Treatment #5
Well I have been gone again a while. Mostly because I try to forget about this process as much as possible because it depresses me. I'm currently just hitting the black with the q switch to lighten it up then will move to color. Is it even fading??? I feel like it keeps looking grosser and grosser. Another thing. My friend invited me to be her bridesmaid in 2 weeks and wants us to wear strapless dresses. I feel like I have to miss out on this opportunity because of my stupid tattoo it makes me so sad!!!! I'll keep posted my next appointment is in 10 weeks or so.
Faric oxide in tattoo ink??
Apparently any ink colors with faric oxide will show up as clear with the laser so they won't go away. Does anyone know anything about this?
Treatment #3
So I know I haven't posted an update in a while. I started searching for different places to do my removal because the place I was going was a non profit more geared towards people who had prison or gang tattoos and they really only specialized in treating black and couldn't do anything for my green or blue. I was paying $100 per session there when I found the national laser institute medspa thru a friend. I met with Shelley (she's the teacher) and she told me that to minimize scarring she wanted to lift as much black out before hitting any color because the color is fading faster than the black because it's so dense from the cover up. Long story short she has her students perform on me but she guides there every move and makes me feel very comfortable. And guess what she charges me!? Only $50 per session!!! As a young mom with little income I'm so happy that I can do this for myself without money being the deal breaker. I felt great after my appointment just a little burning. I posted a pic of after my 3rd treatment.
