It's been about 4 months since my last treatment! I have my 4th treatment tomorrow. Not looking forward to it. I'm also not sure about the results...I can see only very minor differences between the 2nd and the 3rd treatment. Hoping to see more fading this time...
How do you guys think it's going? I know removal is a long shot with all the color here... but I have to keep it up. For now, anyway. It's been just over a year with this tattoo, and just under a year since my first laser session. I know it's taking longer due to waiting so long between sessions, but as long as there's some progress, it's okay. I'm just not sure what the next step would be if there's no longer any progress being made with laser treatments. :/
Will update again before the next treatment in December!

It’s getting there. Laser is a slow process isn’t it. I’ve had 8 now on my outer arm, think I have another 4 to go. 7 on inside with another 8 to go!!

Oh my gosh it is a really long process, I just got a tattoo and I hate it, it's only 2 weeks old. I'm scared to do laser treatment though because my tattoo is pink, maroon, purple, white and black. Your tattoo gives me so much hope that multi colored tattoos can be removed! Thank you so much for sharing.

11 weeks after 2nd PicoWay treatment

It's been 11 weeks since my last treatment, and I'm about ready for the next one! I keep reading the longer between treatments the better, so I'm waiting at least 12 weeks. I put a side by side between my tattoo before any treatments and now, and there's definitely fading happening! The blues and greens definitely, some of the purples. The bright pink/red is being more stubborn. Looking forward to see more progress after the next treatment. Slow and steady...

Hi. Howe dense and deep is the color of the part you want to have removed and do you go somewhere in Germany?

3 days after 2nd treatment

I think I've officially entered the itchy phase...wonderful! :/ So far so good, though, I think. Compared to last time, it looks like more area is red/blistery. Does that mean more area was affected by the laser? Also, looks like there's some browning going on on the upper part. Hopefully that's a normal reaction? Pink/purple-turned-greyish is underneath. Anyway, we'll see how it is in 4 weeks. Hoping to start exercising more to help with fading. :)
