My Experience getting laser tattoo removal

The pictures show the result of 3 laser removal sessions with six weeks break inbetween each session, the sessions need to spaced apart to heal the skin after each session as it's a pretty full on ordeal and much more traumatik than you really expect when you have the idea of removing the tattoo in the first place. The healing needed is pretty intense as the laser actually blasts the ink particles apart leaving their fragmented residue in the skin tissue, My tattoo blew up like a blister each time and the arm swelled like a bee sting.. The body then processes the ink through the kidney or liver (whichever the same one is for alcohol) and is comparable in damage to a heavy weekend of alcohol abuse.

Each time I had the sessions done it was unbelievably painful and the results did look amazing in the moments after the session is complete but the thought doesn't last as the skin turns pink and bubbles like a huge boil, once the boil has healed the skin is left with a little bit of a blurrier version only really feeling happy after all 3 sessions AND the cover up blast-over tattoo. Maybe in another 3 sessions and 18 weeks healing it would have been almost unseen but the 3 sessions had broken most of the black lines up completely and made the queen of hearts unrecognizable so I wasn't really fussed on spending that money, I was covered in tattoos so there was no going back. One thing I learned that would be helpful to remember if you are starting your tattoo journey is: Red ink pigment is almost impossible to have removed for what ever reason.. the laser doesn't remove it very well so just think about it if your going color..

Upvoted:) When I was making my first tatoo I was said that the green palette is irremovable

I thought that reds are OK with it. Well, I don't plan to remove anything anyway. May be add something instead:)

thats not bad though! I would totally add to it ( i am a quarter Irish!)
You see my red is still very noticeable i think, almost as noticeable as the red on my wrist in the last picture..

Yep, I see... It's kust I thought that red can be removed, and green - no.
Yep, I have an instant St. Patrick's day:)

I wonder if smashing it with black ink first would do anything to help remove it in the long run.. haha yeah well its better to be Irich than Ipoor.. :P
