Getting a tattoo removed on friday

Read the thread, I've already explained why.

 

3 hours away are you excited or nerves?

 

Just about ready to puke my cousin got one removed from her belly and passed out lol.

 

Well, it's wasn't terrible but I wouldn't consider it a fun friday night!

It feels alot like getting slapped by a rubber band over and over again. I'm going to the post the picture of it right after, then I'll post a picture every week because it will continue to fade for another 8 weeks.

 

looks like you burned your finger

 

Thanx for sharing, as they say. (Some want to say Too Much Info)

But you may not know how helpful these personal body mod progressions you're posting can be. There are likely ppl reading this thread who are considering getting a tat removed. Your walking them thru it may be a big help (or scare them into living with a bad tat) .

When I broke my leg, it was a two-year experience of slow healing (did the cast, did the surgery and titanium plate and screws, did cellulitis and did all sorts of tests to rule out really bad things that could have occured.) I put the whole experience on a Web page.

I actually got feedback from a guy who came across my Webpage because he was researching one of the things that I went thru. He thanked me for letting him know what was possibly next in line.


OUCH!

 

Thanks Shale, it looks terrible today. Blistered to hell.

 

Day two and it's really super blistered and it's strange because theres no pain at all.


I can see the left side of the tattoo is almost gone, the right is still dark and will probably need to be hit by another session but so far I'm impressed with the results.

 

to me so far it just looks like a blisterd bruise...but it's healing going to heal right?

 

It's not photographing very well, but it is noticable fading. Everyday it's better.

 

i love going to dark basements with dripping pipes and rats to get my tattoos done by a fat convict with a homemade tattoo gun...sometimes i even get raped, and like it.

 

Nah, that was too high class for me.

Saftey pin and india ink ftw.

 

Well, I'm almost 3 weeks in and I'd say that it looks about 80% gone, it blistered huge, which was disgusting and I wasn't expecting it. The blister stayed for the entire first week until I got my hand stuck in a box when I was packing and put a hole in it. Then the skin finally turned into a scab which most has now fallen off. It's itchy, all the time. I'm attaching a photo, but it doesn't show it's progress as much as I'd like. Crappy 4 mega pixel camera for you.

I'll reattach all the photos so you don't have to read the entire thing over again.

If I did it right, it should be Before, Right after, Day two, and week three.

 

theres this stuff i just heard of its like tattoo fade cream give a look see if u dont want to keep with the laser stuff

 

^^ you're a bit late...

 

Heheheh Drew

I've seen the creams, but I want this gone by my wedding and that invovles me using a method that works quickly.

 

WEDDING?

Your not going to leave us when you get other "distractions" are you?

 

AWWW Shale!!!!

I'll never leave you!

I'm like a leach

 

Well, I had another session done yesterday. I went to somewhere else because I didn't have much confidence in the person who did the first session. This new girl is half the price and guarantees her work.

The pain was less the second time, I don't know if thats because i was expecting it or what, and I haven't blistered half as bad..

I'll post pictures as it starts to look like something other than red.
