I had totally forgot i had an account on here but recieved a comment so thought i’d do an updare to offer hope to anyone starting out on their journey.

I still have white ink and a faint line where the tattoo was but i never even think about it now! Die to being a freckle monster it seems less noticable as i dont have pure even toned skin anyway, but hopefully these photos will show that although not totally gone the remainder of the tattoo outline doesnt bother me. Still the bedt decision i ever made getting it removed at proskin harley street. I have a small black butterfly on my back from my teens and i’m g getting that removed later in the year.

Wishing everyone great results, any qu’s please don't hesitate to msg me

Hi I’m about to start removing a medium size tattoo from my forearm, I’m only 18 years old but the toll this has taken on me is like nothing else, I have had to take a year off of school because I can’t do anything or focus at all without becoming consumed by feelings of
Anxiety and depression ... wondering if you have any advice

How does your arm go in the sun now? My tattoo has white highlights and I'm worried they'll be left over and be very visible if I get a tan

Sorry for my english. You have blisters after the Treatment? Have remained scars? How much did your treatments cost? How much time you need to remove your tattoo? Thx

hi if your still on here ( hope you are) can you provide any advise for people considering removal process? on side note, did all the white in your tattoo clear? I understand that white is resistant to laser? any info provided would be appreciated on this forum. thx!

Hey tat removers! just thought i'd pop an update on as 15 months have flown past!
i rarely think about what used to be my large tattoo now. there are still some small marks and a tiny bit of black in places but it really doesnt even hit my radar anymore! i did consider one last blast of the laser but i'm honestly happy with how my arm looks so for now, my picosure journey is over!
See below for some pics taken this evening
good luck to everyone undergoing this process x x
Ps i'm currently doing my toes hence gel pots everywhere! Haha!

Hey:) thank you so much for your Review! I'm realy happy for you that the Pico made such a good Job! May i Ask if you have any scarring? If yes is it from the Laser or the Tattoo?

Hi Maria Maria! there is slight scarring but it really is slight and its more likely from scabs that i raked at during the very itchy phases of healing than from the origional tattoo. I tried incredibly hard to avoid scratching and raking at the itch! But the odd occasion i succumbed has obviously caused the scarring. i still use Bio oil daily and in summer put a high factor on that area ( then use fake tan to match it to my outer arm!)
in some lights its bearly noticable and in stronger lights it just has a few outlines which are smooth to touch and flattened not raised. No-one ever notices them they just cant believe i ever had such a large tattoo!
March 18, 2017
Thanks for your reply:) That's good to hear. And the Scars will become less noticeable over time. Hope Mine Skin will Also Look Good After i'm Done. I'm also a Little bit nervous that my Skin won't tan After I'm done, but i think i have to be Patient and careful... Hope the Pico and Enlighten won't dissapoint me:)

How long did you have your tattoo before u started the removal process? And how many weeks in between each session?
User Avatar
April 7, 2017
I put up with it for 10 months! to be honest i rang a removal studio the day after i got it done... But tried to love it for a few months. Just wasnt for me. i had 6-8 weeks between each of the 8 sessions. Started oct 2014... Finished dec 2015

Hi, thank you for your story! May I ask if you have white ink on your skin? If no did Pico remove it?
User Avatar

Yes i had quite a few white highlights. Initially the pico made it go a dirty grey.... then over time its lightened and now really just blends in with my skin. White is definately harder for the pico to remove- i was told this prior to starting treatment also
