Have you had it done?

Was it successful?

Was it multicoloured or just black?

Did you have a coverup because you had to or was that the plan all along?

Any advice appreciated

TIA xx

Apparently it's more painful than the actual tattoo. He said to get it made paler then get another over the top.

Good luck

There have been a couple of programmes on to that have shown how it is done.

Laser to burn out the ink, so the pain and blisters Lois to be quite bad.

Although the other programme re does the tattoo to make them better

The laser shoots a pulse into the skin that breaks down the pigments in the tattoo, the body’s immune system then carries it away and the tattoo hence fades away.

As for the pain I’d compare it to getting flicked by an elastic band from close range , it does sting rather like when cooking on a frying pan and it spits.

Aftercare i use a cream called brulidine for a few days till the area has healed and scabbed over. Then just be careful with it and wash normally, once a week lol

It’s a gradual process, I’ve been getting one removed for 12 months now and really seeing results

Thanks guys.

I think I really only gave half a tale here.

I do know the pain/process as I have been having one removed for 3 years (I don’t know the real ‘how long’ as I didn’t go for a LOOONNNNGGG time because of the pandemic’.

The real thing I am trying to chase is ‘success stories’. I don’t want it covered but I am trying to make peace with the fact I might have to xx

Exactly as Misaligned has already said, whilst it’s being done, it’s like being flicked with an elastic band, at close range, afterwards, I compare it to the feeling of like a steam burn, your skin will be really tender, my tattoo was on my back and just black, it took quite a while to get rid of mine, but it has now completely gone.

My friend is in the process of having three removed, she goes to Bristol every... 10 weeks I think?

One of them (inside wrist) is completely gone. That was 20 years old and the time the ink has been in does affect it, I think. Older = quicker go bye-bye.

But yeah, that was pink and green with thick black lining, and it's just... s'gone

I’ve been getting mine taken off like i said for 12 month since pandemic and have a session every 8 to 10 weeks. Parts have already pretty much gone and as if nothing was ever there. Other more complicated areas as in colours are still in the process but with noticeable changes.

If you keep going then it will completely disappear but it is a long gradual process. Stick with it

I'm in the middle of getting a multi coloured one removed.

It hurts. A lot.

A lot.

The healing of the blisters and swelling is worse than a tattoo. It's like the raw meat phase for a week.

Do your research in to the quality of the lasers as a lot of lasers don't work on all the frequencies to remove all colours. Apparently blue and green are a bastard to get rid of

I go to a place that does multi channel removal so a laser goes first and "drills" little holes and then the removal laser blasts down and in to the colour better.

Oh and it hurts A LOT.

I've had it done and it was the most painful thing ever

I never got the area finished although the bit that was done has faded nicely

I'm going to get a cover up instead, will ne much less painful

I understand that red ink is the most difficult to remove.
