I've spent $1000 so far on two treatments. From the research and consultations I have had it is very competitive. The price will also vary laser to laser. Good luck :)

Good stuff. I've managed to get onto another branch of H&F in Melbourne called Chapel Tattoo, so thank you :). First consultation & possible treatment on Sunday!

Oh wow great news! Good luck with your treatment. Every consultation and treatment I have had with mjdriver laser removal has been beyond expectations :)

It is coming really nicely! I can see a lot of breaking of the ink! Good job!

Is there any way on this site I can follow your progress? I do I just have to look for you each time? I have a large tattoo on my hip I am considering getting removed. For almost 12 I have toyed with the idea of getting a few things added to it but worried it would become too big! After reading your post I think I will be getting it removed... Thank you :)

Hi nancy, I'm not to sure about following my progress, I guess you could just save it to you favourite or bookmarks and check monthly? I was in the exact same situation where I was unsure about getting some things added, when I made the decision the gets some flowers added the tattoo got so out of hand and further away from anything that I initially wanted, even though I kept going back for more work with good intentions and hope that it would all tie in well in the end- that don't happen for me. However there are some good coverup stories too, this was just my experience. Good luck :) my next treatment will be on the 6th of September so keep an eye out for more updates after then :) love to hear what you decide to do.

3 Weeks After First Treatment
larissa1990July 11, 2014
3 weeks after my first treatment and it feels like forever since I had it! probably because i and checking everyday for progress. I experienced no blistering, just a lot of heat, redness, swelling and itchiness. I am excited about the progress of my two smaller tattoos as they seem to have faded quite a bit, however the tattoo i have the main issue with is still quite dark and strong - i guess that one will be a long road. I was hoping to have it ready for a coverup before summer (australian summer) but looks like it will probably be a lot longer. I am excited for my next treatment and will keep my forum updated! Thanks for all the support, It helps a lot on those down days :)
