No One Really Explained to Me About the TYPE of Blisters...- Tyler, TX

UPDATED FROM catbishop

3 weeks after the 5th session.

There's always a strange point in the healing process for me where the tattoo actually looks darker than when I got it zapped. As if the ink is rising up to the surface before breaking up. I'm sure that's not what really causes it but freaks me out a little every time. Ugh....so tired of this. I think I'm about $1500 into it at this point. The doctor brought up "acceptance" as a topic this time, that I should decide on what I'm willing to live with in terms of the ink that's still there. He's basically saying it won't all go away. I kinda wanted to punch him. Weirdly enough, even with the massive blisters, no scarring so far.

Hi, just checking in for an update -- how are you making out with your removal?

Hello,
I also have an ankle tattoo and have had 5 sessions. I was wondering how this healed for you and if you are going to do a 6th session?

Hope all is well.

Fell off the removal wagon but trying again.

I lost interest in getting rid of this for a while but am tired of a half there-ghosted tatt so I'm starting back. My 4th session was about a month ago. You have to get up close to it to tell it's a tattoo anymore, from first glance looks like some weird bruising on my ankle.

6 weeks after 3rd treatment.

I think the numbing cream I used interfered with the effectiveness of the laser. I don't see much difference.
