Take It Away!! GB
UPDATED FROM Regretfulkate
A year later.......
For starters process is much longer than I anticipated! It's getting there though. I've had 9 treatments so far to get it to his stage! Yeah it hurts.... Like REALLY hurts but once it's over it's not painful so you've gotta grit your teeth and get on with it. I don't know how many treatments I've got to go, I guess it's like asking how long is a piece of string! I only got the 9th session done yesterday so it's pretty raised and looks a bit gross at the moment. My first 5 treatments I wasn't happy with the place and they've caused a slight scar on the tip of the heart (left side) so I loved to a clinic which have been brilliant. My journey continues......
UPDATED FROM Regretfulkate
3rd removal session
It's been 9 days since my 3rd laser treatment, and I'm finally starting to see some significant fading (yippee!!). After this session I had a few litte blisters, which I haven't experienced before. As you can see it is a little scabby on the left corner, I caught the scab accidentally a few days ago and some of it pulled off, I've been keeping an eye on in though and hopefully it will still heal ok!? Fingers crossed!

Good luck with your treatments. A part of my tattoo also has dense, black lines like your tattoo so I will be following your review. I had 1 q-switch and 1 pico so far. The shaded area of my tattoo is responding nicely, but the dense black lines have not changed at all :(

I'm using a Qswitch too, it's taken until this third treatment for me to see any significant difference, I didn't really see any change after the first treatment either. I was told as mine is quite dense it would take a few treatments to see the difference, something about penetrating and shattering the ink (I've a memory like a sieve!)
Glad the shading is fading for you, hopefully the dense lines will start to follow suit soon :-)

Hi, they said after the way I reacted to the patch test after 6 treatments it should be vastly faded if not gone altogether, although that's only an estimate and it all depends on my body so it may take a few more than that. I'm having it done with a Q-Switch laser
