Beginning my journey to remove this huge tattoo. I have several other tattoos but this is the one I like the most. However, after receiving so many negative comments from my customers, (I'm a hairdresser) I have decided to try to remove it. I always wear long sleeves to work now, and find that I am self conscious to show it even in my personal time. I hate it that I care so much what other people think. I wish I could just own it and wear my tattoo boldly. This tattoo is not perfect and contains elements that I have never been happy with. It only loosely resembles the concept I brought to my tattoo artist and I think it ended up looking very masculine instead of the ultra feminine vision I had in my mind. This was all a freehand design. I got this tattoo in memory of my mother, who always wanted to go to Hawaii, but never got there.

I think mine is so very masculine!

It's strange that we both feel that our tattoos are masculine. All the black design around my flowers makes me feel that way.

Right after and one week after 1st session
Little did I know how much pain there would be. My bandage is stuck and I could not loosen them even by soaking. It peeled off sheets of my skin. Such trauma. Don't know if I can go through with this.

Hello. I am about to do Picosure to remove a tattoo on my arm. I have already suffered a 3rd degree burn from Tattoo Vanish and had surgery to remove about 4 sq. inches of skin! So I understand trauma. I'm wondering what kind of laser was used on you, and if this was the expected outcome of your treatment. Did the doctors change the settings on subsequent treatments? Appreciate your advice, as I want to minimize any more trauma from this process. I'm with you in Spirit and wish you strength to feel good about yourself. I know firsthand what you're going through. Best of luck on your journey.

Thank you very much. It's nice to hear from other people who are going through the same thing.
