It's official! Finally did it ..
After almost two years of being in limbo debating whether or not I should pursue the journey of removal I finally did it. I didn't necessarily think my tat was "bad" art work, in fact it was pretty good and it had significant meaning behind it but there were some issues with it that I could just not get over .. (won't go into much detail about those) Anyway, today I had my first session, honestly the pain was very tolerable. I had no problem with that aspect. It's $300 a session which is reasonable and this guy is legit. My friend had his entire hand tat removed, can't even tell he had ink there at all. My plan is to go with the flow as of now, if it looks like I can achieve full removal within a decent time frame I'll go that route but I also have a really respectable artist lined up here in Toronto if I just decide to fade it drastically for a piece I'm more content with. I'll he posting pics probably in a few weeks, just gunna give it some time to fade away. Cheers !

Props for waiting to do it! Two years that's awesome you decided to do it.
Yeah its definitely a commitment, happy I finally decided to begin though!
You won't regrets starting! ;)
Already feeling better!
Good luck.
I do believe you made the right choice; you will feel better once removed, or not so visible anymore.
Do u have any updates please
Hey sorry about the really late reply, I'm going in for my second session in about a week or so. I'm seeing some decent fading from the 1st. Will post pictures soon. Cheers
Any pics to share? I have been considering removal as well.

I'm finally going for it!
After all this time, contemplating my options I've finally booked my first laser session on February 5th! I'm pretty stoked to finally begin treatments. I'm going for full removal for now, but I have a really good realism artist lined up if that cannot be achieved. Anyways I'll be sharing pics etc after my 1st session! Cheers friends!

I am glad to hear that you've made a decision and I wish you much success in your removal and it's good to be prepared and open to a cover-up in a case full removal isn't possible.
Thanks Eva!
Yay! Can't wait to hear how your first session goes!
A little nervous but stoked to begin!
Good luck with the removal mate. I felt like a weight had been lifted of my shoulders when I made the decision and I started feeling more positive about everything, I hope you're feeling the same? I have my second session on the 15th, even though it hurts I can't wait, weird hey!?
Good stuff broski. I have a session on the 5th as well. Least I won't b the only one in pain that day lol jk. Good luck can't wait to c the pics after your session
Aha thanks man. Tbh, the pain is the least of my worries regarding this removal process.. I know I can't expect a miracle after the first treatment but I'm hoping for good results, fast. I just have to prepare emotionally for this journey... Nobody wants a half faded tat on their body for awhile.. That's my biggest concern. I'm just going to do everything in my power to speed up the process by following the correct after care tips, staying fit in the gym, etc. Anyways, thanks for the comment bruh
Good luck on your removal! If it cheers you up a bit - I really like your tattoo! But I totally get what you're feeling.
How did your treatment go?
Honestly haven't even began treatment. I'm actually more at peace with the ink than I was before. Figured I have more important stuff to worry about at the moment the removing some ink. I'm in the process of joining the military so removal is kinda put aside for now. Technology can only move as well so on future if I wanna get it off I'll have a better chance ! Anyways gl. Cheers !
Improve * so in the future *** damn iPhone lol
That's what I think too but I can't seem to be "ok" with the ink until technology improves.. how are you dealing with it and finding acceptance?
I work out a lot, play guitar etc to relieve stress. It dawns on me sometimes but I always try to stay positive and realize that things could be much worse. Atleast you didn't commit to a full sleeve, and you have no color which is a good start. My friend had his green hand tattoo removed in like a year. Google "Lee Horton Tumblr" . He provides amazing results with laser removal. Just scroll through his pictures and you'll come across some amazing results. That's where my friend went. His hand looks like ours. No signs of ink at all. I personally think your work is fine but it comes down to personal preference. Keep your head up, you'll be okay. Just improve yourself in the meantime. Life is to short to be depressed about a tat. I've finally realized that as well !
