meh

Everything has turned out pretty awesome for me. My skin looks/feels great. I'm gonna wait a couple months more before going back tho. Reading from the start of my review i'm sorta shocked at how bad things were. I regret spilling my guts out on this forum. Some of the things i shared on here were so real yet so stupid to me now. No longer will i post in forums where u have little control over editing your post's. Especially a forum that is pretty touchy for those going through with these treatments. Sorry dudes this will probably be my last update. Good luck to everyone.

update date

so i'm getting ready in the next couple weeks to get hit again. I'm kinda nervous to go back. A LOT of the ink is gone but it just doesn't seem to heal? I took the train down to the city to meet the person i'm looking forward to having do my cover up work someday :( He says i deffinitely should get a couple more treatments. He was also extremely suprised with the outcome so far of my removal. Thing is soo much ink is gone but my skin looks pretty crappy honestly which is making me nuts. He thought i had it treated two weeks ago or something. I'm not sure why but this bad boy just isn't healing. He thought i had some red in there and was a bit shocked to know it was just black. I pray my skin doesnt end up soo bad i wont be able to get a decent cover up. Not like a crazy scar or anything but where the ink is gone the skin looks kinda spongey and shiney and i have redness with like these little red bumps. Wonderful thing is my bestfriend is coming into town this week and i'm a freaking wreck. The place where i met my cover up artist also does removal. I'm debating where to go from here? I honestly don't know if i got a super treatment or just burnt the ink and the crap out of my arm. I'd post pics but ahh.. so harrrd. I'm lost.

Been a loong time since i updated

So it's been 3 months since my first laser treatment. I would post pictures but it looks pretty horrible still. I just got a job that i'm starting monday that pays good so i'm most likely going back for treatment #2 and by then hopefully i will be ready for a cover up. It's weird because sometimes the area looks sooo light but when i put on some cocoa butter or something it looks pretty dark still. I'm debating meeting with my artist and having him decide. My arm is still kinda sore and hurts a bit and i seem to get little pimples. My arm is still not fully healed. I wear short sleeve t shirts a lot now but this thing just wont go away. people still stare at my arm like it's the most bizarre looking thing in the world. I just wish this bs was over already. I know patience is key though and i won't settle for crap. Treatment #2 should be coming soon.
