"Oh haha thought you meant laser tattoo removal silly me!

"I've had a bit if laser removal Mainly due to having a cover up, what I wanted wouldn't cover the old one without bits showing so I had two options have the one I wanted and have the bit from the old one still showing removed via laser or pick a different tattoo that would fully cover the old one so I opted for laser treatment It's still quite expensive if you go to a qualified person though there are some cowboys out there doing it much cheaper so do your research And I'm not going to lie it hurts, it burns for a few days after too in your first two or three sittings but your skin gets used to it after that Took around eight sittings before mine where totally gone and I'm happy with the results, its left a tiny bit of scaring in a few places but you have to really look hard to see it, I doubt anybody would notice if I didn't point it out " Ah right... they just want to fade mine as it is black writing (sons name... left alone in Dublin one day, I got bored, got a tattoo I immediately regretted but typical man, didn't have a rubber!!!!  ) So have decided whilst I have some cash to get it sorted. So you got the cover up tattoo too? How did that go? | |||

"I was advised to have laser removal THEN the cover up tattoo done... sorry maybe I didn't make that clear in my original post" I had mine done the other way round I had the cover up done first, then they lasered the bits still showing from the old tattoo, that way they just remove exactly what needs taking off, I can't see the point in sitting through having the whole old one off that's just more pain and money that's needed 
Plus it would be really painful to have a new tattoo over lasered skin | |||

So you got the cover up tattoo too? How did that go?"Yeah it went well to be honest, I read an article which said there's quite a high percentage of people who have their first one covered up then go on to far more detailed pieces, pretty much what happened to me, original one was about 3-4 inches, cover up is heading towards a full sleeve soon! | |||

Let you off then "I've had two cover ups, but only had a tiny bit of the old tattoo left on show, I opted for skin pigment colouring over it instead of removal (it was in a very awkward place). My freind is currently having laser removal on her chest/breastbone, 3 sessions in its fading well, be aware it's advised to keep It out of sunlight during the process, and although it stings for a while, it looks worth it. | |||

I think it's a suck it and see thing | |||

" I've heard the pain is akin to an elastic band being pinged in your skin... Thanks "To be honest that's exactly what its like, only the ping is sharper. I had two sessions of laser removal needed for a cover up. The tattoo itself was quite old so two was all I needed to dilute the colour enough to be covered up nicely. When the laser first hits your skin, it looks like miracle and then whole area goes white. But soon after the pigment returns and you think "Bastard" 
I had a guy who came to my house and did it, 50 for each session. It worked for me and although having your skin blasted with a laser constantly for 30 mins wasn't my kind of fun, it got the job done nicely  | |||

Thanks "I was told it was like having an elastic band twanged but iv had 4 lasered and believe me it's not. It's just like a tiny blow torch and the smell of burning flesh in your throat lasts for hours. If you look on my Instagram steevo3 you can see what to expect but having said that the end result is well worth it..just preparing you that's all  | |||

They clearly had the machine dialled up way too high for yourself. There should be no blisterting or burning after treatment whatsoever. | |||

"I've had 2 lazered so that I can have them covered over without having to go darker than the original, definitely the better option as I've seen so many cover ups where you can clearly see the existing tattoo underneath " Thanks for the reassurance | |||

I was told 4 weeks..... "It usually takes up to 6 weeks to break down the ink, I've had lazer at a few different places and they all say a minimum of 6, maybe they are just over cautious | |||

"Want to get a tattoo covered up but was advised to have some laser removal sessions first to make the cover up more successful. Me being me I've done my research and have made alternative arrangements due to no swimming for x amount of time and blah blah. Has anyone had this done successfully or even unsuccessfully and want to share their story?" I've never had laser tattoo removal but I've had laser scar removal and I've also had tattoos covered. Both with excellent results. MrWho. | |||
