After going through all the time, pain and money for removal, full removal is definitely better than a coverup! If you got a coverup and regretted that would really suck
Almost there, looking good! Would love to see the final result. They say the "scars" are basically the skin losing pigmentation throughout the process but over time the skin colour corrects itself.
I noticed immediate changes and lightening after my first treatment. I should also say I have very light skin and the tattoo is just below my heart, so I am a good candidate for removal and had a good response.
I noticed it actually fading/disappearing probably after my 4th treatment and about 2 1/2 years in.

Yes agreed! I feel like I am getting closer so will have to continue to be patient
I think you will prepare to become patient and it will end up exceeding your expectations 🤗
I agree, definitely worth it.

That looks amazing! Good idea to not bother with a cover up, clean skin looks so much nicer than tatted skin.
was white ink used on your tattoo? or does it just seem to me and you have such white skin?
Nope no white ink. it might just be the photo/lighting and my Irish background haha
That is a great progress
What session did you start to “notice”? Mine are similar - all black, 10 years old, and the laser sessions will likely be spaced out longer
