Hey guys I'm so sad that it's turning out this way... the skin under my tattoo looks really thin and wrinkled and there are parts where it's a lot thicker where I know there's scars. I have been following the aftercare instructions after the removal and have kept it moisturized and out of the sun. The only thing I can think of was exfoliating the area probably 2 weeks after initially getting the tattoo which I shouldn't have done but I was just so emotionally overwhelmed that I thought it would help fade the dense shading and heal faster so I know that was what caused scarring but it seems like laser has made it worse. I'm afraid of what's to come and if it's only going to get worse with more treatments. Any advice? ):

It's been 2 weeks since the first treatment, what do you guys think? Some areas are a little thicker so I'm hoping it will soften up soon. Next treatment is August 2nd!

Awesome! I bet in about 6 more weeks you'll see even more fading! I was told to wait 3-4 months in between treatments as your body will continue to remove those ink particles. Be patient and I'm sure you'll get rid of your tattoo completely. Great start! Can't even really see the roses at all :)

Looking good! I'm about to have my first Picosure session on my upper arm (half sleeve in black as well). However, all of my outlines look like the outlines of your pearls. I look forward to watching your progress, hoping to get the guts to start a review once I've had my first treatment. Thanks and good luck!

Thank you! It's going to be pretty emotionally draining but I've found some things to help! Buying a shrug and long/half sleeve shirts that protect against UV rays is one! Keeps it out of the sun and keeps it out of sight while healing because it's not pretty. Also if you're going for a coverup I've found that talking to your artist first gives you a lot of hope. Good luck to you as well!

Thanks for the tips! I've been rocking the long half sleeve shirts as well; I definitely need more shrugs lol I look forward to your progress :)

I haven't had any yet greenbamboo, my first appt was today but it got rescheduled for next Wednesday. Guess they had to "service" the laser last minute. I'm very nervous -_-
