Hi! By the pictures it does look like the laser is doing it's thing. I can see some broken up lines and in some places it looks like the ink has turned to a shade of brown which I am to understand is normal! Good luck on your removal!! :)

You make a decision. You realize it is not the right decision. But you took the decision. If you didn't take the decision, you would walk around wanting a tattoo. Now you have it and you should enjoy it! It is a bad ass tattoo. I have some tips for fading your tattoo; - Go and train hard every day and take protein shakes with it, put your anger and emotions in your training. Because of your arm getting wider and bigger, this will definately fade your tattoo and make it way, way, way more easier to remove eventually I can almost promiss you this. Next to this you can (of course wisely) let the sun fade the tattoo a little bit.

Hi, your tattoo is very respectable. Because you wanted a tattoo and took one. Well, you regret it and I also regret my choice, but If we never took a tattoo we probably still wanted one. Now we all know how it is to have one, and I don't think this is a bad thing. Living with an unfullfilled desire for a tattoo is also stressful. I see you begun with your hand this give you an indication on the rest of your arm. I wanted to give you some tips for the rest of your arm: - Put all your emotions into positive motivation to gain some real muscle (train one day a week very very very hard en drink a protein shake during or after your trainingsession). Not only your tattoo will look even better this way, it also fades your tattoo (because your arm gets bigger) which makes it much more easier to remove eventually. You can also wait a few years with removing it and just train very hard and gain some kilo's of muscle. This is my own strategy of dealing with my descision. I do not look at my tattoo (and also yours) as a wrong decision. It may not feel this way but your tattoo is all YOU, so as my tattoo is all ME. We both desire our natural arms back, but in the meantime, use your tattoo regret as a motivation to earn the money, gain the muscle and keep your head high man! Because of my tattoo regret I personally got so much energy by my regret, I am now graduating university to earn money to pay my removal, I am very positive in life and I know there are much worse things than your and mine tribal tattoo, Tribal tattoos symbolizes respect and you definately with your tattoo can claim some respect, I am very happy and I have the same regret as all you guys. Overcome your tattoo and you will notice all of you will grow astronomically on it, maybe even more than if you never got your tattoo in the first place. Thank you for reading my comment! I respect all of you. People without tattoos should look up to us for chosing for the DESCISION rather than the INDESCISION. -Excuse me of my english spelling-

man unless you extremely extremly hate this i wouldnt touch it, its so dense and huge ,man. youd have to break that up probably into two or 3 sessions as you cant to the whole arm at once it would be way to much trauma and i dont think a person could handle that amount of pain if they wanted to.. your looking probably at 10-15 sessions for even a cover up, so unless its absolutely ruining your life id leave it, its not badly done

I agree with falco, it's really not badly done, I wonder if anything could be added to it...can't really explain what I am visualizing but I have seen a similar tattoo that they added more detail and it was pretty cool. In saying that, I did see a similar style tattoo being removed, his name is Conan Blake - just google that and you will see, actually I'll PM you the link. He is fading for a cover up as well, so it is possible, but as falco mentions would be probably 10-15 sessions.
