My Laser Removal Story

Here are some pics! Still have a little work to do, but my old tattoo is GONE! Forever! I'm so happy! (Don't mind the toys lol)

So after some research, I decided to go with gray for the roses! I wasn't 100% satisfied with the idea of color, since I would have preferred black and gray if I'd had no restrictions. I looked more into the opaque gray color and found that I actually really like it! It is a similar look to black and gray, which I love! I didn't get a picture at the shop because the tattoo artist wrapped me up quickly and I wore my bandage for 3 days as instructed. So now I'm healing and it's pretty dry/scabby/peeling/etc. So I will add some pictures very soon!!

I had my second cover up session yesterday! The artist had originally wanted to do a full color piece, but I wanted to do more of a black and gray piece. He said we could definitely do the leaves and filigree in black and gray shading, but for the roses he thought color would be better (purple, blue, and pink is what he suggested... the big one on bottom purple, the medium one blue, and the smallest one pink) . He said if I didn't want color we could do the actual color gray (not just shaded black or watered down black). I never really liked the gray color, so I think I will stay away from that. I think I'm leaning towards doing the roses in color. I do like the idea of purple, but I also like the idea of blue. But if I did purple and blue, the third rose would be pink. I'm ok with that idea, but also wondering if I should do the roses all the same color... either all purple or all blue... I have 2 weeks to decide! No matter what I am so much happier already!! You cannot see any of the old tattoo under what is finished! He said we may do another pass over what he just did, once it heals and we can see how it looks! I can't wait to see! It looks a bit darker in the pictures than it will be because my skin is "angry" lol. The pain was much better this session than the last. That is to be expected I guess due to the style of tattooing done. Outline is more painful to most than shading. I think we went for about an hour and a half for this session. Maybe 2. I'm not sure, I don't watch the time!
